What do you think!

[Archer]

I usually get at least 5 of these a day!

Well I know this is a scam still but what do you guys think? Should someone actually try and catch guys like this? I have forward stuff like this in the past to our local police dept. But they don't do nothing in regards.

The question is what if someone who sends this crap was legit????

$$$$$$$ could someone collect!!!

This is just a new (to me) twist on the old Nigerian e-mail/letter scam. Notice the misspellings. Anyone who is a soldier in the US Army is going to know how to spell infantry and "infantary" isn't it! And that's only one misspelling. That's a solid clue that this isn't from someone with a legitimate story.

Instead of reporting this sort of thing to the police, report it to whatever consumer protection agents are available in your jurisdiction's judicial system. In the US it would usually be someone in a bureau of the state attorney's office.

Thanks SoutherCelt... I just usually delete this spam. I also get a super big amount of the Nigerian and some Russian ones to. I just wish they would send me a damm cheque!

I guess I'm not as popular as I thought I was

Maybe I will send them some snow!
