Haven't had this scam before!!!

[Saitch]

Friggin' annoys me that they're pretending to be a serviceman!!

Reads like it was put together by a couple of 10-year-old schoolboys at playtime.

Simple steps to deal with this

1) Open a 'hot mail' account.
2) Reply as Ayman al-Zawahiri.
3) Add some al-Qaeda graphics.
4) Thank him for the deal but you would rather have 100% of the money he stole from you.
5) Mention the Mujahedeen will be in contact shortly.
6) Sit back and wait for the NSA to arrive on your doorstep.

The "Hello Friend" is a dead giveaway. Why would anybody fall for something like that, it is blatantly obvious that it is a scam.

The old adage still applies: If it sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly will be.

IF it came from our ADF I would have gladly forwarded my Bank Details,:p The US bit made it sound suss;)

I think it is totally believable that a trunk could contain US$12bn. And with 20 trunks in total, that's a total of US$240bn!

Given that there is only approximately US$400bn in circulation outside of the US (http://www.frbsf.org/education/publications/doctor-econ/2004/april/money-supply-currency-counterfeit), old Osama did well to corner that much cash!

Well.... Ya had me double and triple counting the zeros and I can only see $12M per box, not $12 BN. Which makes it completely plausible now! :p

Bugger, I should have double counted too.:(

Yep, that's plausible now. I'm sorry I doubted the integrity of a US Marine officer. Especially when he already considers me a friend. :D

You treat your friends with much disrespect :p

Seems legit to me, I can ask a lawyer I have in Nigeria for his opinion after
he sorts out an unexpected inheritance of mine.. :eek:

[sheerluck]

You treat your friends with much disrespect :p

When we meet, and he gives me my 40%, I'll apologise then.;)

[Gillie]

looks like he found more money since 2010
