What do you do when you want your ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend rubbed out?
Why, you go to hitmanforhire.com, of course.
The FBI and a federal indictment say that Marissa Mark did just that.
The feds say that Mark used three stolen credit cards to provide the website's "hit man" with a $19,000 down payment on the $37,000 price of the hit, contracted in September 2006. The hit man and website creator, a Las Vegas casino dealer, according to the Las Vegas Sun, had his own PayPal account.
Mark, who lived in Allentown at the time of the solicitation, was arrested yesterday in Jersey City, N.J.
The indictment said that Mark, now 28, wanted the victim, identified only as A.L.R. of California, shot in the head.
The hit man, identified by the Sun as an Egyptian poker dealer at the Bellagio named Essam Ahmed Eid, confronted the intended victim but told her that he couldn't kill her because she looked like his daughter, according to the Sun.
He allegedly offered instead to kill the woman who hired him.
A.L.R. called police, and the hit man fled to Ireland, according to the Sun.
