Comical Phishing Spam
« on: December 13, 2006, 12:13:21 AM »
Received this yesterday (through my HTC e-mail)

"Dear Friend,
I am Captain fredrick Collins of the US Marine Force on Monitoring and Peace keeping mission in Baghdad-Iraq. On the 7th day of June 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 were covered 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 30% 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."

I don't know one Jarhead who would have an ice cube's chance in hell of spelling al-Zawahiri..... Besides, no Marine alive ever used the word "keen" in any sentence, ever.

I like his matter-of-fact disclosure that they discovered two nuclear weapons, but was amazed only to find cash... Likewise, torture appears to be something the writer sees as commonplace. Perhaps in Nigeria...

Well, someone needs to forward this e-mail to the White House so that the President can dismiss the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group while announcing, "see, I told y'all, they had nucular (sic) weapons!"

You know what is truly amazing? There's bound to be plenty of idiots who will respond to this.

My regards,

Widewing

thats funny, as I was reading it I thought the same thing about the word "keen".

also  7 were injured but only 3 were captured?

is your email "reliableand trustworthy@ hotmail.com"?

or do you just have a worldwide reputation for being reliable and trustworthy?

I went and met the guy. We loaded up the cash and Im keeping them in my basement.

  We set off the nukes too..the Mentos we put in them didnt seem to add much to the blast though.
