Warning! Spam from Sadams daughter.

Well, I’m sure we’ve all seen them in our inbox. Those unsolicited emails supposedly from a relative of some deposed African despot or phony trading company in the Middle East. Or perhaps its some other third world thief is making offers to give you (and other suckers like you) a generous sum of money if you help them move some their assets.

Well this has to be the best one yet. Late last night I got a similar email from someone pretending to be Jume Hasana Hussein the daughter of Sadam Hussein. I hope you get as much of a laugh out of it as I did.

I know this has to be a joke becase whoever it is is just looking to get blistering emails from folks who might think this is for real.

Dear friend,

Please I need urgent assistance and advice. My name is Jume Hasana Hussein. I am daughter of Sadam Hussein, former ruler of Iraq Islamic Republic now in captivity. I was a student of Environmetal Microbiology at Islamic University Al-Athmia before the United Nations weapons inspectors arrived Iraq and subsequent outbreak of hostilities between my father and the Coalition forces. Eventually, my father was arrested at Ad-Dawr, Tikrit on the 13th day of december 2003.

All my father's known assets have been confiscated by the united nation's coalition group as illegally acquired at the expense of our country. Three of my brothers where tortured to death by the US soldiers for withholding information of my father's whereabout. Other members of our family have fled our country for fear of persecution. I am presently broke and trapped in a hidden location in our country pending when I secure help from a good samaritan who will assist me to claim a sum of US$30million which my father deposited in my name in a secured vault in Victoria Island in 1995 during my twenty first birthday out of foresight should we his children ever find ourselves in this kind of situation. j-raven@123.com

Most importantly, apart from helping me claim this funds into your custody
you will also help me relocate from iraq, to a place where I will conclude
my studies with relative peace of mind. For your
assistance I am willing to offer you a generous compensation, if you
help me.

Send your response to my secure email address: j-raven@123.com to enable me further this relationship.

sincerely
Ms. J. Hasana Hussein
 
https://www.ebolamonkeyman.com warning: some of the language on that site is explicit, but some of the email transactions are actually interesting when you realize the scammer is about as dumb as some of their victims...

A friend of mine got a constant stream of letters from one "MacDavid Powell" so I looked it up and came across MacDavid and Winston Rothschild (from the "Red Green Show") on the EMM site:

Explore it - there's someone on the other end of those emails, and they do get money from suckers all the time. The FBI has people devoted to these "419" scams. Sad really - one couple locally sent just about every penny they had to these scammers, convinced to this day that it was a good cause and investment.
