swindle letter from a us marine supposedly
Published Jun. 20, 2008I received this email from someone pretending to be a US Marine. It seems the crooks may have gotten a little smarter with this one since some people might actually fall for it since it appears a marine sent it. It usually comes as an email from someone in Nigeria. Anyway, be careful if you do receive the below email.

This wording is always immediately suspicious to me. We don't usually speak like this in the USA.

this i do know how to do, and i also use a junk email address when responding, never the one that they initially sent the email to. this actually helps to redirect the scam mail out of my main accounts.
