Now they are masquerading as U.S. soldiers fighting in Iraq... the sumb*****s. 

Capt.Scott j Wright From Iraq.

My Name Is Capt.Scottj. Wright,

I am an American soldier in peace keeping force in Iraq, I am serving in the military of the1st Armored Division in Iraq, as you know insurgents everyday and car bombs are attacking us.

We managed to move funds belonging to Saddam Hussein's family. The total amount is US$ 23 Million dollars in cash. We want to move this money to you, so that you may keep our share for us till when we will come over to meet you.We will take 60%, my partner and I.You take 40%. No strings
attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, Iraq is a war zone. We plan on using
diplomatic courier and shipping the money out in three large silver
boxes, using diplomatic immunity.

If you are interested I will send you the full details,  my job is to find a good partner that we can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your contact details. This business is risk free. The boxes can be shipped out in 48hrs.

Respectfully,
Capt Scottj.wright,

These damn "Nigerian" spammers have something in my work email box almost every day. Somehow they never hit my personal email, though.

I agree, posing as a U.S. Soldier definitely crosses another, separate line. Have you reported it? The FTC accepts forwarded scam emails and apparently tries to catch the people:http://www.ftc.gov/spam/

Mark got one that threatened my life if we didn't pay this person $35,000 American to give his "boss" no information he would make sure our lives were taken off the list. Mark wrote back, "There will be no space on this planet safe enough for you to hide in if you touch my wife. With three of our boys serving you have to be an idiot to even attempt this threat. Besides she meaner than all of us! You better hope she never has an accident...live your life from now on looking over your shoulder". Never heard another peep.

I never read them. Anybody emailing me that I don't know that has anything to do with money gets deleted.
