A few days ago a buddy of mine got an email scam from some ass pretending to be in the USMC. It was the usual crap:

Quote:

My name is Captain Whoever of the US Marine corps stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan,
I found some money stashed in a couple of barrels while on patrol ($900,000.00) I need someone to help me move it to a safer place, please have it in mind that there is no danger involved. You may contact me on [email protected] so that I can provide you with more details

Those are the details, that's all that was in the email. I don't mind poor Nigerians trying to scam me, but marines...come on...especially on memorial day weekend.

...Yea, right. So being a real Marine, I thought I would take this guy on as well as that butt head Greg in the other thread. Vincent sent me the particulars and I got to work. (My comments are in blue

Quote:

Dear Cap. S,

Thank you for contacting me. {He didn't obviously.} I am old but always ready to help a US Marine. Please let me know what I can do to help you.

He replied with typical scammer junk, taking it from a prep'ed script we have seen many times before....

Quote:

I really appreciate your reply but you may be wondering why I chose to contact you: I am trained to understand that at certain situations, one could be compelled to trust a stranger, rather than a close friend or family. A stranger generally tries to earn your trust and would have your best interest at heart.

This money wasn’t stolen, usually we find things like this but we are usually compelled to burn and bury but we didn’t this time. My colleague successfully transferred his share out to the UK I intended to use his contact but he was killed last month in a bomb attack so I had to take my chance on you. I have no intention of asking for your bank information, Social security number or anything that may compromise this relationship.

I was born at Cherry Point Washington in 1970, a fourth generation Officer. I grew up in Springfield, Virginia and attended the University of Virginia on a NROTC scholarship. I also have a Chief Information Officer (CIO) and a CNSS 4011 Information Assurance (IA) Certificate. I am 5'11", very fit, muscular and have black hair. I am very good with my hands and considered by many as a good carpenter, I love building stuffs and I am thinking of establishing a small furniture company when I retire. It is fun getting paid for playing around cause that’s what our hobbies are like to us, "Play"

Now back to the business at hand. I have packaged the money as personal belongings of a fallen soldier; it shall be transported to the UN office in London along with other military packages going to various destinations from where it would eventually be delivered to you. You shall stand in as the next of kin of this fallen soldier (Staff Sergeant Richard ). I have the cooperation of a German diplomat (Mr. B), he has been transferred to the UK and will be carrying the packages under diplomatic seals and cover. I have given him a "secret payoff" he shall have no problems going through customs as a diplomat and like I said, the packages will be covered with a certain seal that will prevent the customs from going through its content.
I will give you more information and terms when I get your reply which will also mean you are willing to do this.

Warm regards to your family, have a blessed day.

Respectfully,
Capt S

Now at this point I like to see if I can roll one quickly. The idea is to get them "off script" so they are actually typing to me and not just doing the copy and paste.

Quote:

Of course Capt. I am honored that you chose an old man like me for
this. If there is anything you need let me know. I even have an old
laptop computer I was going to send to the troops. If you would like
it, I can send it to you!

Happy Memorial Day!!

Mike

Quote:

Dear Mike, I have arranged with Mr. B (the German diplomat) to have the packages covered with a special diplomatic seal, this will prevent the customs from conducting any scan or search on the packages hence, the true content will remain undetected while on transit.

I have not and will not disclose the content to even Mr. B, I am simply taking advantage the immunity he has, to beat the unusually tight security we have here in Kabul. The packages will arrive at the UN office in London from where it becomes very easy delivering it to your address.

You will get 30% for your effort that will put the value of your share at $270,000 If that is ok, you will send to me, your preferred delivery information (name, contact address, Telephone number) in your next mail to me. The detail will be tagged to the packages before airlifting and of course I need to know how to reach you when I am discharged.

I shall send you further information once I have received your next reply.

Do take care of yourself and a line of prayer for those of us at war.

Capt. S

Hummm... still on script obviously.... lets try again.

Quote:

Sure thing Captain,

I am Mike and president
of Services, we are an internet corp based in NC. I would like
to get it done thought
quickly as you say because of summer.

The best address is Somewhere
My number is the usual one. Fell free to give me a call but
please only during business hours. If you get my voice mail, leave a
message with a return number and I will call you back!

Oh and you did not answer my question...?

Mike

Quote:

Dear Mike, your name has been tagged to the packages, identifying you as the Next of Kin to the late Staff Sgt and it should arrive the UN office in London on Monday (May 31st, 2010). I have already gotten clearance for the packages to be moved from the diplomatic village.

You shall contact Mr. D of the UN Diplomatic office in London right away through his email [email protected] informing him that you are to receive from Afghanistan personal effects of Late Staff Sgt. R which are two boxes as the executor of his last will and testament.

I will want to state again that the UN officials do not know the true content of the packages so your first job is to always keep it as that and you must also not make the mistake of disclosing my Identity.

The UN believes this packages are sent directly with other packages from our Military base camp out here in Afghanistan so all you need do is play along as the relative of late Staff Sgt. R.

AT THIS POINT I WILL NEED YOUR COMPLETE CONFIDENCE. IT WILL BE VERY DISHEARTENING TO HAVE PUT THIS MUCH EFFORT AND SEE IT ALL COME TO NOTHING. Please be as cooperative as possible with the UN to ensure the packages are delivered to you.

