Scam-a-Rama... This One's The Best Yet!

Posted on 03/21/2007 6:42:34 PM PDT by blu

Got this email, supposedly from our military. Seems they want me to help them convert some of Al-Zarqawi 's ill-gotten gains. Funny, this Captain's use of English is rather odd..... You all have fun with the email, y'hear? LOL!

Capt.Brian Freeman captbfreeman@strompost.net 1st Armored Division Iraq

Dear Odom,

We are American soldiers fighting in Iraq serving in the military of the 1st Armored Division. The saga of rise and death tolls should not be new to you and i am sure you will not find this mail worrisome. We have seen so much in our days of stay here and no matter how much we paint the picture, you will never understand.

During our invasion of some hiding out mansion used by al-Qaida leader in Iraqi Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi we discovered huge amount of money in cash and mostly in 100 dollar bills, Most of the funds were taken by our superiors and we can not authoritatively or emphatically make over statements concerning the money

But it will interest you to know that we are able to secure part of the money for ourself, please we need your assistance to secure and Invest the money in our behalf,I am interested in investing in Real Estate or any other profitable venture you may suggest,

You may be surprise or skeptical why I chose you as a partner in this deal since I do not know you, well I decided not to contact any body I know for this business to avoid any implications or blackmailing now or in the future considering my self as an American Soldier, I hope you will understanding and co-operation accordingly

The funds are available and will be released to you as soon as I receive a positive response from you. The pictures of where and how the fund was discovered will be send to you once I get your consent to this effect

Feel free to come up with your percentage sharing pattern of the fund as I am as good as yielding towards accepting a reasonable percentage share of the fund you will demand for the benefit of our mutual understanding.

Hoping to hear from you in no distant time, use only my personal email: captbfreeman@strompost.net

Respectfully,

Capt.Brian Freeman

I've been jerking an Iraqi "Dr" along for a couple weeks now.

He has $7MM in $100 bills being held by a security company in England and is going to pay me 20% to help him move it.

I told him to call me at 1-800-664-7676

What's wrong with the English and phrasing of the message? It sounds like it could have been written by the Valedictorian of a US public school.
