Sgt David C.Hook - American soldier in Iraq

This is a scam. The fake Sgt. Hook does is not a US soldier, nor is he in Iraq and finally he in not in possession of a silver box containing a large amount of cash. What he does have is a well rehearsed plan to steal money from victims in the form of fake courier/legal/banking fees. Do not reply to this email.

Good day,

My name is David C.Hook, I am an American soldier, I am serving in the
military of the 1st Armored Division in Iraq, as you know we are being
attacked by insurgents everyday and car bombs. We managed to move funds
belonging to Saddam Hussein£r family. The total amount is US$25 Million
dollars in cash, mostly 100 dollar bills. We want to move this money to
you, so that you may invest it for us and keep our share for banking.


You can go to this web link to read about events that took place there:

We will take 70%, my partner and I. You take the other 30%. No strings
attached, just help us move it out of Iraq, Iraq is
a war zone. We plan on using diplomatic courier and shipping the money out
in one large silver box, using diplomatic immunity.If you a! re interested
I will send you the full details, my job is to find a good partner that we
can trust and that will assist us. Can I trust you? When you receive this
letter, kindly send me an e-mail signifying your interest including your
most confidential telephone/fax numbers for quick communication also your
contact details. This business is risk free. The box can be shipped out in
48hrs.


Respectfully,
Sgt. David C.Hook.

Another fake American Military Man, pretending to be in Iraq. As you can see from his IP address, the sender of this email is actually located in Nigeria. He is not American, he is not a Captain with the United Nations Troop, he does not have access to over $16 million. He is a scammer, with an invented story designed to persuade you to send him some money. He has nothing to offer you in return - except more lies. Please delete this sort of email.

Hello ,

I want to inform you that i have a business
proposal for you. I am a captain with the United Nations troop in Iraq,on
war against terrorism.Based on the United States legislative and executive
decision for withdrawing troops from Iraq come this year,i have been
deployed to come and work in your country's military base soonest.Our
mission is to help beef up terrorist targeted states,mostly the United
states and the European Union on the war against terrorism. On the other
hand i want to inform you that I have in my possession the sum of
16.2million USD. which was recovered from one of our raids on terrorists
here in Iraq because they keep most of their money at home for evil
activities which they normally get through illegal deals on crude oil.

Based on the suffering we undergo here some of us do meet such luck.It
happened that i went for this raid with the men in my unit and i decided to
take it as my share for my stress here in this evil land filled with
suicide bombers.I deposited this money with a red cross agent informing him
that we are making contact for the real owner of the money.Base on WORLD ECONOMIC CRISIS that has eating up the hole world now and people loosing their jobs,i wish to use this money for charity purposes and It is under my power to approve whoever comes forth for this money.
I cannot move this money to the United states because i will be in Europe
for about 3years,so i need someone i could deal with.If you accept,i will
transfer the money to Europe where you will be the beneficiary because i am
a uniformed person and i cannot be parading such an amount so i need to
present someone as the beneficiary.I am an American and an intelligence
officer at that so i have a 100% authentic means of transferring the money
through diplomatic courier service .I just need your acceptance and all is
done.

Please if you are interested in this transaction i will give to you the
complete details you need for us to carry out this transaction
successfully.I decided to find someone that is real and not imaginary and
that is why i went to a secured Business site where i can be sure that the
person is real. I believe i can trust you. where we are now we can only
communicate through our military communication facilities which is secured
so nobody can monitor our emails,then i can explain in details to you.I
will only reach you through email,because our calls might be monitored,I
just have to be sure whom i am dealing with. If you are interested please
send me your personal mobile number so i can call you for further inquiries
when i am out of our military network.I am writing from
a fresh email account so if you are not interested do not reply to this
email and please delete this message,if no response after 3days i will then
search for someone else.I am doing this on trust,you should understand and
you should know that as a trained military expert i will always play safe
in case you are the bad type,but i pray you are not.16.2million USD is a
lot of money which is the dream of anyone.

I wait for your contact details so we can go on.In less than 7days the
money should have been noted on your account and i will come over for my
money.I will give to you 20% of the sum and 80% is for my dream.I hope i am
been fair on this deal.Please Reply to [email protected]

Regards,
Captain Martin Albert.

This scammer may well have spoken to a potential-scam victim on the telephone before, and the recipient of the call said, 'But you don't have an American accent!' And so he may well believe that he has covered himself this time, by emphaising that he has a Carribbean background. He sent this email from Togo, in West Africa, and it is most likely that he is a native West African. It is immaterial, though, where he came from. His story is untrue.

subject Good Day,

Good Day,
My Name is Sgt. Michael.Gogulski Jr , I am an American soldier with Carribean
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 (US$4,300,000M) Four Million Three Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars to you, as far as I can be assured that my share
will be safe in your care ,and there is no danger involved. Source of money.

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. Sgt
Kenneth Buff who saw part of this money with me,insisted that the money must be
shared among both of us before informing anybody about it, but the quetsion is
how and where should we keep this money without the knowledge of other higher
army officers,it 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
hellhole of which a roadside bomb killed my brother in-law last week.You will
find the story of this money on the web address below:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm
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 Envoy by the name of
Comrade Larry Owen and because his office enjoys some immunity, I was able to
get the package out to a safer location entirely out of trouble spot. He does
not know the real contents of the package.

I have now found a much-secured way of getting the fund out of Iraq to your
country for investment, and i will be discusing further with you regarding the
confidentiality of this venture after you receive this fund in your account.
With your williness and zeal in this brochure, I will be offering you 30% of
the total Sum, 65% for me and 5% to be donted to any notable charity
organization and less previleged.
Please feel to reach me,while leaving a message remember to include your Full
Name and your direct telephone .
