1. Quite apart from the fact that I don’t think that there are too many “unknown American soldiers” in Afghanistan that have “fortunes” to leave to anyone. All things being relative, of course. I’m sure that the military life insurance would be considered a fortune to anyone in Afghanistan.

   Seriously, thanks for the warning. I hadn’t seen that one yet, but unfortunately, it’s probably only a matter of time.

   1. Cherie — coming to an email box near you ….

2. That’s morally objectionable even on the scam scale.

   1. Doug — it is like playing Limbo. How low can you go?

3. If I don’t know the sender, I never open the mail. Just press delete or transfer to spam and then delete.

   1. Gigi — I don’t have to open the mail. The review gave me enough to see. Aside from that, I have web-based mail so I am safe unless I am dumbe enough to download something.

4. He’s unknown, soooooo obviously he forgot to put his name on his own will, so they wouldn’t know who he is? Too bad he also lost his dogtags and wallet!
   ROFLMAO

   It’s actually frightening I think, that these scams get sent out because they actually *work* on the dim and/or the desperate, and there are a lot of folks out there in both camps.
   🙁

   1. Susan — I know. Someone will fall for this. That freaks me out and makes me sad.

5. These things slay me – how dense would you have to be to fall this. “Unknown” – yet they know what his will says. Puh-lease!
   .-= Mocha with Linda´s last blog ..Never Say Never! You Might Win these Giveaways! =-.

   1. Linda — I think desperate and greedy people fail to think.

6. There is a very special place reserved in hell…

   Dam
   .-= Nessa´s last blog ..Flash 55 – Buried Secrets =-.

   1. Nessa — indeed. Extra hot and uncomfortable.

7. There’s no such thing as an American unknown soldier anymore. They all donate DNA samples before they go anywhere. But yeah, a real sleazy plot.
   .-= southlakesmom´s last blog ..Sensational Haiku Wednesday =-.

   1. Kelley — thanks for that bit of info. It is very good to know!

8. I am thoroughly appalled and disgusted.
   .-= kcinnova´s last blog ..Random Dozen: Red or Pink? =-.

   1. Karen — ditto. This scammer would be in pain if s/he wandered into a room we all occupied.

9. A lot of Mr. Gull E. Bull’s mail seems to get where it doesn’t belong. It’s sad, though, there there are way too many Gull E’ Bulls out there.
   .-= Barbara H.´s last blog ..Wednesday’s Random Dozen =-.

   1. BArbara — yes. And every time I post one of these I thank God I am not one of them.

10. Who the hell is Gull E. Bull? hmmm ROFLMAO!!!
    .-= Thom´s last blog ..Guess Whose Back? =-.

    1. Thom — not the brightest guy in town, that’s for sure.

11. There are so many generous people out there who left me their fortune ! I also inherited from a african princess ! It’s so annoying that I forgot to buy a new Ferrari, and some diamonds !
    .-= Gattina´s last blog .. =-.

    1. Gattina — I know. I have scads of money, most recently I received a couple mil from a Nigerian widow whose banker husband died and left her with money she could not access for herself, but with the ability to give it away to a total stranger.

12. Oh no. When unknown American soldiers die in Afghanistan, the email SHOULD go to an unknown American!
    .-= Melli´s last blog ..Random Dozen #23 =-.

    1. Melli — I wish it was unknown to me!
