New twist on the Niger email scam

Just got one from a dude 'in Taiwan' about some Iraqi official depositing $44 Million he needs my help in withdrawing. Just thought it was nice someone at least bothered to update the scam.

But the better of the two is one I just got supposedly from someone in England, Mark Anthony.

I shit you not, Mark Anthony.

This one goes even one more step in updating the story, as it uses Rafik Hariri, the ex Lebanese PM that was assinated a few months ago, and limits the deposit in question to $4 Million dollars. Oops, I mean, $4 Million Pounds Sterling.

The England/Hariri scam is fairly well written, without going so overblown as to be comical like so many of the African related one's were/are. But the kicker, after all the big words and exact Queens English spelling, he signs it as;
Mark Anthony
Unitad Kingdom.

Unitad Kingdom.

Is that over by France somewhere?
