azuriteDid you ever get one of those Nigerian email scams, claiming that someone was stuck in a dire situation somewhere in/around Nigeria, and they had cases full of money to share with you, if only you could help them out somehow? Like, provide your personal credit information so they can wire you $2.7 million, so you can "keep it in safety" until the person can get out of their sticky situation?
Well apparently the creative folks behind those good ol' fashioned schemes (which people still fall for... goes to show the world is full of stupid people) have come up with something new for the patriotic American:
Dear Friend
I am Captain Brian James of the US Marine Force on Monitoring and Peace
keeping mission in Baghdad-Iraq. On the 8th day of Jan 2007, we were
alerted on the sudden presence of some Terrorists camping in a suburb not
too far from Karbala here in Iraq . After Immediate intervention, we
captured three (3) of the Terrorists, twenty-six (26) were killed
leaving seven (7) injured.In the process of torture they confessed being
rebels for late Ayman al-Zawahiri and took us to a cave in Karbala which
served as their
camp. Here we recovered several guns, bombs and other Ammunitions including
some boxes among which two contains nuclear weapons, one filled with hard
drugs(cocaine) and the other four to my amazement contain some US Dollars
amounting to $7.2M after I and two of my junior telligent officers counted
them. I however instructed them to keep this in high secrecy.
I am in keen need of a Reliable and ustworthy person like you who would
receive, secure and protect these boxes containing the US Dollars for me
up on till my assignment elapses in here in Iraq. I assure and promise to
give you 14% of this fund, however feel free to negotiate what you wish to
have as your percentage in this business..
Please assure me of your keeping this topmost secret to protect my job with
the US Monitoring and Peace-Keeping mission.
Sincere regards,
Capt.Brian James.
Oops, was I not supposed to post this on the World Wide Web? Dear me, dear me...
It made me laugh. Mainly because of the Totally random Caps which May have some Significance but as to What, I do not KNOW.
