I had this e-mail today which seems to be a take off on the about a Nigerian in prison with a pile off loot to get rid off, so I thought I would share it with you all.


Hello Friend

How are you and your family? Hope all is well.


My Name is (SGT) CAMPBELL JASON; I am an AMERICAN SOLDIER, Serving in the
military with the Army?s 4th battalion, 64th armored regiment. With a very
desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you.

I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your kind
assistance to move the sum of ($8 million U.S Dollars) Eight million united
state dollars to you, As far as I can assured that my share will be safe in
your care until I complete my service here.

SOURCE OF MONEY:

Some money in various currencies were discovered in barrels at a farm house
near one of saddam?s old palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and
it was agreed by my STAFF SGT KENNETH BUFF, SFC DANIEL V. ESS and I that some
part of this money be shared among us before informing anybody about it since
we saw the money first. This was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you
what? No compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in
the hell hole. Of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last
time. You will find the story of this money on the web address below. After we
have summated the remaining part;

The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind
of money
became a problem for me, so with the help of British contact working here, and
his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to get the package out to a safe
location entirely out of trouble spot. He does not know the real
content of the
package, and believes that it belongs to a British/American medical doctor who
died in a raid here in Iraq, and before giving up, trusted me to hand over the
package to his family . I have now find a very secured way of getting the
package out of Iraq , and I will discuss this with you when I am sure that you
are willing to assist me, and I believe that my money will be well secured in
your hands because you have the fear of God.

I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the
assistance
you will give me. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss
this subject with any body, should you have any reason to reject this offer,
please and please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will
be too bad for us soldier?s here in Iraq. I do not know how long we
will remain
here, and I have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by
the special grace of God, this and other reasons will mention later has
prompted me to reach out for your help, I honestly want this matter to be
resolved immediately, please contact ma as soon as possible with my private e-
mail address which is my only way of communication

God bless you and your family.


(SGT) CAMPBELL JASON.

I wonder if anyone out there believes this stuff.

Meh..this scam has been going around for some time now. I know if ever saw this pop up in my e-mail I would be obliged to send it on to the FBI.

sucks so bad that people stoop this low

Damn, it's really sad to see that the Nigerian/419 scammers have moved over to abusing/faking soldiers as well now..

Would you believe the answer is 'yes'. My father had a client who was recently taken for $40,000 in a Nigerian oil scam.

The Nigerians are feeding off the greed and stupidity of the modern world. Its a sad testament to the current state of affairs.

Nah... no one believes this cr&p!
