[Krazy Kajun]

So, I just got this email this morning, a variation on the Nigerian email scam about wanting to share money with you. Only this time the scammers are claiming to be US military....what a shame...and a sham. Email text is below.

I know you will be surprise to read my email Please dont be skeptical to reply me. My name is Cpt. Kate Carr Lee. I am a member of the US ARMY medical team deployed to Iraq because of the current ISIS problems. I discovered trunk boxes containing American dollar bills. I have deposited two of these boxes with a security company here in Iraq. Am looking for a trust worthy individual who will assist me to receive the funds in his country before l will come over and join the person. Please, I want this to be between you and me since I am still in the service. To prove my sincerity, you are not sending me any money because most of these scams are all about sending money.

Sorry, dollar bills do not even tweak my interest. Keep looking till you find the ammo cans full of Benjamin's, I know they are there.
