Le truffe online ora si buttano su Berlusconi

A segnalarlo è Paolo Valdemarin sul suo blog, che scrive: “All’inizio era la Nigeria, poi si sono uniti tutti gli ex dittatori africani. Poi si sono aggiunti cinesi e mediorientali. Chi di noi non riceve almeno una spammata al giorno che ci promette una bella fetta di un capitale da nascondere? L’importante è trovare un qualche potente che verosimilmente ha dei soldi da riciclare”.

Si tratta nientemeno che dell’ultima versione di quelle bufalotruffe nigeriane che impazzano da ben prima dell’avvento di Internet e che trovano nello spam continua fonte di sostentamento. Il trucco è il solito: far credere allo sventurato di turno che ci sia un capitale da spartire, per ottenere il quale ci sarà però qualcosa da spendere.

Ma ecco di seguito il testo rigorosamente in inglese e il “singolare” mittente, tirato in ballo suo malgrado dai truffatori professionisti che hanno redatto l’email:
