419 Scam – Iraq scams
The events in Iraq serve as a background for a variety of scams, from former mistresses of Saddam Hussein's sons to millions supposedly found and stashed by members of the US armed forces. But the basic storyline is the same: You can make a lot of money quickly for doing almost nothing. If you seriously believe this, don't be surprized when the crooks soon start asking for money. Here are several examples of emails that bear marks of the "419" advance fee fraud that are connected to Iraq.

"Captain Kelly White, British Army in Iraq"
From: <kwhit_60@zipmail.com.br> Sent: Thursday, 03 March, 2005 18:15 Subject: IN DESPERATE NEED OF YOUR CO-OPERATION! Kelly White, Please,copy reply to both of the following email addresses: whitkel2@netscape.net,kwhity@37.com Dear Sir, IN DESPERATE NEED OF YOUR CO-OPERATION! I write you this letter to solicit your help from Prison, as I am in dire need. I am Kelly White, a Captain in The British Army deployed to help facilitate the forceful change of the Sadam HUSSEIN Regime in Iraq. I have been serving in Iraq sincethe beginning of the war. I was previously attached to a British Military Base in Germany before my deployment to Iraq. I do hope you are not confused and distracted by the fact that a strange person is writting you in confidence. In the course of my stay in Iraq,I have withnessed so much looting from which many colleagues have benefited (in excess of some Billions of Dollars)and we have also benefit from. I decided that I cannot afford to be left out of this great opportunity to become a success, after a long hesitation. This money is a part of the money that the regime of Sadam Hussein,their friends and cronies had stolen and hidden in various parts of Iraq before the war.It was now the responsibility of the U.S and British soldiers to search for,recover this money and plough back into the governance of Iraq. In the proccess,we were able to keep some away for ourselves. Thats how the money came about. Everything went well until I was accused arrested in 2004 alongside other colleagues suspected to have abused inmates of prisons under the control of Allied Forces in Iraq. I initially thought that my stay in prison awaiting trial would be brief but I have spent some months here without any change in my hopeless situation! Now that I dont know how long I would stay here,and faced with the possibility of dismissal from the Army if I am found guilty,I have come to reason that it is only proper to try and make some kind of reliable contact who could help me pick up and safe-keep this money so that I dont lose everything I have saved during my stay in Iraq.Who knows;such an opportunity,they say, comes once in a lifetime! My friends who did it before advised me that I just needed a contact(any contact) outside Iraq to assure me that he could handle such an amount of money,after which I would order it to be sent through for safe-keeping. I have (hidden safely in Iraq) presently,the sum of US$21.7m. I only need you,Sir,to guarantie me that I can still get this money back,if it is remitted to you. I only need a person I can trust to safeguard this money since it is not possible to leave here and do it myself. All the arragerment to transfer it to you has been made by me before my arrest.Your only part is to receive and safeguard it. We would further discuss on how the money should be disbursed afterwards. For your role in this business,I wish to compensate you handsomely on successful conclussion of this assignment.I must only not forget to tell you that secrecy and confidentiality in this business is very important to both parties. It could put us in serious danger and even compound my already complex problem, if this information is leaked to a third party!It is therefore a matter of great importance to keep this secret strictly between us even after the successful conclussion of this transaction. I did not include my phone contact because any other contact is for the military prison and therefore,tapped.This e-mail is the only private contact I have here.I implore you to consider this proposal as urgently as possible and give me a feedback. If you are in favour of my proposal,please,do include your PRIVATE contact information - phone,fax,e-mail to facilitate a more effective and confidential communication. I implore you to ponder over this proposal as urgently as possible and get back to me. Do not forget to pray fervently for my acquitance.I wish you the best as I await your reply.

