New 419 scam
It's not Nigeria anymore folks. Another corrupt government is awash in cash and rumors of cash, buckets of cash (and swarms of scams) sloshing out of the US involvement in Iraq.
I just got email from a Colonel in the U.S. army, "unfortunately implicated" in "the prisoner abuse scandal" and under house arrest in Germany, who has $21.7 million that he'd like to share under "the fairest ratio we shall both agree on as a settlement."
Remember the 419 parody last year, "I am George Walker Bush, president, and the son of former president George Herbert Walker Bush . . . "?
There's no sign of parody in this one. Looks real. Maybe I'll write to the guy, hey, ya never know.
