Hosny Mubarak ran a police state. He put thousands of people in prisons because they did not agree with him. Some people died at the hands of the Egyptian police while in prison.
Early this year, there were big demonstrations in many cities in Egypt because people did not want Mubarak to stay as president. They were not happy with the way Mubarak ruled the country. Millions of people in Egypt now live on under a dollar a day while there are others who are super rich. Millions of people in Egypt find it very hard to get jobs. Mubarak did not care about his people.
Many Egyptians believe Mubarak was America’s man. Mubarak and his family had 70 billion dollars. Mubarak had hundreds of millions of dollars in banks in Switzerland. The government of Switzerland does not want to send the money back to Egypt.
After Mubarak was forced to step down as president, he didn’t go to prison. He went to a 5-star sea resort on the Red Sea and stayed there. He has thousands of policemen protecting him. People in Egypt are angry because Mubarak’s men – the army - now rule the country.
Not long after Mubarak lost power in Egypt, I got an email from someone I didn’t know. I would like to share the email with you so you be careful. In the email, the woman said she was Hosny Mubarak’s wife. She said her husband was president of Egypt. The family had a lot of money outside Egypt and they wanted my help to invest some of that money.
The woman said in her email that she would transfer 10 million dollars of that money to my bank account if I agreed to help her. After some time, her son will come to me and we can work together. The woman said that nobody knew about that money. She wanted me to email her back to say if I was interested in doing business with her or not.
Now what do you think about that email? Shall I send her an email saying that I am happy to accept her money? Shall I say that I will help her transfer the money to my bank account? If I do so, I will be a fool. The email from that woman is a scam. She is trying to get money from me and not give me money. If I send her my bank account number, she will send me an email asking me to send her a few thousand dollars to help her transfer the money to my bank account. After some time, she will send me another email saying that she needs more money. After that I will get no emails from her and find out that I have been scammed.
I am sure that email was sent to tens of thousands of people in different parts of the world. Maybe someone will reply and say that he or she wants to get the 10 million dollars. Not long after that, he or she will find out that they have been scammed.
