New email scam based on the Nigerian one (I thought it was a joke)
email | 8/18/05 | me

Posted on 08/18/2005 9:38:27 PM PDT by ladyesk

My name is Eric Joseph, I am an American soldier, I am serving in the military of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq, As you know we invade Saddam Hussien's Home earlier in 2004,We were able to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussien's family But we did not disclose the sum of US$25Million Dollars. We want to move this money to you, so that you may invest it for us and keep our share for banking.We have been unable to ship the consignment all this while,due to the Insurgent attacks we witness daily.We had made adequate arrangement for the cosingment to be ship since the war is partially Over.We plan on using diplomatic courier and shipping the money out in one large silver box, using diplomatic immunity.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? When you receive this letter,kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your contact details. This business is risk free. The box can be shipped out in 48hrs.Respectfully, Sgt.Eric Joseph

A lousy 25 million? Is that all?

If it was 50 or 100 Million, I might be interested in helping the good Sargent out, but only 25 mill is not worth me getting out of my pajamas for.

I will, however, send them my ex-wife's banking info so she can help them out. She has a heart of gold. Digging.

Dang, we need to give our soldiers English lessons.

Congressman Rangel will use this to show that we need more priveleged college boys fighting in Iraq.

This is ridiculous!

No, what is ridiculous is opening email from someone you don't know.

Tip: Delete all email with an unrecognizable email address.

This is a business email account. We only delete the obvious subject headings. Everything else needs to be checked out. Otherwise you can end up with some pissed off customers.

Got a Mac too. So far any wormy stuff hasn't affected us.

I assume from Sgt. Joseph's poor grammar and capitalization skills he attended public school.
Or he doesn't speak English as a first language, can we say foreigner? lol
