    Reads like it was put together by a couple of 10-year-old schoolboys at playtime.

    Simple steps to deal with this

    1) Open a 'hot mail' account.
    2) Reply as Ayman al-Zawahiri.
    3) Add some al-Qaeda graphics.
    4) Thank him for the deal but you would rather have 100% of the money he stole from you.
    5) Mention the Mujahedeen will be in contact shortly.
    6) Sit back and wait for the NSA to arrive on your doorstep.

    Do something about it, Bob






    You can report scams to the ACCC via the SCAMwatch report a scam page or by calling 1300 795 995.
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    The "Hello Friend" is a dead giveaway. Why would anybody fall for something like that, it is blatantly obvious that it is a scam.

    The old adage still applies: If it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly will be.

    I think it is totally believable that a trunk could contain US$12bn. And with 20 trunks in total, that's a total of US$240bn!

    Given that there is only approximately US$400bn in circulation outside of the US, old Osama did well to corner that much cash!

    Well.... Ya had me double and triple counting the zeros and I can only see $12M per box, not $12 BN. Which makes it completely plausible now!
