Has anyone gotten this phishing email lately?
FREE HEROIN SHIPPING!
1. Heroin, in liquid and crystal form.
2. Rocket fuel and Tomohawk rockets (serious enquiries only).
4. New shipment of cocaine has arrived, buy 9 grams and get 10th for free.
Everebody welcome, but not US citizens, sorry.
ATTENTION. Clearance offer. Buy 30 grams of heroin, get 5 free.
Please contact: (Don't contact; Omitted)
PHONE (Omitted for safety)
FAX (Ditto)
Afghanistan
Seriously? Smack, crack, and contraband heavy ordnance? And of course they've specified "serious enquiries [sic] only" for the high octane fuel and missiles. No tire kicker's allowed, apparently.
As post-Army, I already have a line on where to forward these things, and there's a decent reward if the tip turns up anything substantial, but the chances of that are slim. The sender of this email obviously shotgunned it when sending, since there were several other email addys that shared at least the first three or four first letters at my own. Had he or she known I'm post-Army (I hesitate to use the moniker "ex-Army", as it connotates someone who left the service under questionable conditions), this person would probably not have emailed me. Or maybe that's exactly why I was contacted, on the chance I was a "disgruntled" service member or something.
Anyway, if you get an email like this, for the love of Mike, print it out and give it to your local FBI office, or even your local Social Security office, since they could pass it right along to the FBI. This is definitely not your typical Nigerian Bank scam.

Lol, just noticed, "Not open to US Citizens". Right. Also, why aren't my italics working?
