I am monitoring you.” She went to the Houston, Texas, police anyway, who informed her they had received several similar complaints. According to the FBI, the “Hitman Scam” text has been sent to people around the world. “I think that it evokes some sort of emotional response from myself and others,” Hendrix said. “It was definitely a look over your shoulders type of moment.” (MS/KHOU Houston) ...Emotional response: understandable. Financial response: for suckers only.
