Scams

War in Iraq holocaust spreads totally all over the world. Undeniably people are aware of the horrible present situation in that country. The clashing troops of Sadam Hussein and the US government has been a scene of terror.

But it just so discomforting that many people, mostly scammers, take advantage of the misfortune of the country-Iraq.I am a search engine specialist and i am very much exposed to the internet.

July 8, 2009, I received an email about the war in Iraq topic. It was an out of nowhere email. At first, I believe in the message because I know the person, - Major Williams Thurmond. He presented as a high ranking official of the troop battling in Iraq. As we have exchange many email messages, he demanded a bank account from me and all my credit cards accounts .Eventually, he told me to give him the password and PIN.

He promised me that my online bank account would be filled with big amount of money they troop found in Iraq .From that moment, I know something is wrong. I had a bad feeling about “our” secret business venture. I know that he is just disguising to be Major Williams Thurmond .I know a little about Major Williams, though I never met him personally. He is a good and credible man. He would never do something like this. Here’s a copy of the email letter that was sent to me by a scammer who pretended to “Major Williams Thurmond “of the US army.