"Li Le Song (Hong Kong), banker for Colonel Sadiq Uday" Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2005 11:27:32 -0600 From: lilesong2001 <lilesong40@yahoo.com> To: emailaddress Subject: Contact Me FROM:MR.LI LE SONG Hang Seng Bank Ltd Fu Shan Mansion 25 Taikoo Shing Road Taikoo Shing Branch Hong Kong. (lilesong75@yahoo.com). I am Mr. Li Le Song credit officer of the Foriegn operations dept of the Hang Seng Bank Ltd,Taikoo Shing Branch.I have a obscured business suggestion for you.Before the U.S and Iraqi war our client Colonel sadiq Uday who was with the Iraqi forces and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 18 calendar months, with a value of Nineteen millions Five Hundred Thousand United state Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even during the war early last year. Again after the war another notification was sent and still no response came from him. We later find out that the colonel and his family had been killed during the war in bomb blast that hit their home.After further investigation it was also discovered that Colonel Sadiq Uday did not declare any next of kin in his,official papers including the paper work of his bank deposit. And he also confided in me the last time he was at my office that no one except me knew of his deposit in my ! bank. So, Nineteen millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars is still lying in my bank and no one will ever come forward to claim it. What bothers me most is that according to the laws of my country at the expiration 4 years the funds will revert to the ownership of the Hong Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the funds. Against this backdrop, my suggestion to you is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Colonel Sadiq Uday so that you will be able to receive his funds. WHAT IS TO BE DONE: I want you to know that I have had everything planned out so that we shall come out successful. I have contacted an attorney that will prepare the necessary document that will back you up as the next of kin to Colonel Sadiq Uday,all that is required from you at this stage is for you to provide me with your Full Names and Address so that the attorney can commence his job. After you have been made the next of kin, the attorney will also fill in for claims on your behalf and secure the necessary approval and letter of probate in your favor for the move of the funds to an account that will be provided by you.There is no risk involved at all in the matter as we are going to adopt a legalized method and the attorney will prepare all the necessary documents.Please endeavor to observe utmost discretion in all matters concerning this issue.Once the funds have been transferred to your nominated bank account the sharing ratio is open for negotiation for you . Should you be interested please send me your full names and current residential address and I will prefers you to reach me on the email address below (lilesong75@yahoo.com) and finally after that i shall provide you with more details of this operation.Your earliest response to this letter will be appreciated. Kind Regards, Mr.Li Le Song. ___________________________________________________________________________ Mail sent from WebMail service at PHP-Nuke Powered Site - http://yoursite.com From: "ALI" <ali2003@universiabrasil.net> To: <undisclosed-recipients:> Sent: Friday, March 11, 2005 1:53 AM Subject: From;Ali Ibrahim Dear Sir, With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I am from (will disclose this later), presently working in Iraq with an international organisation that I will also disclose later, I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of (US$8.523 Million Dollars) Eight Million five Hundred Thousand And Twenty Three Dollars to your country or any other safe country of your choice, as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care untill I complete my service here,this is no stolen money, and there are no dangers involved. SOURCE OF MONEY: Some money in various currencies was discovered concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunitions at a location near one of Saddam,s old palaces during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us, this was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? no compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a German contact working here, and his office enjoys some immunity, I was able to get the package out to a safe cation entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package, and believes that it belongs to an Asian/American who died in an air raid, and before giving up, trusted me to hand over the package to his business associate. I have now found a secured way of getting the package out to a safer country for you to pick up, and will discuss this with you when I am sure that you are willing to assist me. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with a third party, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this mail as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us. I do not know for how long we will remain here, and I have survived 2 suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately. Please contact me as soon as possible. Regards, Ali Ibrahim --------------------------------------------------------------- Universia Brasil. Em todas as fases da vida acad�mica.

I have some personal thing that I want to discuss with you which requires a matured mind, good understanding and a good sense of judgment. About three weeks ago, I met this helpless and peaceful lady by the name of Nada Dalal Nayif in Baghdad; she is a widow with 5 children. She narrated her ordeal and the suffering she and her children had been going through.Nada Dahal told me that her husband was killed by Sadam Hussein's son Qusay some months long before USA came to save Iraq from the hands of the dictators. Her late husband was from the generation of Nayif-Da'ud group who were taken out of power by Saddam Hussein the mid 60s. Her husband became one of Sadam Hussein�s business friends after many years later. Just before her husband was murdered, saddam had given her husband some huge amount of money,($97 million dollars ) as part of the money which saddam wanted him to use in procuring arms, ammunitions and other ballistic materials for sophisticated war weapons. Nada revealed to me that her husband did not support saddam's motives and decided not to get involved in the purchase of these weapons, so he decided to bury the money underground. it was her husband's refusal to cooperate with saddam's evil plans of war that led them to murder him in cold blood. During the war Iraq, she struggled to move the money along with the help of her children and headed towards the borders; they did well to dress and package the money in a way that nobody will ever know. Nada has confidently revealed the where about of the money to me. She wants to finally leave Iraq for good since there is no peace here, they live in fear and trepidation because some of saddam's loyalists and insurgents who are still in hidding are still creating havoc and hunting people such as the Nayif's family. The helpless woman needs our assistance to relocate with her children, to a peaceful country where she says they can change there religion and live without fear. I have contacted you because I need someone to assist me receive and keep this money while I plot their migration. I am just an ordinary soldier and I have will be court martial led if I ever handled such huge kind of money, I must confess that I do not know how to secure the money in term of investment. I have contacted you because I cannot directly move this money out of here and into my country and I am completely handicap due to my regimented life as a soldier, moreover most of us are being screened from time to time because of past incidents of soldier and marines who have been caught and court martial led for raiding and stealing Gold and other expensive jewelries from Saddam's palaces. I am working on how to move this money out of the country to a peaceful place where it will be in safe hands and I have done a perfect homework on this arrangement. I contacted you because I can not move this money directly into my country because of our involvement in the war and the constant checks on us during entry into our country. But with my position here, I have made perfect plans to move the money out of Iraq to Europe through one of United Nations cargo operations unit that constantly moves in and out of Iraq. I will need you to help me receive and keep this money and if possible assist me help Nada and her children prepare a safe home, although you are not obliged to do so as i am personally making serious alternative plans to move her family out of Iraq on my own. So i need to know if we can work this out as she is willing to compensate your richly for your help and this too affords me a lifetime opportunity. I would plead and advice that you keep all facts concerning this discussion between you and I alone considering my own involvement here in Iraq.

This is simple, I will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the attorney will prepare the necessary documents that will put you in place as the next of kin. We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting and notarization of the WILL and to obtain the necessary documents and letter in your favor for the transfer.
