. . . . . finding new way to try to scam us? Got this in e-mail today and I'm just sick and tired of it. All the crap e-mail, scams, the you might find this interesting note, trying to take your money stuff, and whatever on the Internet. This junk mail fills my mailbox. 5 notes and 4 of them are junk. No matter how you filter it, something gets through.


Urgent News From Iraq

I am Herman R Hansley,I am a Military Contractor with the America troop

I am currently on duty break. My partner Darren D. Braswell,36, of
Riverdale, Ga., died Jan. 7th near TalAfar, Iraq, when the UH-60 Blackhawk

and Air Force Exchange Service, before his death We secretly moved some
abandoned cash in a mansion belonging to the former president, Saddam
Hussein and the total cash is US$20,200,000.00 Twenty Million two hundred
thousand Dollars.

As I write this letter to you, these boxes are in Security Company as I
secretly moved it out of Baghdad to safe place.

Sir I seek your consent to help me move this money to your country location.

You do not have to be afraid of anything as no one else knows about this
and everything is safe. I would be pleased and grateful to you if you
could assist me and my late partner Darren D. Braswel in receiving this
boxes for us on your behalf as I will be heading back soon to camp in Iraq
to join my colleagues. Of course, I shall compensate you with an
attractive percent of the total funds for your role/efforts. We have
limited time now as you know that our evacuation agreement is been
negotiated by the USA and IRAQI government, kindly get back to me
immediately.

Moving the funds out of the security company is not going to be much of a
problem as arrangements are being made towards that. All I want from you
is your trust,

Yours in Service.
Herman R Hansley


It's funny, Herman can't even get the amount of money correct writing 'Twenty Million two hundred
thousand Dollars' when it's 'twenty billion, two hundred million dollars'. And even that is not correct according to the link to the newspaper article. The newspaper article only lists $100 million and $650 million dollars, a far cry from $20 billion Herman is claiming. What kind of idiot does this scammer think we are?

As long as there are gullible people, you did know, didn't you, that the word gullible doesn't appear in any dictionary?, there will be people to exploit them.

Thanks to computers that note is going out to countless thousands of people, if they have a 0.001% success rate, they still made some good coin, and all for some mass emailing that cost them next to nothing.
