THIS ONE REALLY MAKES ME ANGRY  cussing




 I hope my email find's you well. I am in need of your assistance. My
name is Sgt. Joey Jones. I am an American soldier serving in the
military  of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq, we have just been posted
out  of  Iraq and to return in a short while. My colleague and  I need
your  help  to  transfer out the sum of Twnety Five Mllion U.S  Dollars
(US25.0M).

The money which is now in the custody of a Security Company is part of the
money we seized from late Saddam Hussein but was not declared, Right now I
am in the Bagdad trying to sort out things with the Security Company to
ensure a smooth and unhindered transfer of the  money to you,Therefore be
assured that the transfer is safe and risk free.

My colleague and I need a good partner someone we can trust to  actualize
this venture.But we are moving it through diplomatic means  to  your
house directly or a safe and secured location of your choice  using a
shipping company.But can we trust you? Once the funds get to you,  you
take your 40% out and keep our own 60%. Your own part of  this deal
  is  to find a safe place where the funds can be sent to. Our  own
part is sending it to  you.

If you are interested I will furnish you with more details, Awaiting
  your urgent response

Your Buddy.

Sgt. Joey Jones.

God Bless America!!!!

 cussing  I've gotten so many like this. Some people will do or say anything to get your attention and your information. It's pretty pathetic.

Come on people, lets get real ! You have to know this is a scam not only that, why would some you dont know get your email addy and offer YOU money to help them do something illegal. How did they get your email addy? They probably purchased it from a list in hopes of taking your money and potentially ruining your financial life. I would probably say its a safe bet that the person behind this is not even an American ,but someone from Nigeria knowing that we honor our military and would do almost anything to try to help them whenever they are in need. Shame on those people who prey on others. Karma will always swing back around and give them their just rewards . To those who act quickly and think they could get thousands of dollars for free for doing something that would be illegal shame on you for wasting your brain cells because a mind is a terrible thing to waste. LOL. This is just my opinion and im told i am entitled to have it .LOL

Considering what people on other lists I have been on have done to get money out of kind hearted people, I somehow don't really blame these people in foreign countries for trying this. At least many of the people trying this scams are actually poor and are just outright lying, instead of exploiting their kids for sympathy or something worse.

I couldn't believe this, but I received one the other day, saying something in the subject line about the FBI something or other...at any rate, the address at the top of the letter was somebody with the address of J. Edgar Hoover Bldg, Washington D.C., etc.

Then it goes on to say that he is with the FBI and basically if I was in contract or was thinking about being in contract with someone in Nigeria, that it was okay to go ahead and do it.  Then further down there was a Nigerian address.  This blew me away...as if I'd say "gee, it's from the FBI and they say it's okay so I'll go ahead and send money"....

Pathetic!
