Ah, the good ole credit card from Iran scam
I get LOTS of spam daily.
Most of it is offers for penny stocks, pharmeceuticals, penis enlargers, Viagra and the famous Nigerian Lottery scam.
But this one I got today was new to me.
Well, I’ve always known about schemes, but this email is classic–

Subject: deal for youHi,hello for first. i am Josh from Iran. i want to be direct with you
i have a deal with you,i noticed that you have a merchant account.
The deal will be in this way,i can use spammed credit cards to pay with them in your merchant account.I mention that i have USA cards.
so, you say that you are willing to sell somethnig to me, i will pay using credit cards,you will take the money, and we will make 50-50%.
Is there not any risk for you, because you dont know me,you just sell something,is not your fault.
I hope you understand me, and with hope we can make a deal i will await your email at tom_anderson136@yahoo.com.
Will be a nice profit for both of us! i maked in the past a deal like that with someone else, and we maked 10.000 pounds in just 1 month.10.000 for each of us.
