FRAUD ALERT

23 September 2008, 4:43 PM

I know it isn’t really funny, but Barry Ritholtz over at The Big Picture says that trading desks are getting an email today containing a REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.

I AM MINISTRY OF THE TREASURY OF THE REPUBLIC OF AMERICA. MY COUNTRY HAS HAD CRISIS THAT HAS CAUSED THE NEED FOR LARGE TRANSFER OF FUNDS OF 800 BILLION DOLLARS US. IF YOU WOULD ASSIST ME IN THIS TRANSFER, IT WOULD BE MOST PROFITABLE TO YOU.

If you receive any communications from a person calling himself Secretary of the Treasury or Henry Paulson, contact the national fraud center immediately.
