This has to be one of the most despicable e-mail scams I have seen. Don't let your concern or sympathy for the troops allow you to fall into a trap. I very well could be wrong, but I like to believe there is a special kind of Hell for people who do this: Dear Friend, Let me start by introducing myself. I am Captain David Dukeman of the US marine forces currently serving in Iraq. My troops were deployed here in Iraq since the start of the war, though I have visited home thrice since then. Just last week Tuesday we received an urgent call from Baghdad that some terrorists were camping there and my troops were sent there to forestall their activities. On perceiving our presence, they first opened attack on us. There was nothing we could do rather than return fire. We were really under heavy fire. Finally, we brought the situation under control and some of them fled, 6 were killed and we were able to arrest 11 of them alive. When I was interrogating one of them, whom I got to know was their leader, to see if he could give us more useful information. After series of intense interrogation, he promised to show us where they kept their weapons.I took some of my men and went there not too far from karbala here in Iraq. When we alighted from our mobile units, he took us straight to a deserted building where inhabitants had vacated for long because of the war.Later, he took us to a particular room inside the building where Guns and Bombs were kept. I ordered my boys to search the other rooms. About 5 minutes later, one of them came back and took me to one of the rooms where there were five (5) trunk boxes. I opened them and to my amazement, there were loaded with US dollars. I was confused, I ordered him not to show or tell anybody about it and we all returned to our base. At night of the same day, I took one of my men who found the boxes and we went back there. We counted the money and they all amounted to $14million in $100 bills. Now, I need your help to transfer this money because I want it to be in safe hands. I want you to give me your name, contact address and bank account number so that I can send the money there for keeps. You will be given 30%, my boy who found the money will have 20% while I have the rest. I will come down there immediately you cash it for the sharing. Please, endeavor to keep this information secret. Don't disclose it to anybody for security reasons and to protect my interest with the US marine forces.I will take pictures/photos of the said trunk boxes filled with money for confirmatory purposes. Best regards, Captain. Dukeman
There is a Biblical response to this type of thing: The wicked in his pride persecutes the poor; let them be caught in the plots which they have devised. Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble. Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man; seek out his wickedness until You find none. Psalms 10:2, 12, 15 KJV I only hope our troops have not seen or received this same message.
