This is a typical Iraq soldier money scam. I decided to rename the good sergeant though because it was all too tempting. He doesn't even seem to mind.

Anyhow, my baiting mails are in blue, scammer's in red, web silliness (M7CN S3CUR3, etc) in green, and my comments in black. Enjoy!

HOW ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY?. HOPE ALL IS WELL.

MY NAME IS ( SGT 1ST CLASS ) G00DSON P3T3RS, I AM AN AMERICAN SOLDIER,
SERVINGIN 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 ( $9.8 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS )NINE
MILLION,EIGHT HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS TO YOU IN UNITED STATES, AS
FAR AS I CAN BE ASSURED THAT MY SHARE WILL BE SAFE IN YOUR CARE UNTIL I
COMPLETE MY SERVICE HERE SOMETIME NEXT YEAR.

SOURCE OF MONEY:

SOME MONEY IN VARIOUS CURRENCIES WAS DISCOVERED IN BARRELS AT A FARM HOUSE
NEAR ONE OF SADDAM’S OLD PALACES IN TIKRIT-IRAQ DURING A RESCUE OPERATION,
AND IT WAS AGREED BY STAFF SGT KENNETH BUFF 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.

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 BRITISH CONTACT
WORKING HERE, AND WHICH 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 AN RAID HERE IN IRAQ, AND
BEFORE GIVING UP, TRUSTED ME TO HAND OVER THE PACKAGE TO HIS FAMILY IN
UNITED STATES. I HAVE NOW FOUND A VERY SECURED WAY OF GETTING THE PACKAGE
OUT OF IRAQ TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR YOU TO PICK IT UP.

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 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 I WILL MENTION LATER HAS
PROMPTED ME TO REACH OUT FOR HELP, I HONESTLY WANT THIS MATTER TO BE
RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY, PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WITH MY E-MAIL
ADDRESS WHICH IS MY ONLY WAY OF COMMUNICATION.

My Good Friend Dr. S1mon W1ll1ams

Thank you very much for accepting to handle this transaction for me, I got your phone number and home address, my air force friend would be leaving today to London and will proceed to the office of UNITED NATIONS DIPLOMATIC DELIVERY SERVICE and deposit the consignment, he would forward me the deposit certificate and the contact information of the UNDDS as soon as it is deposited.
Please my good friend do not for any reason discuss this transaction with any body, it has to be confidential for security reasons.

I will get back to you with the contact information of the delivery service together with there contact information so that you will contact them for the delivery to your home.

Thank you very much and God bless you, I have decided to offer you 20% of the total money for your assistance.

Sgt Pepper,

I have been waiting by my computer for word from you, yet I hear nothing. Are you for real, or just a big faker? It was 20 years ago today that you taught your band to play, at least so the saying goes. Get back to me ASAP.

--Dr. S1mon W1ll1ams

He sends the following email twice. I guess he really wanted to stress that he was "for real."

My Good Friend Dr. S1mon W1ll1ams

I got your email and want to tell you to stop thinking if this transaction is for real. If up till this level you have not believed me I will suggest you quite because it is not by force it is a transaction that would bring mutual benefit for both of us.

I am very glad that the consignment is out of this hell, my air force friend that took the consignment to London emailed me, and right now he is in London working on the deposit with UNITED NATIONS DIPLOMATIC SERVICE. As soon as he is done with the deposit process, the UNDDS will issue him a deposit certificate which would bear your name as the beneficiary. He shall forward me the certificate which I will send to you immediately for you to contact the delivery service (UNDDS) for the delivery to your home.

I shall contact you as soon as he has forwarded the deposit certificate to me, please stop thinking if this transaction is for real because if it is not for real I will not be involve, please assist be with sincerity and trust and I promise you the consignment would be delivered in your home without hitch.

Yours in service,

Dear SGT Pepper,

Have you received the deposit certificate yet? I'm so excited it's like it's going out of style, but news of our transaction has definitely raised a smile. Get back with me as soon as you have word.

Had me laughing at the 20 years ago today, and going out of style.
This is a great opportunity to put on a great album and space out.
Are you going to keep it completely in Sgt. Pepper or will you reference Revolver, White Album, etc.?

Funny stuff.

subject PLEASE RESPOND URGENTLY

My good friend,

What is needed is your home address not P. O BOX the delivery service does not make delivery to P. O BOX therefore I need your home address urgently. My air force friend is in London and he is waiting to receive your home address so that he could complete with the deposit and proceed on his journey.
I am waiting to hear from you urgently.

God bless you.

Yours in service,

Sgt. G00dson P3t3rs

Sgt. Pepper,

As you know, I am a university professor. As such, the university provides me with housing. The faculty mail department is where my mail goes to. They do accept packages for me, they just get delivered to the mail room and get sorted from there. But that is the only address I have. Don't worry, I can receive packages through the address I gave you.
