Have a fun read, I've pasted below a laughable and quite obvious SCAM email, pasting it cause it is a new type, different plot as apposed to the lottery scam and the inheritance scam.
PS any idea where the +944 phone number is for ??

Our Company deals on constumes such as Diamond, Precious Stones. We have been purchesing the product from Dubai UAE,but it is very scarce now and we got an information that somebody has it in your country (Saudi-Arabia). When we call the owner of the product he will be answering us in his language: TATAMALEKU TATAMALEKU and we dont understand what it means.This is why we want a reliable company or person who speaks arabic that can link us to the man.
The phone number of the man is7040. and his name is MR.Abdallah Al mohammed. We want you to call the man and confirm if he has the products, the name of the products and their prizes, it is of different types because the one we
want is (CRYSTAL QUARTZ AND GANNET)

Assist us to know if the man has up to 5 kilos and for each One gramm that we are purchesing we are adding 10% for your assistance please immediately you confirm, call us back with this number: 009447040109060 So as to enable us arrange for the white man that will come with cash.
