[scam] Weird email received -Spamming?

Click for full size
Weird pic
Anyone seen this before?

I got this on my Yahoo mail addy. I have removed the other addresses listed and my own but left the from addy and the IP's as they arent mine. It's only has a string of weird words in the subject line and has jpeg attachment of a weird picture. There were about 50 addresses in the To field with a majority of them to bbc.uk.co addy's, second in number to yahoo.com and a few comcast.net addy's. The picture attachment was titled zabane_tasavir2.jpg. All scans come up clean with KAV, and MSAS, Spybot, and Adaware showing no flags on the file. Anyone have any ideas?

It looks like some type of islamic fundamentalist propaganda, send it to various federal agencies.

Most definitely. Is that a cut-out of the face (middle, right) of the Statue of Liberty? Almost looks like the Twin Towers are in there, as well...and many caricatures of our President.

*shudders* That thing is creepin' me out.

I did go online to the FBI tips and leads submission link and submitted the information on it. I doubt I'll hear anything back but it bothered me that much too. Very weird and very creepy. Checking on google for the subject line comes up with one or two hits for a ripecast link and another Arabic type thing.

I've seen alot of weird emails but nothing like that.

Glad you submitted it. I had to stop looking at that picture. The longer I looked at it, the more I saw - which made the bad vibes stronger by the second.

This may or may not be valid, however it appears that you did not receive the text for the email. That picture has been circulated supposedly by a group of Iranian dissidents. They are complaining about the brutality of the Iranian government and asking for help. Here is the English version of the text that is usually included:

Subject: (( Yeganeh nejat dahandeye mellate iran AghA Pro. Dr. Ebrahim
Mirzaie raahbar ))
Reply-To: rahehedayat@ljah.com
X-Originating-Ip: [85.185.50.5]

Dear Madams and Sirs we, who are sending this informations for you, are a group of iranian so called dissidents. Our nation is being oppressed, tortured and murdered by a cruel regime of mollahs, which contempts human beings and destroys our lifes and the time of our life. Day by day they trample on our human rights, gives us disinformations or don´t give us informations at all. The ways which we have for getting informations or to spread them like internet becomes reduced constantly. More than one hundred persons of our organization ALAME HAGH VA EDALAT (The Banner of Right an Justice) were imprisoned and tortured. Even those who released or are outside of prison are persecuted by the cruel regime of the mollahs. Many of the members of ALAME HAGH VA EDALAT are refugees inside their own country. Because we don´t let take us in a special tendency of politics, religion or idelogy, but working for a world of life in dignity out of those outdated ideas and limits we are until now not supported from anybody. Because of our situation we couldn´t translate our informations into another language. For more informations please contact this e-mail adress: daftar11@yahoo.com.


Both this copy and the one listed in your copy(85.185.50.243)do show originating from an IP in Iran.

The email address in the text daftar11@yahoo.com, and is also listed in the lower left of the Pic. I assume the picture is a collage describing the treatment they are subjected by the Mollahs. A search of the email yields further postings who claims to be in Iran also.:
»www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=da···ahoo.com

I did not go so far as to look for a babelfish Farsi (sp)translation, however, one English post is interesting:
»www.radicalparty.org/iran/index.···&catid=1

Again, I don't know how valid this is, but it may explain the context of the Pic.

Thanks MGD for digging into this I appreciate it and it does shed some light, nothing from the feds, but again didnt expect anything from them. I'll post something if I do hear from them.
