			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Phil,</p>
<p>Thank you for sharing us your experience. The IP Address is African and probably Nigerian. I strongly recommend you to report this to abuse@hotmail.com so that they could close your account to prevent the Nigerian spammer to contact your friends.</p>
<p>I am sure you already have but if not, if you have another address book that contains your contacts on your Hotmail and Facebook account that were hacked, it would be really great if you could notify all of them about this and tell them to disregard the mails and that everything is not true for your accounts were hacked and if they could possibly give their time of day, to mark or report them as spam or as a hacker.</p>
<p>On Facebook, it would need more than one person to report a Facebook account to be hacked and for them to take action.<br />
I hope this helps you Phil and I hope everything works out.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
Webmaster</p>

<p>Subject: Sgt Garcia Simpson [larrykings@blumail.org]</p>
<p>Body:</p>
<p>Hello Friend, I hope my e-mail meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My names are Sgt Garcia Simpson of the Engineering Unit of US Military here in Ba&#8217;qubah in Iraq; we have about $10 Million that we want to move out of the country. This money was found in boxes some time ago during our routine raid around the base. My partner and I need a good partner out there, someone we can trust to receive the funds on our behalf. It is oil money and legal. The most important thing is; &#8220;Can We Trust you&#8221;? Once the funds get to you, simply take out 20% as your share and keep the remaining 80% for us. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to, ours is sending it to you safely.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Also you can view this Link for proper verification <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm">http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm</a> If you are interested I will furnish you with more details upon receipt of your response and contact details. But I can assure you the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times. I look forward to your reply and co-operation.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We have kept this money for so long but right now President Obama said he is pulling us out from Iraq so I must have this cash out immediately.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Sgt Garcia Simpson.</p>

<p><em>Thanks and awaiting your reply,</em></p>
<p><em>Kurt Aldridge.</em></p>
<p>Did you see the space in front of New York? That looks like a copy and paste work to me or just an automated script sending something back. We then asked him to order something small from us first to confirm his ID and Name but he never got back after that. We do not know really, what he tried to defraud here maybe he wanted us to send flowers to his country in the Middle East and sending us a fake payment or something and selling the flowers to someone. This is clearly some sort of Nigerian scam but not sure what they wanted.</p>
