I've received a few American Soldier scams in my time, but this one aims high and invokes the name of the US Commander in Afghanistan... I think this one needs some attention.

Sure, why not? Email sent.

Ditto.

Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 12:49 am

Email sent.

Wonder how he plans to ship 5 truck Very Happy

Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 1:57 am

Surely no one would believe the general would be sending this out? Especially with that grammar? Confused

My faith in human intelligence has really taken a beating lately. Wink

Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 3:18 am

I'm fascinated by the fact that he is "an American', yet his links are for a British Newspaper and The Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Odd, and hopefully enough for people to smell a rat

Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 4:21 am

Which email is his?

Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 6:08 am

^^^ I think it's this: [email protected]

So not those other Iraq wars that are going on everywhere else then. Rolling Eyes

This one looks like my kind of moron - I'm in!

Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 12:22 pm

Captain Mal and Cammy have posted to the General.

Mal is going to totally roast the straight-leg groundpounding grunt REMF who's stealing from the Iraqi people (and thus give credence to the script) while Cammy will work her own magic on him.

Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 8:58 pm

If anyone gets anything at all looking like a real US military ID with a real Soldier on it from this lad, please PM me ASAP!

Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 9:22 pm

I think that the General is intent on writing himself out of the story. This just in:

Quote:

launched an email his way Twisted Evil

Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 9:30 pm

Just sent an email. Asked him if he really intends to send me five trucks. Told him I am interested in money, diamonds, and gold. He can keep the trucks.

Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2009 9:39 pm

I got him off script asking about the war and his thoughts on it.

hehehehehehe....

Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 5:08 am

@ Yastreb, I received the exact same reply...surprisingly that is his script. As you said, it won't be too hard to get him off that.

Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 6:35 am

Got the same scripted reply. Lets see what he makes of my Chinese dragon character who uses the most bizarre translation software as he doesn't speak English...

Quote:

Tumescent Greeting!

I your email through translate machine put and it make problem to understand you can be help me?

Email say me contact attorney generals but translate machine make into Chinese Dragon speaking mean man who sit in court and send person to prison when malfeasance or riot are has done?

I am not bad person who do criminal thing (apart from business with phoenix and tub of lard but that was misunderstanding) so please explain make to be why speaking to such man of law I must?

Also you are go send five lorries from Ghana which are Africa. Lorries are very large so send on cargo boat or as you big army head honcho spanking with cavernous airplane be sending?

Much important read! Tax in China very large so must silent and like scurrying mouse be! You send through cousin Wang-Wang in Hong Kong most silent and not a word speak to trouser-snake! OK?

Astrological alignment of celestial orb most auspicious! Make quickly the pudding to complete!

Detonations!

Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 11:54 am

He hasn't mentioned how much the whole lot is worth, so Cammy asked him:

Quote:

Well this is a turn-up - but how much are we talking about? You said five boxes of money and diamonds and gold, but not the value.

There's another issue:

Quote:

Also - you said that you wanted to move the boxes to the USA. I can't exactly help with that because I'm in Australia.

Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 5:20 pm

Well I played along with the good General and contacted his lawyer and received the usual BS. Just send money for clearence documents etc.

The great legal mind did offer hs credentials though Very Happy

And with this how could you have any doubts.

Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 5:32 pm

Nice certificate of practice. Tell him you want a real lawyer, you know, one that doesn't need to still practice and can perform real legal services.

Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 6:15 pm

My favorite part of the first certificate is (Equity Justice) - wonder what that means.

Just in from the good General

Quote:

<snipped>want both of us to do this transition together ok, i as i told you on my email all the documents are with me to show to you ok, the consignments boxes 2 content money 13 million usd and 3 content gold and diamond 20k and 30k <end>

Do we have lad in action? He must make this clear to me - is that 13 million in each box? Then I can ask him about the other 3 Laughing

Posted: Tue Sep 08, 2009 6:18 pm

Ask him how much they weigh. That should stall him a bit. $13m would be HEAVY even in $1000 bills

Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2009 12:33 am

He replied with what looks like a poorly written boilerplate. I hit him with a dope slap and told him he did not answer my questions. I wanted to know the purity of the gold (I'm not interested unless it is at least 20K), the clarity of the diamonds, and how he plans to ship five trucks to me.

Posted: Wed Sep 09, 2009 1:21 am

Here is "his" id:

I received the same one and that is the RL general in the photo.

He cleared up the confusion on the amount of money in the boxes. It in now 13 mil per box Very Happy

Tomorrow he will have to explain the value of the other boxes.
