Before the war in my country (Iraq) I deposited some funds with a Bank for safe keeping which I am looking for a partner that will help me retrieve the funds from the Bank as I cannot travel out at the moment because of my present predicaments /conditions which I will explain to you as we progress. My name is Hammud AL-Majid Ali from Iraq. Late Saddam Hussein totally brought destruction / Hell and political instability to our great country and everything is practically difficult now. Please if you accept this offer of assistance you are required to give me your Name, age, occupation, country and address.

2. You will be entitled to 30% of the total sum involved for your assistance.

3. As soon as you have the funds in your custody, we will enter a new arrangement on which sector you will invest my share of the funds in on my behalf to generate enough money for the up keep of my family in your country.

4. This project is 100% risk free, but you must keep it very secret and confidential with strong assurance that you will never let me down at all.

Please note that my aim to transfer the funds to you for investment is because I want my wife and 4 kids to join you and stay under your care, hope my family will find comfort, peace and happiness once again in your country.

Don't know. But I know I'm not one that would fall for it see my 419 Scam in my Junk Mail Box thread.

Would be easy for some person who is in a serious dept problem to fall for these sorts of scams.

If nobody fell for scams like this, they wouldn't keep circulating them.

 

[Plexx]

Unfortunately, the sad truth is that there are many users falling for scams like those.

That and the fact that some people are not computer educated enough to distinguish between a scam or not makes them an easy target.
