New targets need new stories!

Press the Play button if you prefer to hear the report

This morning I received an e-mail from YURIY LAGUTIN. He says he's represeting Mikhail Khodorkovsky, former Boss of Yukos Oil. With a personal brief from the "top Oligarch", he's looking for someone to (I love this phrase) "re-profile" 250 million US Dollars. Oh, and by the way, this is completely legal!

He then goes on to quote various links which he says give truth to what he says. The funny thing is, that the last link is the Mikhail Khodorkovsky Society weblog. I found the following page http://mikhail_khodorkovsky_society.blogspot.com, which explicitly warns against E-Mails coming from so-called Yukos or Bank Menatep officials, as they are typical 419 type scams.

This is a classical example of using a story which is in the press to start a scam. In a tight market if you want to reach new targets, sorry, I mean customers, you need new stories!

Oh, before I forget, has anyone 50 million Dollars which he can "re-profile" me?

The re-profile e-mail:

Dear Sir,

I am YURIY LAGUTIN and I represent Mr. Mikhail Khordokovsky the former C.E.O of Yukos Oil Company in Russia. I have a very sensitive and confidential brief from this top (oligarch) to ask for your partnership in re-profiling funds over US$250 million. I will give the details, but in summary, the funds are coming via Bank Menatep. This is a legitimate transaction. You will be paid 4% for your "management fees".

If you are interested, please write back by email mrlagutin@k.ro and provide me with your confidential telephone number, fax number and email address and I will provide further details and instructions. Please keep this confidential; we can’t afford more political problems. Finally, please note that this must be concluded within two weeks. Please write back promptly. I will also suggest you visit these news sites on the internet to be better informed about this project.
