Syrian Scam

I’ve laughed

I was reading through my mail^Wspam today and, I found one that did two things in my mind. First I wad disgusted because, you know, people will exploit everything.

But then, after reeading it again and again, I found the fact of me receiving this particular scam, was quite ironic. And, in the end, it’s more than plausible that what’s happening in this mail is true, syrian officials trying to hide their money.

So, here is the full mail, with headers.

As you probably know, there is a lot of crisis going on currently in Syria and my brother in-law is having problems with the ruling party and they are currently investigating his ministry.
