I received an e-mail today that, on first appearance, looked like just another spam mail offering to deposit millions of dollars into my bank account. However, this one is a little bit different. The sender claims to be an ex US Army Major and to help convince me of the seriousness of his desire to give me something, he links to an April 2003 article on BBC News. The article reports on massive amounts of cash found by US troops in Baghdad.
Hey, I’m convinced, count me in.
Here’s a copy of the e-mail with the link to the article. Please don’t trample me in the rush.
