This scam is clever enough to appear to be from Westernunion by using this email address in the sender field, [email protected], of course, the scammer does not have access to that email address which is why they have asked you to contact them at this free email address "[email protected]"

There is another example of the same scam posted which I found by doing a search on a line from the above email Click Here to see the search result.

The scammer in this case has gone to the trouble of paying a nominal amount to Western Union in order to make it appear he has sent you money.

The details he gives can be checked online to see if the money is available, if it is, it will say, "available for pick up" it does not give an amount sent.

Eventually the details will show as "picked up by receiver" as he collects his nominal fee and starts again.

After checking the details with Western Union, it seems the number is incorrect;

W0131 We do not have an order with the provided information. Please verify your information and click Check Status

From: "Sgt. Kevin Fenwick" <[email protected]>


To: My Dear Friend,

Good day and compliments, I know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine my future and continued existence.

Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Sgt. Kevin Fenwick, a US Marine Sgt. serving in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment that Patrols the Anbar province, Iraq. I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you. I am presently in Iraq and I found your contact particulars in an address journal.

I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of Nine Hundred Thousand US Dollars (Nine Hundred thousand USD) to the States or any safe country, as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here.

This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.

SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in various currencies was discovered and concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunition at a location near one of Saddam Hussein's old Presidential Palaces during a rescue operation and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us.

Click this link http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm

This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what?

No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hellhole.
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 with the UN here (his office enjoys 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 as he believes that it belongs to an American who died in an air raid, who before giving up trusted me to hand over the package to his close relative. I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for you to pick up. I do not know for how long I will remain here, as I have been lucky to survive 2 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention.

This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you then Endeavor to contact me and we would work out the necessary formalities but I pray that you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship.

Respectfully,
Sgt. Kevin Fenwick,
United States Marine Corps. IRAQ


Thanks, :bowdown:
MM!
