East Lansing police are investigating two related reports of a threatening e-mail scam.
Two East Lansing residents reported receiving e-mails with the subject line “Be More Careful,” in which the sender threatened to kill them if they didn’t wire him or her $15,000.
East Lansing police Sgt. Scott Wriggelsworth said any recipients should delete any e-mail with that subject line or forward it to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov.
Wriggelsworth said residents who receive the e-mail aren’t in any danger and that the sender seems to be conducting a scam to get money.
