Has anyone heard from Sgt David Ess, U.S.Army, stationed in Baghdad?  He wants to send me $8,000,000.00 dollars for safekeeping purposes. He picked it up when cleaning out Saddam's bunker.

Shall I send him some earnest money for his troubles?

the last time I got one of these, I got an address to send a check and sent a box full of monopoly money....I am sure I am in some scammers cross hairs as I speak!

[Forrest Richardson]

Coincidentially, we are designing a course for Ess is Turkey. A 31-hole layout that has AK-47 hazards, and land mines. Quite the routing, too. No carts...which all here will applaud. Instead, Humm-v's.

[Adam Clayman]

Forrest, where's he going to get the other ten million?

I am Sgt. Ess's agent for West Fife.  Send me the money and I will assure that it is put to good use.

Bob I got that one too. It was my first Iraq based scam. It is hard to believe these things still can find fresh meat.

[Forrest Richardson]

The other 10 mil comes from Tom Paul, who has stuffed money for years in his mattress.

I was just reading in the paper this morning about a puppy scam they have going.

For a great laugh at the expense at the scammers.

Bob,

I received a not too disimilar letter from Nigeria along the same lines a few years ago.

I forwarded it to the U.S. Attorney and the F.B.I, but, never heard a word from either organization.

I'd suggest that you consider doing the same.

Some poor soul out there might just respond to them and end up bilked out of everything.

[Kalen Braley]

I watched a dateline special on this a few months back.  I was amazed at how many educated people fell for this scam.  There was at least one Attorney and Doctor caught up in the Nigerian scam and lost 10s of thousands of dollars.

Shivas was that you on the dateline special?  

[Cliff Hamm]

This is way OT but I'll still reply...Here's a very creative Nigerian scam.  You place an ad in the local paper to sell something of value.  Say a piano.  This person gets in touch with you and says they saw your ad and are interested.  Currently tho they're overseas.  Would you kindly send a picture as they would like to donate it to their mother's church.  After a few emails including a request for a picture of the item they indicate they'd like to purchase it.  They will have someone pick it up and send you a cashier's check for 2k or so over the value.  They then ask you to keep the cost of the item and wire the rest to their shipper.  Needless to say the Cashier's check is no good and you're out 2k.  Very creative...

[Voytek Wilczak]

People have come to treat cashier's checks as cash and they are not (of course, cash can be fake, too...).

Anyone depositing any cashier's check should wait until your bank notifies you that the funds are actually in your account.

By happy coincidence, Bob, just this morning I received word that I have won 992,000 Euros. I'll forward it to you, and you can send it to Sgt. Ess.
