A Lebanese Request To Liberate 24 Million US Dollars
I was wondering why the 419ers hadn’t yet jumped on the latest news-worthy disaster; this being the ongoing conflict between Israel and Lebanon, or more specifically the Israeli army and Hezbollah. As usual many innocent people (on both sides) are getting injured, maimed or killed.
Those carrying out these attacks just see this as ‘collateral damage‘ and part of war, I see it for what it is, a lowering of the value of human life; everyone is expendable and a commodity in the eyes of those carrying out these acts.
Anyway, back to the 419 angle. Late last night I received the following e-mail [screenshot below]:

It is the usual stuff. “I have lots of money stuck somewhere, help me out and some of it is yours“, of course there is no money, it is a scam which in this case is playing on the real suffering of real people, the boys and girls from Lagos should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves!
If you don’t understand how these scams work, then I’d suggest you take a look at the following links:
