Subject: AN AMERICAN SOLDIER IN IRAQ
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 14:30:49 +0300 (EEST) (07:30 EDT)
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE.
How are you and your family? Hope all is well. My name is Richard Taylor
(pvt) an American soldier, serving in the military with the army 3rd
infantry division in Iraq. With a very desperate need of assistance, I
have summed up courage to contact you when I found your contact
particulars in an address journal.
I am seeking your kind assistance to move the sum of ($18 million U.S.
dollars) eighteen
Million United States dollars to you in your country, as far as I can be
assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my
service here.
SOURCE OF THE MONEY:
You can go to this web link to read about events that took place here in
Iraq:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
Some money in various currencies were discovered in barrels at a farmhouse
near one of Saddam old palaces in tikrit-iraq during a rescue operation,
and it was agreed by staff SSgt Kenneth buff and I that some part of this
money be shared among both of us before informing anybody about it since
both of us saw the money first. This was quite an illegal thing to do, but
I must confess to you there is no compensation that can make up for the
risk we have taken with our lives in this hell hole, Of which my brother
in-law was killed by a road side bomb last time.
The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of
money became a problem for me, this compelled me to confide in my former
boss, the director of green zone who is in charge of every goods and
materials needed here and he has agree to help move the consignment to
whoever I have chosen to safe guard the consignment for me.
He does not know the real contents 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 in his country, I have now found a very secured way of getting the
package out of Iraq to your country for you to pick up, 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 hand because I
feel you are humane.
I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the
assistance you will give to me. One passionate appeal I will make to you
is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to
reject this offer, please and please destroy this message as any leakage
of this information will be too bad for us soldier 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 I will mention later Has prompted me to reach out for
help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately, please
contact me as soon as possible via this medium which is my only way of
communication.
God bless you and your family.
Richard Taylor (pvt)

This is just a small sampling of the
many hundreds of advance fee fraud e-mails received each day here at
419BAITER
headquarters. It is 100% pure B.S. Purity Guaranteed!
There are many different types of 419 scam (examples)
but they all promise you something (fortune, job with salary /
commision,
low-interest loan, lottery prize,
bargain gold dust / diamonds,
work visa, etc.) in return
for a small 'fee' or some kind of remittance. Of course, there is no
fortune, no job, no loan, no prize to be had. It's just a ploy to get
you to
willingly send them money.

section.
NOTE TO
DUMBASS SPAMMERS:
My scam e-mail filtering system is pretty good
but it isn't perfect.
Occasionally a regular spam e-mail will get mistakenly published here
as
a
419 scam. This is inadvertent. If you are a spammer and you don't wish
to have your crap mistakenly published on this website as a
419
advance fee
scam, the solution is
simple. Don't mail your crap to harvested e-mail
addresses.
