You were buying a product off the net, and the product was being sold in Iraq/Iran?
Sorry, confused. One never knows where the funds are actually going, and what for.

![]() If nothing else, you'll demonstrate your willingness to speak to someone, and that can't hurt. If they do show an interest, give them the link to this threat too. It'll substantiate your confusion. Now that I've got this far, and thought about it some more, yep, I'd make a call to your local FBI office. Trust me, they aren't the bogey-men. May be nothing, but ya never know.

ok i called the FBI told them the whole story and they said it sounds like some kind of scam asked him if he wanted copies of everything i had and he said no? I am going to bank to see if Iraq money is real? Maybe if i went on other Iraq websites they could get into my computer or something i don't get it?

I do to. They have a 'protection ' plan.
Gotta admit, buying a light bulb, and winding up involved with Iraq, Iran and Kuwait involved, is a story for your personal history book. Bee-zarre.. fur sure. ![]()

There was a stupid scheme awhile back trying to get people to invest in Dinars, saying that when the war was over, their value would soar and the people who bought them now would be rich..
Yeah, right.

Iraq is not Kuwaiti. Their money exchange rate is not the same. I would bet the Iraq money is worth a few cent's. I think this is just a scam.
