This in my spam catcher today: Hi , My name is Sgt. David Halliday serving the World and my country in the most honorable way i know i can, in Afghanistan right now with a very desperate need for your assistance. Some time ago a lot of money in various currencies were discovered in some barrels during my service in Bahgdad Iraq during a rescue operation, i happened to be one of the soldiers that lead that operation that day, and as the first person to discover the money i kept Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars(US$ 12,500 Million) out of the money for myself before informing the rest of the troop, 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 this hell hole, my best friend was killed by a road side bomb just few months ago and i cannot count how many times GOD has saved my life down here. I would like you to read the below article so you can confirm what i am saying. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm Now i found a very reliable way of shipping a trunk mettallic box containing the amount of United States Dollars worth Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars(US$ 12,500 Million) and with this opportunity all i need is just someone capable to handle this and keep the box safe till i am able to meet you in person, if you can assure me of your capability i will go ahead and ship the box to you for safe keeping till i am back home and i will gladly give you what you want from the money. If this is okay with you please get back to me with the following so i can get the box shipped to you. 1. Your full name 2. Your full address 3. Your telephone number. Waiting to hear from you. Yours in Service. Sgt. David Halliday http://www.army.mil/ |

Don't you feel lucky that of all the people in the world and of all his friends and relatives, that he trusts you the most. Golly gee, what an honour biggrin 04 Unfortunately, that story might catch a few suckers, especially with God saving his life and then letting him find all that money in Iraq. But he's now in Afghanistan with it in a box, and you can have as much as you want from it. What a deal !! |

I really hope no one is taken in by this sort of thing. Surely by now people are savvy enough to recognise this for exactly what it is. I do find them fun to read though! |

No they are not savvy enough or the scams wouldn't keep coming. There are all kinds of people who go along with this and have lost money. The Nigerian letter has been going on for umpteen years. |
