This was an email I received and posted to the forum simply because of the scammer's amusing choice of name. I wasn't planning to bait this one - I already had several others running - but one of the other forum members asked me to reply. I'm glad I did.

I won the lottery! Well, no. Not a very successful bait overall, I seemed to be doing all the work, although I do think the WU receipt part was inspired, even if I say so myself! So not a total waste of time. Will be looking for an opportunity to use that (and the form) again.

This was a fun bait fitting in several of Del-Boy's famous escapades. There were several potentially funny moments that just didn't come off sadly.

Dear Friend,
I am interested in your company service.I am Capt Klein Hendelshaus with the US Army troops here in Afghanistan.
Based on the United States legislative and executive decision that we must evacuate Iraq immediately for Afghanistan, Now we are in Afghanistan military base and I will be redeployed back to my country military base soonest, come 2011, 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 10.2 million USD, which I got from crude oil deal in Iraq . I deposited this money with a Red Cross Agent informing him that we are making contact for the real owner of the money and it is under my power to approve whoever comes forth for the money.
I want to invest the money in a good business as soon as I am redeploy anyway you will advice me on that since I am not a businessperson.I am an American and an intelligence officer for 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.
Where we are now we can only communicate through our military communication facilities that are 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 wait for your contact details so we can go into action. In less than 5days, the money should have been in your position and I will come over for my money. I will give to you 30% of the sum and 70% is for me because I know that nothing goes for nothing I hope I am been fair to you.
I wait for your full details information:
Your Full Name………
Your Address…………
Your direct Tele Phone…..
Your occupation and Age
Regards,
Capt Klein Hendelshaus
