Darth can't spot a fraud

[Darth.Skyline]

Erm, i dont know where to begin.

I received an e-mail from an "american Soldier" who is serving military with the army’s 3rd infantry division.

heck its too much for me to explain :

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

My name is Staff Sgt. Shelby Cross; I am an American soldier, serving in the
military with the army’s 3rd infantry division. 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 US$8m (eight million United States dollars) to you
in United States; as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your
care until I complete my service here.

Source of money:

Some money in US dollars were discovered in dog kennels at a farm house and
guest houses in an estate near one of Saddam’s old palaces in Baghdad, Iraq
during an operation, and it was agreed by Staff Sgt. Kenneth Buff, Sgt. 1st
Class Daniel Van Ess and I that some part of this money be shared amongst us
before informing anybody about it. Since both of them saw the money first, they
did the informing, while I played the outsider to protect our interest. 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, in 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 addresses below;

The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money
became a problem for me, even after the initial probe of all soldiers of our
command which I was cleared from; so with the help of a 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 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 United States. I have now found a much 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 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 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’s here in Iraq and tarnish the reputation of other services
men. 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 with my private e-mail address ssgshelby147@yahoo.ca which is for
now
my only way of communication until I specify otherwise.
God bless you and your family.

[El_Vikingo]

I've heard about these scams.
If he found the money in a dog kennel, how'd he get it....hold on, i thought he was going to wire you the money. " Staff Sgt. Kenneth Buff, Sgt. 1st
Class Daniel Van Ess" , Buff and Van Ess? Are they real names?!! Why don't they send it to their own mates?

[Downtown_two]

Is it a scam? Are you on drugs?

[El_Vikingo]
