This was a different spin on the rich Nigerian.... basically they need someone who the can trust to commit a crime...



Dear Friend,

Good day to you, My name is James Resto. I am US Army serving in the military with the Third Infantry
Division in Iraq. My Superior and I currently moved some money into a secured place. Please check the
web link on the subject of this message to read more about the cause of the event

Basically since we are working under the Government we cannot keep these funds. Due to the amount
of money involved and for private and confidential reasons we are transferring it through a Diplomatic
Courier Services to your location, which means it is 100% safe and secured. Your primary assignment is
to stand as our contact during the process time of transfering the fund and to provide a secured place
in your location.


My Superior and I need a good partner, someone we can trust to actualise this venture. We garauntee there
is no risk involved in this. If you are interested to serve please reply to my email with effective immediately to
discuss your benefits and furnish you with more details.

Thanks

Yeeeeaaah. Nice new scam.

The way to steal found loot as a soldier in a war zone is hide it in a secure location, sweat out the rest of your enlistment, then go back over and start a defense contracting company that uses that loot to pay it's employees locally in cash, while you get paid for them in the states with nice, freshly laundered money.

If you want to do some wholesale looting, pay off a local executive to squirl away equipment parts for local machines/vehicles/construction before the war, and "discover" these caches after the active war ends to use for the local machine parts supply contract.

Don't have either of these options? Then steal cars whose owners have left the country for safety reasons and use/sell them into secure areas where the owners aren't allowed to come in.


...errr...so yeah, this is clearly a scam, because there are so many other better ways to make money in this fashion than spam strangers.
