Kabul stories
Here’s a bit more of a taste of what you might encounter if you were to peek behind the curtain of an e-mail scammer — this one with alleged Afghanistan roots:

Crudele: The amount somehow later turned into $21 million without explanation. Bloomberg said the money was recovered from raids on Taliban camps. He said the box of dough had been deposited with the Red Cross Office in Kabul, and was in diplomatic luggage.
Capt. George: i’m offering you 30% of the fund for your help.
Crudele: I need 40%
Capt. George: Ok 40%. please send the following details for the shipment. Name, Address and telephone number. Regards Capt. George
