Similar thing happened to me about five years ago, and I called the
local FBI office.

Turns out to be a fairly common scam. The FBI told me to ignore it.

My club has a trailer for a Twin Astir that could well attract death
threats. I've certainly felt like doing bodily harm to the guy that
built it whenever I have to use it.

Seriously though, this is the first time I've heard of this particular
scam. I've seen quite a few advance fee fraud attempts when selling
two of our club gliders but never this. I suppose that as the scammer
is saying that someone else tried to hire him to kill you he's not
really making an actual death threat which is why the F.B.I. told mike
to just ignore it.

It seems to me that one of the trailers below would be more likely to
justify a death theat. Or at least a blinding.
LOL

Death threat? I was thinking they might have caused suicides by previous
owners.

I can see some significant gnashing of teeth since I got such a good
deal on the Avionic trailer..............and the tube trailer is just
spiffy! Maybe someone thinks I should just give it away........
