The Iraqi 419: It was Inevitable
Earlier this week, I saw a 419 scam purporting to be from the brother of the deposed S. Koreanleader, claiming that they had squirrelled away $21 Million in "legitimate" investments. That was the first SK one I'd seen.
Today, I saw the first Iraqi version. Remember, these people want to Scam, Rob and in some cases kill you. The new version:
Dear Friend,
I have made this contact to you with the hope that you can help me out in this my dilemma / problem. I was the personal aide to the Iraqi minister of education and research. Dr Abd Al-khaliq Gafar. That died in the war. Beforethe war, we had traveled to France to negotiate a contract payment deal onbehalf of the Iraqi government on procurement and payment of educationalmaterials and components for the ministry, which entailed him to pay off ourcustomers by cash for onward delivery of the goods via Turkey. Because ofinternational / UN monetary restrictions /sanction on Iraqi. Since ourentire operating bank accounts had been frozen.
In gust of this he had cleverly diverted this sum ($28.5m) for himself and secured it properly with a security vault in Spain for safekeeping. As he had kept these documents in hidden and secret with my knowledge. Now that he is Dead and I was able to escape to Zamfara for safety on political asylum with this document with me now. Hence I am left with these problems of how to recover and collect this fund for re-invest in a viable venture in your country with your assistance and cooperation. Because of oblivious traveling restricts and sanctions as an Iraqi.
I would really want us to do this deal together if only you can be trusted with this information and project. For more details do reach me via my direct email :elmann_mustapha@arabia.com for further instructions and details. I most remind you that my entire life depends on this fund so
Please do not relay this top secret to a third party if you are not interested.
I await you immediate response.
Remain Blessed.
Regards
El - Mustapha