Once again I want to let you know, there would be no risk involved, I have taken care of all that there is.

Capt. S

Damn, he is still on the script. Lets just flat out ask again about my lap top.

Quote:

Thanks. Sending him email now. Did you want the lap top computer?

Nothing. So I sent a email to the "UN Guy" repeating my first email to the Capt. and get this:

Quote:

UNITED NATIONS DIPLOMATIC UNIT
3, WHITEHALL COURT
LONDON, SW1A 2EL
UNITED KINGDOM

Dear Mike Howard,

I hereby bring to your notice that we are to make delivery to you, two metal boxes registered as personal effects of Late Staff Sergeant Richard Blakes which arrived the United Nations office in London from Afghanistan.

Confirm your full name and delivery address, for onward shipment of the items to your location.

Accept my deepest sympathy.
Regards,

D

ok...

Quote:

Thank you Mr. Atkinson. Is there anything I can do to help you?

Then low and behold today I get this from the Capt.

Quote:

I wouldnt mind the lap top, but I wouldnt really need it until I am back.

Hummm... off script and maybe tempted.... Lets put some stink on the bait!

Quote:

Well, let me know, cause if you dont want it for some time I will just send
it to the USO group and they can give it to someone. It is my old 2008
Macintosh MacBook G4 Pro with 500gb drive and Blue Ray disk reader burner.

Let me know, I keep it for you for about a week till I send it on to the fleet.

Mike.

Quote:

You could just send it on, ok?

Muahahahahahah!!! Not sure what he meant by that but I hope the bait may be set!

Quote:

Sure. I need a mailing address though and instructions. Thanks, it almost went to either Craig's List or Ebay.

Hoping and praying!

As some of you may have surmised, I am trying to copy the P-P-P-Powerbook of legend! We will see. Currently I am waiting for a reply form the Capt and that UN frak. But at lest the Capt is now off script and talking to me. So one goal is done.

(Oh and all IP's are coming back to Amsterdam.) Mad

UN Guy got back to me with the usual crap asking for some cash of course. Funny to me though is how little the amount was they asked for. They must know the "skin a sheep" ditty.;

Quote:

UNITED NATIONS DIPLOMATIC UNIT

LONDON, SW1A 2EL
UNITED KINGDOM

Attention: Mike,
Receiver's name have been verified however, we have observed that there is no evidence of a special military diplomatic delivery tag (SMDDT) assigned to be on the consignments. Without this tag, my office will not secure the release of the items to the delivery address for security reasons.
We therefore advice that you contact the USA Military Base in Afghanistan; informing them of this development.
In the event that you are unable to secure the tag, our legal department would secure it on your behalf however, you would be required to make a payment of £480.00 or $790 to the Finance Unit of the UN.
The tag also enables us process the delivery to you even without a valid form of identification
You will have 3 working days to provide this sum or the tag to avoid demurrage on your items which will attract a fee of £2 per day.
Be assured that once both consignments have been legally tagged my office will give approval for delivery to your designated address within 48 hours after payment.

I just sent a standard "how do I help reply" and then a "Hey I got this" heads up to the Capt. I hoooooppppppe he bites on the computer!!

Damn, this guy just will not get off script.

Dear Mike,

There has been an error in the documentation for the payment which is usually made by the US military on behalf of the receiver. I call it an error because the packages are carrying the yellow tag which is an indication that the packages are supposed to be treated as diplomatic packages. This fee is usually deducted from the compensatory package of the late military person in question (in this case "Richard B") before dis-embursement to his executor(s).

I have requested that all demurrage fees associated with your package be lifted and suspended but your failure to make payment within a period of 5days will lead to the revocation of the diplomatic seals. After delivery, you may then request for a refund from the US military Headquarters. I shall be inclined to offering you further assistance in that regard.

The payment ($790) shall be through western union money transfer in the name of the Finance Director Mrs. Victoria Ferguson in the following manner;
Name of Payee; (your name)
Name of receiver; Victoria F
Country of Payee; (your country)
Country of receiver; England
MTCN number; (to be provided to you by the western union office)
Please forward the full information to me as soon as the payment is made.
Regards,
Dave Atkinson

Sir, I got your information, but had trouble at the MG office. They said they had to have a street address or at least a city. Apparently some MG offices do not have that kind of cash on them so they have to be able to direct it to a city.

Thanks for your help!!

Big update today, cliff's notes, Dave the UN guy is Pissed at Mr. Z, my guyman from Nigeria.

Quote:

you did not get the cash but that my account was credited anyway. I
copied him here to for good measure. I am waiting from him to get back

Quote:

him and have got a strange mail from somebody claiming to be Mr Z which I
have forwarded to the appropriate authorities.

If you wish to be directly intouch with Miss Fer or even Caroline

And then it happened, Dave the scammer started talking to Mr Z. He did not even try to hid his ip this time. He is in Manchester England and I now suspect he is a woman. Victoria Ferguson may even be a real name.

Quote:

Now Mr Howard is upset...

Quote:

Why did you say to send it Western Union before??? I can do this, get

time. Is that ok?
