With American troops being stationed in Iraq now in it’s 6th year, it would seem that stories like this would be long gone. It would be unlikely that such sums of loot would still be hidden away or undiscovered.
But then, the occupation has been the basis of many e-mails since the invasion.
This is no different. It is a classic 419 scam.

Dear Friend,
Good day and compliments, I know this letter will definitely come to you as a huge surprise, but I implore you to take the time to go through it carefully as the decision you make will go off a long way to determine my future and continued existence. Please allow me to introduce myself.I am Capt. Cole Morgan, a US Marine Capt. serving in the 3rd Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment which Patrols the Anbar province, Iraq.
I am desperately in need of assistance and I have summoned up courage to contact you. I am presently in Iraq and I found your contact particulars in an address journal. I am seeking your assistance to evacuate the sum of $12,570,000 (Twelve million Five Hundred and Seventy Thousand USD) to the States or any safe country of your choice, as far as I can be assured that it will be safe in your care until I complete my service here. This is no stolen money and there are no dangers involved.
SOURCE OF MONEY:
Some money in various currencies was discovered and concealed in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunition at a location near one of Saddam Hussein’s old Presidential Palaces during a rescue operation and it was agreed by all party present that the money be shared amongst us.This might appear as an illegal thing to do but I tell you what? No compensation can make up for the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole. The above figure was given to me as my share and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me, so with the help of a German contact working with the UN here(his office enjoys some immunity)I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot.He does not know the real contents of the package as he believes that it belongs to an American who died in an air raid, before giving up trusted me to hand over the package to his close relative.
I have now found a secured way of getting the package out of Iraq for you to pick up. I do not know for how long I will remain here as I have been lucky to have survived 2 suicide bomb attacks by Pure Divine intervention. This and other reasons put into consideration have prompted me to reach out for help. If it might be of interest to you then Endeavour to contact me and we would work out the necessary formalities but i pray that you are discreet about this mutually benefiting relationship.
Contact me via my private box: capt.morgancole@gmail.com . so that I can
furnish you with more details.
Respectfully,
Capt. Cole Morgan
United States Marine Corps. IRAQ.

you a smart guy thi is you a i see you page on internet if you don’t mine thank you contact me you send me a email remenber thank
I received a similar letter from this so call solider and what breaks my heart is that my nephew served in the Marine corp and was killed in 2004 in fallujah and it hurts me to know that people are scamming on be half of the marine corp and that they are disrespecting what the marine corps stands for. Shame on him.
Jill,
sorry to hear of your loss.
You are completely right, these people have no morals at all. They work on the premise, bad news is always good news….
for them.

Captain Morgan is still up to no good, In the last two days he has contacted me. My father served in the Airfroce for 32 years and what a shame that he has nothing more productive to do than waste peoples time. As the saying goes if it is to good to be true it is FAKE….. I feel sorry for him. But what scares me how does he get our email addresses?
Sgt,
you are right, it is a fake. Captain Cole Morgan is a fake too. He is just figure conjured up by African 419 crooks.

Yes i have only just started getting these emails, captain morgan, oh and my favortie is the the one i recieved a week ago something about the queen has $1,000,000.00 for me that i had won, i would really like to know how they got my email.
Although I’m sure all of us wiser recipients of his messages believe that “Capt. Cole Morgan” should be court marshalled, we must remember that Kharma is real, and she can be likend to the mother of a puppy. What this “Capt.” sows, so shall he reap, in even greater quantities.
