There are many websites on the internet that make people scratch their heads, but for the most part every link is either some form of entertainment or something useful. Still, one woman in Michigan seemed to be a bit confused about the purpose of one website, and has now been arrested for her involvement in a murder-for-hire plot. The woman visited the website, rentahitman.com, hoping to find someone to help “take care” of her ex-husband.
Wendy Wein was arrested in Michigan on Monday, after it was revealed she visited a website in hopes of finding someone to murder her ex-husband. The website, rentahitman.com, includes fake customer testimonials, and made up information about the service such as being 100% HIPPA compliant with the "Hitman Information Privacy and Protection Act of 1964." After the woman filled out a form on the website, its creator decided to report her to Michigan police.
"I can't believe someone would think that a web site like this exists," said Michigan State Police Lt. Brian Oleksyk. Wein reportedly met up with an undercover agent and told them she would pay $5,000 for their services, and was arrested. This is even more proof that not everything on the internet is real.
