Default This must be dealt with.

I received this spam email a bit ago. I think we should all respond and help "Col. Gable"

Just imagine 1,000 Police Dept phone numbers in his inbox.


From: Col. Clarke Gable <col.clarkegable@msn.com>
Subject: Hi I'M Still Waiting For Your Reply.....
Date: September 15, 2009 862 AM MDT
To: undisclosed-recipients:;
Reply-To: col.clarkegable@terra.com

Col. Clarke Gable
27th Infantry Brigade
United States Army
Fallujah, Iraq.
Email: col.clarkegable@terra.com

Dear Honourable,
My name is Col. Clarke Gable of the 27th Infantry Brigade United States Army Fallujah Iraq. I'm contacting you on behalf of my team here in Iraq peacekeeping service; we needed your assistance to move an allocation {Funds} into your custody for safekeeping pending our final dismissal here any time this year...

However, I wish to remind you that I’m a soldier and I have no time to come over the internet for a child play, so please if you are not able to handle this transaction with utmost confidentiality please Do Not Reply.

If somehow you are interested in this proposal, kindly leave a message with your most confidential telephone numbers and I will get back to you with details.

Yours Respectfully,
Col. Clarke Gable

No surprise if the email traces back to Nigeria.

Default Re: This must be dealt with.

I mean sounds 100% legit...



wait what?

I hate posting things on craigslist and getting these similar things. People are getting ridiculous. Yesterday a co-worker got a text message saying he needed to verify his bank info for something. SO now it looks like they are getting cells now too, so be careful.

What's next? I had a "priest" contact me and now Fred has a "soldier" contact him. WTF? Blocking incoming spam emails now shields up
