FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. -- Fairfax County police are warning residents about an e-mail extortion scam.

Police said they have received several complaints about residents receiving e-mails that say the sender was paid by someone to kill the recipient. The e-mails say the recipient can pay a fee to spare his or her life and request an e-mail reply to discuss the money transfer, police said.

Police warned citizens not to reply and said the e-mails are part of a scam to obtain personal information, which could lead to identity theft

Police are asking people who receive these e-mails to report them to the Internet Crime Complaint Center.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Solvers by phone at 866-411-TIPS or online at www.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org. Tipsters can also text "TIP187" and a message to CRIMES/274637 or call Fairfax County police at 703-691-2131.

And in a related note, please disregard the emails that will come in late October urging Republicans and Independents to vote on Tuesday and the Democrats to vote on Wednesday to avoid overcrowding at the polls.
