We are moving it by diplomatic means to your house directly or a safe and secured location of your choice using diplomatic courier services. Can we trust you? Once the funds gets to you, you take your 30% out and keep our own 70%. Your role is to find a safe place where the funds will be deliver.

Your buddy,

Or should I just sign him up for the b3ta newsletter?

*EDIT* Just to make this clear, [email protected] is not my email address, neither do I know who this person is...they sent this to me randomly.

This looks like someone sending on behalf of someone else (unless Sgt Brian Bevan is an alias for Alastair King) - this should raise an alarm bell.

PS. A bit of advice: Don't post people's e-mail addresses in public - it generates lots of spam.

If this is a 419...
...then spam should be the least of his worries!

419'ers deserve a lot worse than spam
but if Chickenlady gets into the habit of posting e-mail addresses, she may accidentally unleash a torrent from the spam floodgates.

@ Spakka
I would never dream of posting someone's email address usually, but this got through my spam filter, I don't know them and it's clearly a scam.

They deserve all they get.
