If you have no idea how hitmen are hired to execute a task, why bother yourself? And why would a woman want to hire a hitman to kill her ex-husband, the man she once said ‘Yes I do’ to?
Well, a Michigan woman is currently in the grips of the law after using a fake website to hire a hitman to execute her ex-husband. She couldn’t spot that the website she was busily trying to hire a hitman on was fake. She’s been busted and pleaded guilty in court.
The Daily Mail reports that 52-year-old Wendy Lynn Wein “pleaded guilty after trying to hire someone to kill her ex-husband through a fake murder-for-hire website called ‘Rent-A-Hitman.'”
Wendy Lynn Wein, 52, of South Rockford, entered in a guilty plea Friday after using the phony website last year in an effort to have her former husband murdered.
‘Got A Problem That Needs Resolving? With Over 17,985 US Based Field Operatives, We Can Find A Solution That’s Right For You!’ the website reads, alongside a badge showing that the website is the only organization in the world that is ‘100 percent compliant with the Hitman Information Privacy & Protection Act of 1964.’
‘All of our competitors websites cannot say that and shouldn’t be trusted — Capisce!’
Wein completed a service request on the site in July of 2020, writing to a made-up contracted killer by the name of Guido Fanelli that she wanted to have her ex-husband killed because he stole $20,000 from her.
The website owner has been identified as Bob Innes — an IT professional who hit up the police when the woman tried hiring a hitman to eliminate her former husband.
The owner behind the fake website, an IT professional who’s real name is Bob Innes, immediately contacted state police, who in turn sent an undercover detective posing as a hitman to meet with her.
‘She completed a “service request form” on the website and requested a consultation to help her with an “issue,”‘ Detective Sgt. Michael Peterson said.
‘Wein specified her ex-husband as the target of her problems.’
She had added in her request for a hired killer that she did not want to commit the murder herself, as she didn’t want to go to jail.
‘I prefer not going jail. Thank you for your time,’ her hitman request concluded.
Wein eventually met with the undercover detective and provided him information about her ex-husband before paying him a $200 down payment for the hit, while agreeing on a $5,000 total for the job.
Wein will be sentenced on January 13, 2022, and could face up to nine years in prison on charges of solicitation of murder and using a computer to commit a crime.
Wendy Lynn Wein is the only person who has fallen for the fake hitman hiring website.
