Nigerian Oil Spam Meets "Three Kings"
FREAKONOMICS BLOG
By Stephen J. Dubner on General

My spam filter is so good that I barely ever get to see all the Nigerian oil-scam spams any more. But this one poked its way through today:

"My name is Sgt Kenny Baker, Jr. I am in the Engineering military unit here in Ba'qubah in Iraq, we have about $10, Million US dollars that we want to move out of the country. My partners and I need a good partner someone we can trust. It is oil money and legal.

We are moving it through diplomatic means, to send it to your house directly or a bank of your choice using diplomatic courier service.The most important thing is that can we trust you?. Once the funds get to you, you take your 15% out and keep our own 85%.

Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to. Our own part is sending it to you. If you are interested I will furnish you with more details. But the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times.I look forward to your reply and co-operation,

You can reach me via email: [redacted yahoo.co.uk e-mail address]

Waiting for your urgent response."
