Call this new breed of spam the “Kelly’s Hero” variety. It purports to offer victims a chance to share some good old-fashioned war booty.
This breed of calumnity has been in the air for a while, but I’m still amazed that people bite on it. Sure, Americans are greedy, but are we really this stupid?
I hope my e-mail find you well. I need your assistance. My name Is Sgt.Pete Geren, I am an American soldier with the Bravo Co, 1st Battalion in IRAQ for the United States, we have $25,000,000,00, that is in our Possession and we are ready to move it out of the country. The money, which is now in the custody of a Security Company, is part of the Money we seized from late Saddam Hussein but were not declared.
My colleague and I need a good partner someone we can trust to actualize this Venture, but we are moving it through diplomatic means to your house directly Or a safe and secured location of your choice using a shipping company, but Can we trust you? Once the funds get to you, you take your 40% out and keep our own 60%, if you are interested I will furnish you with more details, awaiting your Response.
