ShortBus Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 this sickens me to think ppl will fall for the email I got today. Dear Friend, Good day and compliments, i know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine my future and continued existence. Please allow me to introduce myself.I am Capt. Ben GoodLuck, a US Marine Capt. serving in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment which Patrols the Anbar province, Iraq. I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you. I am presently in Iraq and I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $10,570,000 (Ten million Five Hundred and Seventy Thousand USD) to the States or any safe country, as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here.This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved. SOURCE OF MONEY: Some money in various currencies was discovered and concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunition at a location near one of Saddam Hussein's old Presidential Palaces during a rescue operation and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us.This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. The above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a German contact working with the UN here(his office enjoys some immunity)I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot.He does not know the real contents of the package as he believes that it belongs to an American who died in an air raid, before giving up trusted me to hand over the package to his close relative. I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for you to pick up. I do not know for how long I will remain here as I have been lucky to have survived two suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention. This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you then Endeavour to contact me and we would work out the necessary formalities but i pray that you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship. Contact me via my private box: [email protected] so that I can furnish you with more details. Respectfully, Capt. Ben GoodLuck United States Marine Corps. IRAQ. Quote
zbishop80 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 What really p@#ses me off about this is that they are perpetrating as being a Service Member. You should forward that message to the military so they can figure out who this d@#che bag is and go after him! Quote
saytagf Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 wait a minute. Ten million is a lot of money, Are you saying you arent gonna do it? Quote
Turbocoop Posted September 9, 2008 Report Posted September 9, 2008 These morons need to think of better names "Ben Goodluck"??? I got one from some guy named Jimmy Dean or something- I think these dumbasses watch TV to get the names they use. And that is terrible that they are trying to use Marines "identities" to commit these scams. I cant believe this crap is still going on at all- does this still actually work? Quote

Tzer Posted September 10, 2008 Report Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) My wife works where there is a Western Union and she says people come in on a regular basis wanting to send money to collect millions on dollars from an inheratence, or to save animals that got lost or strayed on an airline. She askes them if the email said this or that and when they agree to what she basically asked them, she tells them it's a scam and over half insist on sending the money because of all the facts that were emailed to them. We'll Western Union won't even allow the transaction to go through (Which she already knew). So she has to phone WU and let them tell the "Customer" it's a scam. I'm sure some might get through until WU flags it though. (Sad) Most thank her and shake their head at the level people go through to steal their money. She's had some leave mad and then phone the store to see if that transaction went through because they went home, researched it and discovered IT WAS A SCAM. It's a shame things like this happen and people fall for it. Edited September 10, 2008 by Tzer (see edit history) Quote
