| Wow... Anyone feel the need to share in bogus booty? |
| 01.24.09 (10:28 pm) [edit] |
Good evening Boys and Girls.Interesting variation on the Nigerian Prince - "let me share my fortune" scam. I got this email in my surrogate@rocketmail.com email spam folder. At least it went to spam, but the subject line read simply, "1978" and it caught my attention. Talk about 'no shame'... ............. from SSG Dewayne Pittman, Reply to, dewaynepittman79@yahoo.fr I am SSG Dewayne Pittman, an active American soldier serving in Iraq, I am serving in the military of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq, as our mission here is highly exclusive due to insurgents everyday and car bombs are attacking our peaceful mission here. We managed to secure funds from the war zone. The total amount is US$ 9 Million dollars in cash. We want to move this money out of this place,this place is a war zone, so that you may keep our share for us till when we will come over to meet you.We will take 70%, my partner and I.You take 30%. No strings attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, Iraq is a war zone. We plan on using diplomatic courier and shipping the money out in a large box, using diplomatic immunity. If you are interested I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your contact details. This business is risk free. The box can be shipped out in 48hrs if you want to handle the deal with us as brothers. Respectfully, SSG Dewayne Pittman Reply to dewaynepittman79@yahoo.fr ................ Be good to everyone - except Dewayne Pittman, or whoever is using this name to perpetrate this scam. (Do people really still fall for this stuff? - Even after all the publicity these things have gotten?) |

Maybe the guy thought you fell off the turnip truck yesterday. Yes people still fall for these types of scams. A gentleman sent three a thousand dollar money order to a man for a 2007 cadillac that was to be delivered on acceptance of the money, the cadillac is yet to be found.

I think if they send enough of them out there that there is bound to be a person or two that falls for it.
I always follow the notion that "if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is".
Stay warm!
