More of Saddam Hussein's treasures!

You'd think that all the treasure would have been scammed by now, but no -- there's always more. Don't respond, don't be fooled, by messages like this. (Even if they're in all caps.)

  1. I know. I got this one:

    Address: 1907 N.Wilton PL
    Los Angeles CA 9006.
    Dear Friend,
    My name is Sgt. Micheal Clifford; I am an American soldier with Swiss background, serving in the military with the army's 3rd
    infantry division. With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you. I found your contact
    particulars in an address journal.
    I am seeking your kind assistance to move the sum of (US$19,600,000M) Nineteen Million Six Hundred Thousand United States
    Dollars to you, as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here, this is not stolen
    money, and there is no danger involved.
    The Source of money: Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrels at a farmhouse near one of Saddam's old
    palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and staff Sgt. Kenneth Buff and I decided that some part of this money be shared
    among both of us before informing anybody about it since both of us saw the money first.
    This was quite an illegal thing to do, but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives
    in this hellhole of which a roadside bomb killed my brother in-law last week. You will find the story of this money on the web
    address below: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
    The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a
    British contact working here and his office enjoy some immunity, I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out
    of trouble spot. He does not know the real contents of the package, and believes that it belongs to a British / American medical
    doctor who died in a raid here in Iraq, and before giving up, trusted me to hand over the package to his family in united states.
    I have now found a much-secured way of getting the package out of Iraq to your country for you to pick up, and I will discuss this
    with you when I am sure you are willing to assist me. I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the
    assistance and also what you will give to me.
    One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody, should you have reasons to reject this offer,
    please and please kindly destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldier’s here in Iraq.
    I do not know how long we will remain here, and I have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the
    special grace of God, this and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help, I honestly want this
    matter to be resolved immediately, please contact me as soon as possible as my only means of communication is through email
    and do remember to include the following info's:
    1. YOUR FULL NAMES
    2. PHYSICAL ADDRESS
    3. TELEPHONE and MOBILE NUMBER (if any).
    Thanks and I await your immediate responds.
    God Bless you.

  2. AND THIS IS MINE AS OF TODAY:

    How are you today and thank you for all information's presented. I recieved news that the package was airlifted early today by the United Nations task force handling all recovered properties to the United Kingdom.There was a bomb scare at the depot this morning and all properties deposited for airlifting has been evacuted to London from where they will be sorted out and sent to their various destinations. It was an unexpected developement. The agent has assured me that every item evacuated will get to their respective destinations as long as they where duly entered into the data system at the joint military depot here in Iraq.

    You will be contacted from London by the Diplomatic Agency for verification assesment of the package and delivery information made avaliable to you.The agent has informed me that you will be contacted by the dispatch department by mail or phone call. The handling company has it's headquater's located in Egypt but you will be contacted via their agent at the branch office in London. Keep me informed of all communication and dealings with anybody as long as it has to do with the package.

    Be informed that you have nothing to worry about as it is risk free and fail proof considering that all modalities were carefully put in place to encure the successful completion and delivery of the package to your care.Please my friend and benefactor, everything depends on you at this point to have the package delivered to you safely.If documented in your name,address and phone numbers. If for any reason there is need to re-confirm the content of the consignment, you are to inform the handling company that the consignment contains family valuables as recorded here in Iraq.

    Most importantly, you must let the company know that the package is needed urgently at your location and must be shipped to you as soon as possible. You know we cannot afford to leave the package with the diplomatic agency for a longer period other than specified to avoid demurrage.I expect to hear from you as soon as you are contacted in respect to our package

    Thanks for your commitment towards this transaction,

    Regards,

    Respectfully,
    Capt. Michael Scholl
    United States Marine Corps. IRAQ.
