Good day,

Your contact was received from the London Chambers of Commerce. I am Capt.Moussa Ibrahimi from Republic of Libyan. I was recruited into the Libyan Army since March 1998; I was an Associate Defense Adviser on arm procurements for the ongoing civil war, to President Muammar Gaddafi of the Republic of Libya.

I and my Libyan Colleague were sent for arms procurement mission to Russia, but unfortunately, we have decided to divert part of the funds for our personal use following the news of the Arm Embargo by the United Nations Security Council and NATO on Libya. We have resolved to discourage further onslaught on the defenseless Libyan civilians by the defiant Gaddafi who has brought shame and dishonor to motherland Africa.

We sincerely need your help to move the sum of £8,000,000.00 British Pounds (Eight Million British Pounds).The funds which were diplomatically brought to London with the Government instrument of President Gaddafi under our supervision, is currently with a Security Company vault on my name here in London. And, as the Procurement Officers in-charge, I have with me all the relevant documents for urgent claim and transfer of the funds to any company or individual account that will help us invest the funds back in Africa.

I would like to discuss further with you and also would advice on how the transaction can be done since I have perfected all arrangements with the Barclay Bank. A sharing ratio of (70:30) has been put into consideration, where I and my colleagues will share 70% and you will have 30%.
I can assure you 100% that this is a clean transaction because the funds are well secured. I would give more details once I have finalised formalities with you on trust, confidence, mutual understanding and co-operation.

You can contact me in urgently as I hope you will keep my contact with you highly confidential, even after the transaction. Our communication should be strictly by (phone or email). You can enclose your contact details (Private Phone, fax or e-mail) when responding to this urgent business opportunity.

Kindly enclose your contact direct mobile or phone numbers for our mutual communication.

Thanks for your assistance and cooperation.

Yours’ Sincerely,
Capt. Moussa Ibrahimi

Wow alot of things wrong in that starting with the subject "Are you Death or Still Alive? Please Urgent Respond is Needed."

So practically a lose lose situation give them your information, or lose your money due to your death.

If only these guys saw this thread.

Rev.sis Mary Benjamin that is a funny name.
I don't know any 89 year olds who use a computer and use email.
How did he get your email from the internet if you don't post it publicly. Only two ways, one, he randomly typed the email. Or two, he hacked it.

DON'T CLICK E-MAIL LINKS. Please.

There is a rash on spam lately, and hence a rash of calls from friends looking to clean their computers, that LOOK like it is from Amazon, UPS, FEDX, ETC that entice you to over react to the email in an attempt to hack your passwords. In the below image, you can see it proposing shows someone has just bought a $989 watch. The initial reaction is supposed to be "Oh Dammit - I need to cancel that ASAP." So you click the link without thinking and dutifully enter your user name and password.

However, if the user took a second to mouse over the actual link, they would see it wasn't a http://amazon.com address at all, but in this case a PHP on some .org site n the UK. (Crossed off so no one would have the urge to type it.)

Illegal content on YouTube? Beware spammed-out malware attack

Internet users are being warned about a malware attack that has been spammed out widely, posing as a communication from YouTube about copyrighted video content.

The emails, which have the subject line "Your video may have illegal content", pretend to come from Google's YouTube team.

The attached ZIP file, however, contains the Troj/Agent-XXC Trojan horse.

Sophos anti-virus products have been capable of detecting the malware since September 25th - but users of products from other vendors may not be as well protected.

The bottom falls out of Facebook email malware

SophosLabs has intercepted a malware attack that has been spammed out, pretending to be a notification about a Facebook friend's sexy video.Although you may think that as the emails are written in Spanish, they are unlikely to trick many non-speakers to click on the malicious link contained within.

However, an embedded thumbnail of a semi-naked young woman may be enough for many to venture further without thinking of the possible consequences.

Warning: Here are three emails you don't want to see

Here are three emails you don't want to see in your inbox today.

Although the emails may claim to have been sent by the likes of LinkedIn, YouTube and Google the truth is that the headers are forged, and the emails have been specially crafted to look like legitimate communications from online firms.

Clicking on the links could send your computer to Canadian pharmacy-like spam sites offering to sell you Viagra, or even webpages hosting malicious payloads.
