New Twist on the 419 Scam - NOW Including US Military
Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2012 12:15 am
I was checking my Held email on the server and came across this one, which was interestingly different than the normal type scam emails. I can't imagine a USA Army Colonel writing as poorly as the dickhead in this email:
The headers are interesting:From: "COL. GINO.B" <gino.ben@aol.com>

My name is Col. Gino.B, a US Army serving in the 3rd Infantry Division in Iraq. I want you to read this mail carefully and understand it.
In 2003, my men and I found over $900 million in Saddam Hussein's hideout in Baghdad, we sent some back to the Iraq government after counting it in a classified location, but we also kept some behind for ourselves. Some of the money we shared among ourselves worth over $200million, I kept mine for a while in a secured place.
I need someone to help me, I found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for you to pick up through the help of a Diplomatic Company . I do not know for how long I will remain here as I have been lucky to survive 2 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention.I just need someone I can trust,i lost a box of gold to someone that said he will help me,I won't like to make the same mistake.The total amount of money is $10million. View the below link to verify/confirm my statement.

If you can handle this deal let me know immediately, you will receive 25% of the money , all you need to do is to find a safe place where you can keep the box till i leave Iraq. Get back to me immediately at: ginoben@blumail.org

Gino.B
