Dinar For Two

I guess I'm slow on the uptake, but only recently have I heard of the vastly lucrative and hot investment opportunities afforded by purchasing Iraqi Dinar currency, which has a value of around $.0007. The sales pitch is, when the Iraq economy rebounds, the Dinar will skyrocket to 100s or 1000s of times its current value, making millionaires out of all of those who ever-so-wisely bought $1000.00 worth. And hey, it's backed up by all that Iraqi oil!

Uh-huh.

Or, you could just send your money to Spindizzy. Weirder things have happened.
