DEAR BRIGADIER,

I WISH TO INFORM YOU THAT THE DETAILS OF MY MAIL TO YOU IS NOT FRAUDULENT, WE WERE ON A DISPATCH ROUTINE IN AN OLD FARMHOUSE WHEN I FOUND A STACHED BAG BEHIND A FOOD YATCH FOR THE IRAQIS SOLDIERS. I DECIDED TO DUCK THE BAG SINCE I FOUND OUT THE CONTENTS OF (US$ 2,000.000) TWO MILLION DOLLAR RAW CASH WITH SOME PASSPORTS FOR THE SOLDIERS. I DECIDED TO HIDE IT IN THE CAMP AWAY FROM THE UK MILITARY. RIGHT NOW I NEED TO SEND THE MONEY OUT FROM IRAQ TO SOMEONE WHO HAS AN ACCOUNT URGENTLY THORUGH SOME DIPLOMATS WHO VISIT OUR CAMP ON REGULAR BASIS.
I JUST NEED YOUR HELP SO WHEN I LEAVE THE SHORES OF THIS CAMP I CAN GET BACK MY MONEY FROM YOU. YOU CAN ALSO GET SOME PERCENTAGE OF THE MONEY.
PLS GET BACK TO ME URGENTLY IF YOU ARE INTRESTED SO I CAN SEND YOU THE DETAILS OF THIS DIPLOMAT SO THE MONEY WILL BE SENT TO YOU TILL I LEAVE THE CAMP.
THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS.
SERGENT BRIAN SMITH.
UK MILITARY.

Our military records show 4 Brian Smiths on service in Iraq, all 4 of whom are accounted for and none of whom had any access to the farmhouse where Saddam Hussein was hiding. In fact like 99% of British Personnel, they have only been stationed in the Basra area of south Iraq, hundreds of miles from where Saddam was hiding. No British forces were involved in the apprehension of Saddam. It was strictly a joint operation between US & Iraqi forces. This is how we know you are a criminal.You are con man and you have debased the good name of the British forces. For this you will be dealt with in a timely manner, as soon as we narrow down your exact location. You may be allowed to buy your way out of the situation you now find yourself in, but it will cost you. We expect to receive word that you have been either captured or eliminated within a week or 2. If you are captured alive, you should know that immitating a British soldier in order to cheat others out of money is a capital offense under British military law. Once you are extradicted to Britain, you may expect to be sumarily exectuted. Capital Punishment is no longer practiced in Britain except for military offenses such as yours. We may also consider sending you to Guantanamo Bay for US interogation first to ensure you have no terrorist ties.

Brigadier Beddows.

I don't see it lasting for long, but it could yield some odd replies... Very Happy

It's a different way of working-try not to educate the lad too much as to the way of the armed Forces working as he could use it to add some credibility to a scam on another (real) vic.

Maybe try de-educating him. NOTA WarKeeping troops active in the Compton district of Baghdad etc etc

My guess: He'll read that last reply and the thought "No money from this maga" will pass through his mind. Why bother chasing after something that's too much work for no reward? You'll have to find an extra special lad for this one to work on.

I just love his spelling of "SERGENT". According to dictionary.com, It is only spelled that way in France, Denmark and Romania (correct me if I'm wrong).

That tactic isn't likely to lead to long baits but it sure can be fun at times!
