One of the more creative “I’m a soldier in Iraq and or Afghanistan and I found a butt load of money” scams. My favorite part is the declaration “this is no stolen money and there is no danger involved”. Which is actually true, because, well, it’s entirely made up to begin with. Probably the only true thing in the letter.
Good day,
My name is Sergeant Brian Horn from LaPlata, Maryland. I am an American soldier with a Swiss background serving with the Army 3rd Infantry Division. I am in desperate need of your assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you, I found your contact particulars on an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to move the sum of Sixteen Million United States Dollars ( USD$ 16 Million) to you as far I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care until I complete my service here in Iraq & Afghanistan .
This is no stolen money and there is no danger involved, I am presently in a hospital recovering from injuries sustained in a suicide bomb attack.
See website for more details……………..(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stm)
SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in various currencies was discovered in barrel at a farm house near Saddam Hussan’s old palace in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescuer operation and it was agreed by Sgt. Gary Bourland and I that some part of this money should be shared among us before informing anyone about the discovery, this was quite illegal thing to do but i tell you what? No compensation will make it up for the risk we taken our lives in this hell hole of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last week.
The above figure was given me as my share to cancel this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a ( Canadian ) contact working here and his office enjoys some immunity I was able to move the money to a security company in ( Canada) as a diplomatic baggage. They are waiting for me to provide the name of the beneficiary who they will transfer the funds to, as a soldier I cannot present myself as the direct owner of this fund it against our code of conduct we are not allowed to do business and the US Government is planting a close watch on all military personnel that is why i need you to help me receive this fund.
The moment I get a response from you and you willing to help me I will forward all the details of the security company so you can contact them for immediate release, I want you to tell me how much you will accept for helping me receive this fund and for your mutual understanding.
One more passionate appeal please do not discuss this issue with anyone, should you have reasons to reject this offer please destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for us soldiers in Iraq, I don’t know how long I will remain here I have been shot, wounded and survived two suicide attacks by special grace of God, this and other reasons i will mention later has prompted me to reach you for help, I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately please get back asap,

I just got it today…. This is 3rd one i have gotten from this guy.
i sent Brian the address and phone number of fbi
I have several pictures of this man calling himself Sgt. Brian Horn. He asked me to pay for his leave and being an activated member of his phone logg, so we could talk on the phone. I also got two other names being used in this; Off.Peter Garcia and General John Hertz. I received mails from all three of them during this proces. I also have the leaveforms and the letter from General John Hertz aproval for the leave. He scammed me for 5000 US dollar and I am worried about all the other people being scammed by this man. I wonder whos identity they have stolen, not to menchen the pictures. I live in Norway, so this is happening all over the world. Don’t know what to do… Is there a way to stop these people from doing this?
I got it too.

Hello my good friend,how are you and your family I hope you cool.I know you might be a little bit surprised of what am about to share with you any way lets see how it goes.Right now as i speak to you,am located at Iraq for a peace keeping mission,but as you all know the US president has ask all military personnel to live Iraq before the year comes to its end.That not with standing the main reason for me contacting you is that, During the early hours of this Year me and my team were asked to take a secrete investigation at the most terrible city in Iraq during this period we happened to stormed at a cave and guest what? we found three(3)boxes of consignment that was hidden in a cave here in Ramada the capital-of AL-Anbar,and when we opened the boxes hold and behold the boxes where consignment of US DOLLARS. WHICH Worth OVER FIVE HUNDRED MILLION USD(500,000,000).There inside the cave we saw two humans dry bones on the floor Only God know what must had happened there.Due to safety reason me and my team kept this to ourselves,during that time the consignment was transferred to Africa to a friend of mine who has a security company over there in Ghana Accra.who is also a retired General in the united states Army.Right now as i speak not even one of my fellow team member is alive they all Die during the war.The reason why I sent you this message is that I want you to stand as a foreign beneficiary to help me to collect this funds of which 30% percent is going to be yours if you choose to help me.Please note that this is a secret between you and me.All I want you to do is, if you are willing and very much ready to help us,you kindly write directly to this email address(brian.horn@gmx.us)then i will give you the contact information of the General who will direct you on how to get the fund to your private account.please note this is a life time opportunity Just think about it and get back to me.Once again remember its risk free I bet you on that. Sergeant Brian Horn THANKS
