Anyone that is so stupid that they fall for this deserves to lose their money.

These scams would stop if people would just stop opening e-mails from people they don’t know (or those silly e-mails that say FW: FW: FW: in the subject line).

Not much better. A real Staff Sergeant would have capitalized both words not just Sergeant. A real SSG would not mention that he had 'summed up courage', as his courageousness would be beyond reproach.

No America would ever call ask for your “mobile number”, rather, they’d want you cell phone number.

You know, something like this would make a good plot for a movie. I remember soldiers actually finding - literally - tons of gold bars, cubic feet of $100 bills, etc. What if some random soldier found that and needed help to smuggle it out of Iraq?

It could be an updated version of Kelly’s Heroes.

I like the part about how it is not stolen money, and then they admit that it was "quite an illegal thing to do."

Nigerian 419. Does any one really believe someone would share their wealth with a total stranger? Then I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
