Dumb, dumber

SPAM tactics will not work for a campaign which involves a physical threat big enough to hit the news.

One of the reasons why previous extortion campaigns worked is that the recipients did not tell any one. The stupid ones paid, the smarter ones filed it in the rounded folder.

In this case it hit the news and everybody realized it is a fluke within half an hour.
