Sgt Smith Martins

 

Fraud.

One out of five!

I have a new email address!
You can now email me at: smith6565748@yahoo.in



- Attention:Sir/Madam My name is Sgt Smith Martins, 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 ( $ 35 million u.s. dollars ) Thirty Five million 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 no stolen money, and there are no danger involved. 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 it was agreed by staff Sgt Kenneth buff and I 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 hell hole. Of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last week. You will find the story of this money on the web address below; 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 brithish/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 that you are willing to assist me. I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the assistance 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 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 my only way of communication email. Kindly reply to this email address(sgtmartinssmith@yahoo.com.hk) God Bless You Sgt Smith Martins.

Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.

I got this same letter; recently scammed by Halifax and Prince Peter Smith, I shared this with him..here is what to watch for if you make a statement like this: I have a friend, this time, James Scott, who is supposedly a U.N. investigator that he could enjoin to get my money back as they are "personal" friends.

There is no fool like an old fool..they even set up a phony Halifax phone line for electronic funds transfers with the name of Richard Edwards...all went well until the pin and then no pin and a message the next day that the needed two documents for clearance. These are documents that I paid for, scammed that is, supposedly Mr. Scott had/has with him.

Pretty elaborate scam.

Also watch for Selma Linda George and Koko Usman.
