SICK Phishing Email uses Iraq Tragedy to Scam People
This is sick. :grr:

I got this spam email today. A phishing scam designed as a plea for help from Iraq.

Please be careful and ignore and report any messages you may get like this..and never send anyone your bank account info!!!!!!


From:Mohammed majani
E-Mail address:elmohammed@wanadoo.es.

 I of the above name and address,male 46 years and a citizen of Iraq.I am in desperate need of your assistance in a matter that is not alien to you.I want to beleive that you are aware of the rate at which citizens and Non Citizens of Iraq are being killed on a daily basis my militant Groups,Al-Qeada groups,ousted president saddam Hussein Loyalist etc.Individuals,coperate bodies,organisations and
investors are porous to these attack by the suicide bombers,arsonist etc.

I will not want to take too much of your time explaining
these ugly scenerio which are being perpetuated every second with no intention to halt,the America troops here are doing so much to curb
these menace,scarificing their lives oblivious of the danger ahead.I am a solicitor by profession I lost two of my children In a bomb blast that exploded in a Government school in Basra,not only that
my investment is being threatened,one is living with the fear of the
unknown.Business activity here is crumbling everyday. I am using this medium to appeal to you to assist my family and salvage my already chatered invest,In the last three months I have sold two
of my companies and my cars and physical assest,the money I realised from these sale amounted to $10,000,000.00(Ten Million united states Dollars). I have discussed with my bank manager and he has decided to assist me,knowing fully well that there is great embargo on the transfer of funds out of Iraq,he adviced me to solicit the assistance of a foreigner who will be able receive this fund into his account pending my arrival.As much as I will not want my investment to go down the drain neither will I want my wife and the
remaining children to die here,I am ready to give you 10% of this money as soon as it is successfully transferred into your account.I beg you in the name of Allah do not descriminate owing to religious
differences or race,we are serving one God.

I will not be able to communicate with you by phone because of phone lines are bad here moreso one has to be careful going to
Government owned parastals to make calls,hence I would have spoken with you to explain better,I will also want you to advice on possible area on investment.

Yours Faithfully.
Mohammed.
