Irish 419 scam
I suppose it was inevitable that 419 scams would eventually start using Ireland as a source for their scams:
Dear Friend, I am a freelance, independent investment broker based here in Britain. Due to my privileged background, I have been consulted by an erstwhile top-ranking member of a frontline liberation movement in Ireland, whose organization had engaged the english government in a protracted civil war since 1975. My client now wishes to channel $35 Million USD into productive ventures instead of war.He looks to make this investment discreetly under discretionary asset management arrangement.I have contacted you on the consideration that I could discuss with you on the possibility of my client placing this fund with you for management either in your existing establishment or other venture to be undertaken at your discretion under terms to be agreed upon. He prefers that this investment be made in your country. I would be expecting your response in order that we may discuss further in detail. As it is not safe to communicate with you via phone or fax for now, please write through my email address so that we may work out modalities.So basically he wants to get rid of 35 million dollars held by an Irish "liberation" group. How original!
