I’ve receive heaps of Nigerian style ‘help us get this oil money out of the country’ spam but this was the first Iraq themed such spam:
Dear Sir,
My name is, Capt Ernest Taylor representing a faction of American soldiers, serving in the military of the 1st Armoured Division in Iraq, we came across your e-mail address(s) in the process of research and enquiry into an immense military global data base.
I believe you are familiar with the war situation in Iraq? Besides the killings, a lot of activities do occur; sales of antiques, discovery of stocked foreign cash and lots more. In April 2003, Staff Sergeant Kenneth Buff of the United States Army found US$160 million hidden by fleeing members of the Baath Party led by former dictator Saddam Hussein of Iraq.
Later, a search of the area revealed more hidden loot, total US$650 million. All of this was turned to the USA Administration in Iraq.
Recently, during a routine archaeological excavation of the area east of Tigris River, I and my three other colleagues discovered 1 box of the similar kind found by US Army! After careful examination we discovered that it is $100 US Dollars bills total USD 16Million which we concealed and packaged in one box hidden safely and later send to Europe by a special Courier Service.
We require a trustworthy, upright and business minded individual for opening account in Europe and to receive this money for save keeping. Details will be sent upon signal of interest. Our contact email : [removed]
Thanks for your co-operation
Signed,
Capt. E. Taylor
The email came through an old NZ ISP email address I still have forwarding to me.
Oh yeah on the trading side - Ouch! 3 trades stopped out for full R’s as the market reversed to the down side. I have one more position that’s holding up ok-ish. Will detail the trades later.
