YT 1000 Club Member | Such a sad day Ho Everyone, I just recieved this in my email. Before it was always some scammer from Africa that needed to move a large amt. of money. But this is pretty sad when they use our American soldiers to perpetrate this scam. If you receive an email similar to this please think carefully before you do anything. If you go for it then you will be responsible for any money that goes through your bank. It seems like there is always something to bring these scammers out of the woodwork. Lori Flag this messageFrom Sgt. Scott McLean.Thursday, November 27, 2008 9:39 AM From: "Sgt Scott McLean" <qlink_1@yahoo.com>Add sender to Contacts To: undisclosed-recipientsHOW ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY? HOPE ALL IS WELL. MY NAME IS (SGT 1ST CLASS) SCOTT McLEAN;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($8 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS) EIGHT 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 MONEY: SOME MONEY IN VARIOUS CURRENCIES WERE DISCOVERED IN BARRELS AT A FARMHOUSE NEAR ONE OF SADDAM’S OLD PALACES IN TIKRIT-IRAQ DURING A RESCUE OPERATION, AND IT WAS AGREED BY STAFF SPC. DANIEL COLLIER 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 TELL YOU WHAT? NO COMPENSATION 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.YOU WILL FIND THE STORY OF THIS MONEY ON THE WEB ADDRESS BELOW;BBC NEWS | Middle East | Stash of money found in Baghdad 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 A BRITHISH 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 BRITHISH/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 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 YOU HAVE 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.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 VIA E-MAIL WHICH IS MY ONLY WAY OF COMMUNICATION GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. SGT.SCOTT McLEAN. 3RD INFANTRY DIVISION

| I am a Soldier, and I have been to Iraq. There were too many people I knew who were injured by a road side bomb too many who were shot. And to read something like this makes me SICK! There is no Soldier in the world who would write an e-mail like this, especially if they are still in Iraq! To find such a large sum of money and be able to smuggle it out of the country is pretty much impossible. Dont get me wrong, im sure some have (just not quite that much) and have gotten away with it but lets be real here, how many of us would send an e-mail like this to complete strangers. I work full time for the US ARMY and believe me when I say this, I WILL REPORT THIS! We have lost too many men and women over there and to use our soldiers like that is absolutely uncalled for!! Sorry about that its a bit of a sore spot for me!! |

YT 1000 Club Member | I completelt agree this is sick and I wanted to make sure others are aware of this. I usually delete crap like this but this time I had to inform others to keep someone from falling victim to the sick minds of others. Desaree, I will keep this email in case you need it or I could forward it to you. Whatever you need just let me know. I don't want these idiots to get away with this.
