I received this message through the YOUNG family web-site and want to warn others about it so you can block it from your mailings. As you can tell it does not pertain to genealogy and is a hoax, but I am afraid some elderly person might send this nut money. Sharon Jebavy Young is the YOUNG'S page owner and she was glad this was brought to her attention & now it can be blocked. I know this is off the path of genealogy but I would rather not see this type of e-mail sent to me. I guess this guy is hitting on all the genealogy web sites, so beware and get ready to hit the delete button. Plus some of the lettering at the end of his message is strange to me which makes me uncomfortable.

This I guarantee is a scam & has no place on the genealogy web site of the YOUNG family?

I am from northern Swaziland, presently working in Iraq with an international organisation that I will disclose to you later, I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of (Sixteen million, five hundred thousand dollars) to your country or any other safe country of your choice, in as much as you can give me a guarantee that my own share will be safe in your care untill I complete my service here,this is no stolen money, and there are no dangers involved. SOURCE OF MONEY: Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunitions at a location near one of Saddam,s old palaces during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us, this was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? no compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a German contact, I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. I have now found a secured way of getting the package out to Europe for you to pick up, and will discuss this with you when I am sure of your sincerity in this, One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with a third party, incase you have reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this mail as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us. I do not know for how long we will remain here, and I have survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately.
