Marketplace Wrapup: Kai Ryssal on Henry Paulson Email Scam
Posted by Jeff
Just to show you that somebody's got a sense of humor about the crisis on Wall Street. . . . There's an e-mail making the rounds. Maybe you've seen it. Starts like this: "Dear American, I need to ask you to support an urgent secret business relationship with a transfer of funds of great magnitude." If you're thinking it's one of those Nigerian scams, read on. "I am Ministry of the Treasury of the Republic of America. My country has a crisis that has caused the need for large tranfer of funds. . ." and so on. Signed, of course, Henry Paulson. If you're interested, just go ahead and send your account information. There's an e-mail address we can get you.
