A Seriously Not Cool Phishing Email

I normally find scam emails amusing — especially the one where Ban Ki-moon wants to give me “scam compensation” in the amount of $500,000 on behalf of the “World Bank/United Nations Assisted [sic] Programme.” But the one I received today is just sick:

Dear Friend,

I know this email will surprise you. Please accept my offer for charity plans. My name is Mrs. Halima Izar. I am a rich Syrian woman of 66 years. I was married to the director of (IZAR SEAFOOD LTD) located in China and Cambodia. I am seriously suffering from the chemical gas attack that affected us in August in Damascus. My entire families died by that attack. My condition is hopeless to survive. Nobody to call for help. I am using my doctor’s android phone to send you this email. I want you to take over my funds in Cambodia for charity plans and humanitarian aid for Syrian refugees, and motherless, less privileged, widows in your country. I pray Allah to help us. I have $10,800.000.00 in my Bank. I will offer you 12% for your commitment. My lawyer in Cambodia will direct and arrange the release of the funds to you. I have informed him of my intension to appoint you receive this funds. His contact is below:

May God Bless You.

Mrs Halima

Using chemical-weapons attacks in Syria to try to cheat naive people out of their money is revolting. I hope God does something to “Mrs Halima” other than bless her.
