A security guard to the stars was shocked to receive a 'scary' WhatsApp threat from an 'assassin' warning he'll be shot in the head unless he pays £750 before 'sundown' - with the incident reportedly leaving his pal Ryan Giggs in stitches. Darren Webb says he was left in 'nervous laughter' when he got the alarming message from an unknown number while on shift at Hotel Football, Greater Manchester.
The bizarre threat, shared by the 50-year-old on Twitter, claims the sender is an 'assassin from Blue Den' and Darren's life is 'on the list to be killed in under 48 hours'. It goes on to warn 'if you don't want to die your [sic] to pay $1,000 [£750] before sun down or you'll be shot in the head', and then ends eerily with 'reply if you're ready to live… ignore and die'.
Darren says he's 'never received a threat like it' in all his years as a security guard, including protecting former Manchester United footballers Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs at the hotel - the latter of which he claims was left 'laughing' at the ridiculous threat. The 50-year-old jokes he's been 'looking over his shoulder' on dog walks but believes it's an intense scam aiming to scare people into sending the mystery 'assassin' money.
