I received this spam email a bit ago. I think we should all respond and help "Col. Gable"

Just imagine 1,000 Police Dept phone numbers in his inbox.

Email: col.clarkegable@terra.com

Dear Honourable,
My name is Col. Clarke Gable of the 27th Infantry Brigade United States Army Fallujah Iraq. I'm contacting you on behalf of my team here in Iraq peacekeeping service; we needed your assistance to move an allocation {Funds} into your custody for safekeeping pending our final dismissal here any time this year...

However, I wish to remind you that I’m a soldier and I have no time to come over the internet for a child play, so please if you are not able to handle this transaction with utmost confidentiality please Do Not Reply.

If somehow you are interested in this proposal, kindly leave a message with your most confidential telephone numbers and I will get back to you with details.

Yours Respectfully,
Col. Clarke Gable

No surprise if the email traces back to Nigeria.

icehog3 · 09-15-2009, 09:58 AM

Idots scamming and now using the Soldier card...

!!

MrOneEyedBoh · 09-15-2009, 11:23 AM

I mean sounds 100% legit...

wait what?

I hate posting things on craigslist and getting these similar things. People are getting ridiculous. Yesterday a co-worker got a text message saying he needed to verify his bank info for something. SO now it looks like they are getting cells now too, so be careful.

Sr Mike · 09-16-2009, 07:36 AM

Just google the name, or e-mail, that scammer has been very active.

md4958 · 09-16-2009, 07:40 AM

Did you say Clark Gable?!?!?

DPD6030 · 09-16-2009, 07:45 AM

What's next? I had a "priest" contact me and now Fred has a "soldier" contact him. WTF? Blocking incoming spam emails now shields up

HK3- · 09-16-2009, 07:58 AM

I wonder how many people actually fall for this crap? To the spammers

Sailchaser · 09-16-2009, 08:22 AM

Just turned it over to a scam breaker IT friend of mine who will have lots of fun with this

hotreds · 09-16-2009, 09:54 AM
