Now , the 419ers are using US Military. BAD SCAM!!!
Hello Pal,

I hope my email meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My
name is Sgt. Morgan Reeves Jr. I am a military attache with the
Engineering unit here in Ba'qubah Iraq for the united state, we have
about $25 Million dollars that we want to move out of the country.

My partners and I need a good partner someone we can trust to
actualize this venture.The money is from oil proceeds and legal.But we are moving it through diplomatic means to your house directly or a safe and secured location of your choice using diplomatic courier
services.

But can we trust you? Once the funds get to you, you take your 40% out and keep our own 60%. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to. Our own part is sending it to you.

If you are interested reply to sgt.morganreeves@yahoo.com.cn

I will furnish you with more details.

Awaiting your urgent response.

Your Buddy.
Sgt. Morgan Reeves .

1. I got one of those several weeks ago and posted it in here...
It's sickening isn't it? It also makes the supposed "soldier" look like a thief, in my eyes..

Work to shut these bastards down!

2. One way is by exposing them like here on DU to make people
aware of their existence!

3. I got one of these last year in my AKO account
I just about went batshit crazy.

I sent a copy to army CID to see about possible prosecution.

5. Obvious fake
Stolen oil money is moved out of Iraq through Halliburton, not soldiers, silly.

7. Yep - stupid people are the biggest problem in the US...

... Possibly the only competition would be the stupid-apologists who say idiotic things like "they're not really stupid, they just (insert fucking dumbass excuse here)"


EDIT: Fucking framework doesn't allow fucking braces.

8. Yes, that is a problem.
But my snark is for internal use only.

Actually, I'm just seconds away from having read and commented on a thread by Rabrrrr in the Lounge, about the trouble and limits that those without strong reading or grammatical skills. And it applies here quite well. The logic, the syntax, the basic spelling errors -- they SHOULD point out the obvious fakery in these scams... and they do that for a vast majority of people.

But there are people who will be fooled, will be scammed, and do not see how a multimillion-dollar financial opportunity is being presented by someone with hampered language skills and questionable strategy.

11. The scam in this one appears to be the use of 'Diplomatic
Courier Service' - This is where the pigeon will be asked to send his/her money for the cost of the service.

Those stupid sheeple will fall for it and, eventually, they will all be asking for food stamps.

13. Yep, basic 419 scam
I found this site after getting a few of those emails: http://www.419eater.com/html/letters.htm

They screw around with these guys and waste a bunch of their time and money and post the results online. They actually got one gang of scammers to act out the entire Pet Shop(Dead Parrot)sketch from Monty Python on video in hopes of landing an acting job in the UK. ;)
