The Latest Email Scam
Spam Email | July 15, 2011 | Self

Posted on 07/15/2011 2:25:35 PM PDT by editor-surveyor

Dear Beloved,

My name is Corporal Mary Ann MacCombie(E-4). I am an American soldier with Swiss background,
serving in the military with the army 3rd infantry division. With a very
desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I found
your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your kind
assistance to move the sum of Three million,two hundred thousand united states dollars to you,
as far as  I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here,
this is no stolen money, and there are no danger involved. I am presently in a hospital
recovering from injuries sustained in a suicide bomb attack.

Source of money:

Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrels at a farmhouse near one of Saddam's old palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by staff Sgt Lee Mccoy and I that some part of this money be shared among both of us before informing anybody about it since both of us saw the money first. This was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hell hole.. Of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last week.

Please view website for confirmation;

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 British contact working here and his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to move the money to a security company in Bangkok Thailand as a diplomatic baggage. They are now waiting for us to provide the name of beneficiary who they will transfer the funds to. The reason i want you to claim the funds on my behalf is that as a soldier, I cannot present concrete evidence on how i made such a big amount of money down here. Besides the US Government is trying their best to keep their eyes on soldiers here in order to effect a high level of discipline among us. The moment i am sure that you are willing to assist me; I will give you the information of the security company and the security code of the baggage. I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the assistance you will give to me.

One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please and please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldiers here in Iraq. I do not know how long we will remain here, and i have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace of God, this and other reasons i will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, i honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately, please contact me as soon as possible, my only way of communication is email.

Yours in Service.

Corporal Mary Ann MacCombie (E-4). Camp MXP-512 Third Infantry Division Unit(T.I.D.U), Abul Uruj,bagdad,iraq

Dude, That is nothing...
Look what I just received... I don’t even have to keep it secret!!!

Greetings,

My name is Mark Walker. I work with one of the Oil companies here in China. I have partners all around the World. I recently lost my license to operate in North America due to tax issues. However, I have some partners ready to make payment for products I already supplied them.

This amount runs into hundreds of millions. Can I trust you to receive this fund on my behalf? I am willing to give you 20% of any amount received on my behalf.

Kindly forward your full details so I can arrange for payment to reach you as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Mark.

From a former soldier. If you see the words “corporal”
and “soldier” together that’s a red flag. There are very few corporals in the army. 99% are what we used to call, “private eagle class” or spec 4. Corporal is a Marine Corps rank.

I however did know and had the honor to serve with an acutal US Army Corporal. His Corporal orders were issued and signed by the Secretary of the Army and he was awarded the Soldiers Medal for actions while he was a PFC MP at a parade. A drunk driver was running from the police and ran an MP blockade set up to control access to the parade. The soldier saw the on coming vehicle and remained in the street to clear the street including tossing a child out of the way of the on coming vehicle. He was struck by the car and had to spend 9 months in the hospital repairing his legs and pelvis.

For those that don’t know the difference, a Corporal is considered a non-commissioned officer where a Specalist 4th Class (E-4) is not.

You’re right, there are a few corporals. I was in a combat MOS (Combat Engineer) and I never saw one. Until I made SGT (E-5) I was a glorified private.

Obviously, and that can be said of all of them. You have to be a greedy fool to bite on them.
