You might forward that to the base commander of the 10th Mtn. It is probably a scam from the Nigerians, under a different name...

So, you guys are saying I shouldn't have sent them my banking info?

[gandog56]

Sounds like a variation of the old Nigerian letter scam that I have been hit with about three times.

Hey guys,
I just received this today and I seldom get junk mail.

I remembered this thread and wanted to add this for people who have American Express accounts. I have NEVER had an American Express account, so I called foul when I first saw it, but the header images, etc appear authentic and may look like your American Express electronic info you are familiar with.

This is more advanced than the normal Nigerian emails, but may be from them too. I deleted all the links/http in case someone becomes curious. (I didn't 'click' on them)

These crooks need to be boiled in oil!
