Hi Ronald E. Kramedjian

What I wish to ******** you with may sound unethical and out of practice,but in the circumstance we found our selves,anything really goes. If we dont give it a go,someone else definitely will, so I want you to see reasons with us. This is far better than going AWOL or turning renegades.

My name is Sgt. Jarvis M. Reeves Jr. I represent my interest and that of few of my fellow soldiers here in Iraq who are in need of your service, understanding, and assistance as regards a mutually beneficial deal.

We are of the marine corps here in Ba'quba, IRAQ. And presently with we service men, is fifty million US dollars we stumbled into in the course of this war against terror.We desire to move these funds out of this gulf country a.s.a.p. for safe-keeping and subsequent sharing/investment between we and you.

We will be moving the funds through diplomatic means, to send it to your residence directly or to a bank of your choice using diplomatic courier service. The whole process is simple, but note that we must keep a low profile at all times. Our main worry is whether you can keep the trust once the funds get to you?(assuming and hoping we make it out of here alive, for people die here daily). My partners and I need a good partner, someone we can repose great trust on,and we strongly feel that someone is you.

We are also very concerned that you do not report us to our superior officers or to the authorities,hence we sincerely plead that should you not be interested in any way, please kindly disregard this mail to save us problem. We sincerely do not want these funds to be taken over by our non-combatant superiors (as is usually the case) considering all the physical and psychological traumer we experience here daily through many close shaves with death.

If you are interested, and is of trust,and can keep this low-profile, then get back to me a.s.a.p so that I can work out modalities to effect and perfect this transaction.

Regards,

Sgt. Jarvis Reeves Jr.
NOTE: Kindly do let me know what percentage you are willing to accept for your service and assistance so that I may discourse that with my partners. And please be praying for our survival for it aint really an easy road down here.Thank you.

God Bless America

I'm not so sure that is a good idea...

I don't know where this person got your email addy (was it on your profile at any time?), but I have a strong feeling these folks might be tied to or are the "Saudi Freedom Fighters" that couldn't get our support before when they wrecked the forums...so they'll play with folks' heart strings instead. I say this only because it's interesting that they used your screen name...I could be completely mistaken and if I am, please disregard...but it isn't common to have one's name listed this way (the middle initial). Nothing wrong with it, just that most screen names on BB's aren't listed this way.

In any case, emailing these people (if they are the group I'm thinking of) can lead to problems when they backtrack the IP address of the sender.

I don't blame you one bit for being ticked, it is a scam and I can't type here what I think of them.

I'm sorry Baron for breaking the rules, but I felt this was important.

Because then they will have many others to play with.

Ronald you know it is a fraudulent e-mail and then say send him an e-mail?

Delete it. Simple as that. Best way to stop chain mail or fraudulent mail is to delete them.

Do not respond to them at all.

I recently found out that my entire Hoof Blog has been translated into farsi and is posted on an Iranian horse news site. Pictures and all. For all I know, horseshoes.com forums are avidly read in Tehran, too. What do you all make of that?

I know the vet school there is very good and also very interested in lameness but this doesn't seem to be an academic web site.

Google yourself once in a while. You might be pleasantly or unpleasantly surprised at what you'll find and where you will find it!

Fran I think that is pretty cool. Would be nice to have it the other way around and hear more from our brother and sisters around the world.
