Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Tuesday, June 29, 2004

Now the scammers are trying to pretend that they are Iraqis.

Doubtless they feel that the current situation in Iraq makes us feel sorry for them.

This short email arrived in my email box this morning. Although the writer professes to be in Iraq, his email address is Italian; funny that!

Whatever the location, it is the same story; $15M in a bank account, which they want me to transfer on their behalf.

Some people actually fall for this!

DEAR FRIEND,

CONNECTION WITH THE $15MILLION USD I HAVE IN MY
