Con mails

Spam mails from scamsters offering the well-known scheme of parking their funds in the recipient’s account with the promise of quick riches usually came from Nigeria and other political hotspots in the world. Since those had obviously run their course, the new scams are acquiring a more “realistic” hue. The latest one doing the rounds is based on Raj Rajaratnam, proprietor of disgraced hedge fund company Galleon who was recently jailed in the US. In it, his wife purportedly says she wants to transfer funds from Holland to India because her husband has been jailed and this will help her to be safe.
