I m selling my old car at the moment on mobile.de&autoscout24.de ( car-internet-markets in germany) and get some mails by interested people. Sometimes people just try to tell me that they ll buy the car if i send money to their account...

But this one was such a funny story(some had spend time...) that i thought, i should share it:

Hello,
I want to inform you that i will buy your car but i have a business proposal for you. okay...

I am a captain with the United Nations troop in Iraq,on war against terrorism.Based on the United States legislative and executive decision for withdrawing troops from iraq come this year,i have been deployed to come and work in your country's military base soonest. the war is over?

Our mission is to help beef up terrorist targeted states,mostly the United states and the European Union on the war against terrorism.I will need a car for myself and that is why i contacted you. very noble, a porsche should be befitting

On the other hand i want to inform you that I have in my possession the sum of 5.2million USD. which was recovered from one of our raids on terrorists here in iraq because they keep most of their money at home for evil activities which they normally get through illegal deals on crude oil. that means i drive with terrorist´s oil in my car?

Based on the suffering we undergo here some of us do meet such luck.It happened that i went for this raid with the men in my unit and i decided to take it as my share for my stress here in this evil land filled with suicide bombers. bad luck you didnt meet one yet
I deposited this money with a red cross agent informing him that we are making contact for the real owner of the money.It is under my power to approove whoever comes forth for this money. okay, then lets spend it for the poor children of this world!

Where i have a problem is how to invest this money in europe on stocks and real estate.I cannot move this money to the United states because i will be in europe for about 3years and will want to invest it there with my wife who will be relocating with me,so i need someone i could trust. and this is a stranger in the internet = me?

If you accept,i will transfer the money to europe where you will be the beneficiary because i am a uniformed person and i cannot be parading such an amount so i need to present someone as the beneficiary.I am an american and an intelligence officer for that so i have a 100% authentic means of transferring the money through diplomatic courier service .I just need your acceptance and all is done. hmmmm... all these social conventions, overrated!

Please if you are interested in this transaction i will give to you the complete details you need for us to carry out this transaction successfully.I decided to find someone that is real and not imaginary and that is why i went to a secured car site where i can be sure that the person is real.

I believe i can trust you. where we are now we can only communicate through our military communication facilities which is secured so nobody can monitor our discussions,then i can explain in details to you.I will only reach you through email,because our calls might be monitored,I just have to be sure whom i am dealing with. sounds like james bond... might the empire had won the war against luke &friends if they had mailed?

If you are interested please send me your personal mobile number so i can call you for further enquiries when i am out of our military network.I am writing from a fresh email account so if you are not interested do not reply to this email and please delete this message,if no response after 3days i will then search for someone else. my personal mobile number is written down next to the announcment in the internet...

I am doing this on trust,you should understand and you should know that as a trained millitary expert i will always play safe in case you are the bad type,but i pray you are not.5.2million USD is a lot of money which is the dream of anyone. you are the expert!

I wait for your contact details so we can go on.In less than 7days the money should have been noted on your account and i will come over for my money.I will give to you 30% of the sum and 70% is for me.I hope i am been fair on this deal. just 1,56mio $? mmmhhh, sorry, my time is to expensive for this

Regards,
Capt.James Montgomery

I have a friend who was selling a horse, some poeple in madrid wanted to buy it, sent him cashiers checks... he deposited them. The the people called back and got my friends wife on the phone, said there was a medical emercency and they needed the money back, and to wire it. They even let them keep a percentage for their trouble.

Well, my friends wife wired him the money since it was such an emergency, and then a few days later they get a notice from the bank that the cashiers checks were fake... and the money was taken back out, since they had enough in their account still to cover it.

failure.

that is disgusting!

To use the name of a US Miltary person to defraud is low. Really low!

this sounds like a typical nigerian spammer

Yeah, same thing happened to me. I was selling some tickets on craigslist when I received an email sounding like the one the OP received. Two tickets for $300. Well this "guy" emails me. Anyways, I give him my address and a couple days later receive a cashiers check....for $5000. I told him I'd call the police if he ever tried to contact me again.

Are these people actually in/from nigeria or is it just the name of the scheme?
