The U.S. Military Scam???

Hey readers! I normally don't post twice a day on my blog, but this is something that I figured everyone should read, as it's the latest type of email scam I've seen.

This email showed up in my personal inbox this morning, and it's truly pathetic. I've seen email scams from 'dying political figures', 'sick millionaires', fake death threats extorting people for money, and so much other crap...but this takes the cake.

Why don't people just go out and GET A JOB?!

Well, here's the email if you wanna read it. You might get one soon from the next scammer trying to get rich quick:

____________________________________

Dear,

My name is Sgt James Urban, I am an American soldier, I am serving in the military of the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regimient, Patrols Tal Afar, in Iraq. I apologized using this medium to reach you for a deal of this magnitude.

We managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussein’s family. The total amount is US$25 Million dollars in cash, mostly 100 dollar bills. We want to move this money to you, so that you may invest it for us and keep our share for banking. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction, your share of the sum will be 30% of the US$25 million, 60% for us and 10% will be kept aside for expenses and rest assure that this business is 100% safe on your part provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.

Basically since we are working for the American Government, we cannot keep these funds, We plan on using diplomatic courier by shipping the money out to you by using diplomatic immunity. No strings attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, for Iraq is a war zone. You will only help the diplomat to get the yellow tag paper as soon as they arrive in your airport, they will have to call you to notify you that they have arrive for you to arrange with them on geting the tag so that the custom and immigration will not inspect the consignment.

If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/address for quick communication for the delivery. This business is risk free. The box can be shipped out in 48hrs.

Please observe utmost confidentiality, and be rest assured that this business is risk free.

Respectfully submitted
Sgt. James Urban.

That should give you a good laugh, if not a realistic way of making money online with a PC.


Be safe,

Hey Nice response to that letter. I haven't gotten that one yet, but apparently I've won the lottery Numerous times for multiple countries such as Ireland, England, Nigeria (which I don't think even has enough money FOR a lottery) and some German country that I can't pronounce (and I'm German...).

Funny post though...
