Nigerian Money Scam Hits New Low...

[Worf101]

Over the years I've gotten every variaion of the ole Nigerian Money Scam that can be imagined. I've been contacted by desperate money launderers from Morroco to Mars... but I never expected one from the U.S. Marine Corps.

My name is Captain Matthew Stamford of the US Marine corps stationed in Kabul,
Afghanistan, I found some money stashed in a couple of barrels while on patrol
($2,000,000.00) I need someone to help me move it to a safer place, please have
it in mind that there is no danger involved. You may contact me on
mattsplay147@yahoo.com.hk<mailto:mat...7@yahoo.com.hk> so that I can
provide you with details.

Please do not click on the link!!!!

This folks, is some sad chit...

Ditto, using my beloved Corps in such a manner. The killer part is that some greedy knucklehead will fall for it and get burned, then call NBC Dateline to do another story about this scam.

I get so many of those mails but they go directly to my scam box! Not only from Nigeria, from all over the world. The one with the UK lottery was very common!

My favourite was one that actually looked like it came from the FBI. It had the logo and everything. So, I promptly reported it to the FBI. I hope they caught the bastard.
