Dear friend,
Let me start to introduce myself. I am Captain Brian James of the US marine force currently serving in Iraq.
My troops were deployed here in Iraq since the starting of the war, though I have visited home trice since then.
Just last week Friday 19th May, 2006 we received an urgent call from Baghdad that some terrorists were camping there and my troops were sent there to forestall their activities.
On perceiving our presence, they first opened attack on us. There was nothing we could do rather than returning fire. We were really under heavy fire. Finally, we brought the situation under control and some of them flee, 6 were killed and we were able to arrest 11 of the alive.
When I was interrogating one of them, whom I got to know was their leader, to see if he could give us more useful information. After series of intense torture, he promised to show us where they kept their weapons. I took some of my men and went there not too far from karbala here in Iraq.
When we alighted from our patrol cars, he took us straight to a deserted building where inhabitants had vacated for long because of the war. Later, he took us to a particular room inside the building where Guns and Bombs were kept. I ordered my boys to search the other rooms.
About 5 minute later, one of them came back and took me to one of the rooms where there were five (5) trunk boxes. I opened them and to my amazement, there were loaded with the US dollars. I was confused, I ordered him not to show or tell anybody about it and we all returned to our base.
At night of the same day, I took one of my men who found the boxes and we went back there. We counted the money and they all amounted to $14million in $100 bills.
Now, I need you help to transfer this money because I want it to be in safe hands. I want you to give me your name, contact address and bank account number so that I can send the money there for keep. You have 30%, my boy who found the money have 20% while I have the rest. I will come down there immediately you cash it for the sharing.
Please, endeavor to keep this information secret. Don't disclose it to anybody for security reasons and to protect my interest with the US marine force. You should e-mail me through my personal address. cptbrianjames08@gmail.com
Oooh, that's a very creative one. I just get the same-old, same-old. "I have a business deal for you..."
Send the email with all headers to the Naval Investigative Service:

I would be willing to bet they won't take kindly to it either. Gmail may be owned by Google, but I suspect they will fully cooperate with the Feds when dealing with this particular brand of human scum.
Good Luck!
Me too, I'm ticked off and wondering if this thread should be pulled before the dems use it against us.
I agree with you. I'm especially angered by the "series of intense torture".
Geeze,I was just an Army guy,but even *I* know that it's "US Marine Corps".
Maybe we should respond with Cindy Sheehan's e-mail address?
Aye, aye.
As a former Jarhead- this isn't even *remotely* credible. If I had the time, I'd establish a throwaway e-mail address and make a complete fool of this a-hole.
The Capt is a little behind Sgt Hansen, received this about 6 weeks ago. They (419 Scammers)apparently have been doing it for awhile.

Dear Friend
My name is Max L Hansen i am an American soldier,
serving in the military with the Third (3rd) infantry Division in Iraq.
I and my superior after going on a rampage on Saddam Hussein’s palace
in Baghdad discovered a substantial amount of money. This fund in
question was moved to a secure place with the assistance of our contact
person in UK (A private attorney of our UK military colleague); the
total is $15,000,000.00 (fifteen million US dollars).
Basically since
we are working for the government we cannot keep these funds in our
bank account. It is on this juncture that we decided to seek your
assistance to keep this money for us in your account or an offshore
account controlled by you.
There is no risk involved whatsoever. If
you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find
a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust
you? To ensure confidentiality, when you receive this letter, kindly
reply me via e-mail signifying your interest including your
confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication and also
your contact details for identification
You can see photo of
counting involving some petit officers in my unit.
Respectfully
submitted
Sgt. Max L Hansen
NB: Forward your response to my direct
email address: mx_hanson@yahoo.co.uk
LOL! Of course you are right about that, too.
What was it that tipped you off? Certainly not the reference to "intense torture" or the fact that he didn't inform his CO of the $$$.
That takes the cake! LOL
"You have 30%, my boy who found the money have 20% while I have the rest. I will come down there immediately you cash it for the sharing." Oh yeah, Marine Talk???? Can you picture a Capt speaking like that? That alone is a dead give away.
or call Lowbridge
US servicemembers in Europe are bombarded with these scams. They get the contacts out of the Stars and Stripes and run this scam on people trying to sell cars etc.
Realize that service members also have .mil accounts in the format: example@us.army.mil
There are many ways to check-
They tailor these to Freepers. Someone whose dad is opposing a regime we don't like, etc. This would be the first version I've seen where someone is impersonating a serviceman, though. That would be, I believe, a federal crime.
