Metascam!

My husband gets the best Nigerian scam emails.

They've gotten really creative recently. Earlier this year, he received one from an Army Captain in Iraq. To summarize: while looting a palace, the Captain and his merry crew had discovered three crates: one full of cocaine, another containing a tactical nuke, the third full of cash. Of course they needed my husband's help to get all of this out of Iraq. More specifically, his bank account number. I wish I still had that email.

He just got one that takes the scam to whole 'nother level. It's a metascam. Wow!
