Possible E-mail Scam Alert (from marines..)
Possible E-mail Scam Alert (from marines..) Got this in the e-mail box this morning sent twice. Seems like some major BS to me. I'll let you judge for yourself, but just throwing a warning out there.
And I hope none of our marines are this bad at writing, thats some horrible crap there.

Dear Friend,
I am Captain Brain James of the US Marine Force on Monitoring and Peace
–keeping mission in Baghdad-Iraq. On the 26th day of September 2006, we were alerted on the sudden presence of some Terrorists camping in a suburb not too far from Karbala here in Iraq . After Immediate intervention, we captured three (3) of the Terrorists, twenty-six (26) were killed leaving seven (7) injured.
In the process of torture they confessed being rebels for late Ayman
al-Zawahiri and took us to a cave in Karbala which served as their camp. Here we recovered several guns, bombs and other Ammunitions including some boxes among which two contains nuclear weapons, one filled with hard drugs(cocaine) and the other four to my amazement contain some US Dollars amounting to $7.2M after I and two of my junior intelligent officers counted them. I however instructed them to keep this in high secrecy.
I am in keen need of a “Reliable and Trustworthy” person like you who would receive, secure and protect these boxes containing the US Dollars for me up on till my assignment elapses in here in Iraq. I assure and promise to give you 14% of this fund, however feel free to negotiate what you wish to have as your percentage in this business..
Please assure me of your keeping this topmost secret to protect my job with the US Monitoring and Peace-Keeping mission. Contact me through my personal email: (capt.brainjames@hotmail.com)
Sincere regards,
Capt.Brain James.

I've been getting emails like that for over a year. Usually they are from a Ugandan banker stating that my rich african relatives were killed in a rebellion and I need to send him my bank acct info so he can wire me the millions of dollars.
I'm pasty white, I promise I have no african relatives. Furthermore, I'm a Marine, so it kinda pisses me off that the email bank scammers are using a Marine alias to commit thier fraud. There are soooooo many inconsistancies with that email, I hope no one would ever consider it to be official.

After having a few hours to mull that piece of garbage over, I take back my previous statement...There is a deep sickness in this world that manifests it'self in crap like that. We really need to turn off the lights, usher the T.V. cameras out the door and cleanse the world once and for all.
and doc's darkside comes out.....
I listed my 2nd gen for sale on racingjunk.com
I got an interested party that wants to send me $5000 more then I was asking for the car, that I am supposed to direct to the shipper of his choice.
He asked for a description of the car and pics. I send a description and no pics and then I got this offer.
I shot e-mails back and forth with him for a while. It had occured to me that it was a scam prior to the last e-mail.
Makes me a little mad. I wish there was a way to catch the dirtbag.
I am tempted to string him along and waste his time. Maybe at least in this way he will victimize one less person.
