Members of the USMF community:

 

Today the administration was forced to suspend the account of community member "captscottduke."

 

captscottduke signed up with seemingly legitimate information and once his account was approved for membership, this user started going hand-by-hand through the member list and sending out a scam private message. The message, which is included below, is one of the typical internet scams where individuals request recipients send money to help them out. NEVER send money to any persons sending emails or private messages similar to "captscottduke"'s message.

 

This member's account was deleted soon as it was reported to the administration. Please be aware that the sender being listed as "Deleted Member" in your PM box is this person. When the message was originally sent by the scam artist, it said it was from "captscottsduke." However because his account was deleted it only appears as "Deleted Member".

 

Banning is not something the administration here likes to do. However, sometimes a user makes it such that there is no other alternative. Spamming will not be tolerated among this community. Any member coming across similar postings, private messages, and/or emails is encouraged to report those posts to the USMF administration.

 

Thanks.

I and my Troops were alerted on the need of some Reconstruction works in Haifa Street, a long thoroughfare of high-rise buildings built and Occupied by Saddam Hussein when he was alive here in Baghdad. Immediately we proceeded to the site and as we commence work to our utmost surprise, we discovered an underground bunker in one of the Buildings. Upon investigation of the bunker to my surprise, we discovered one box safely hidden and sealed, I told my men to open the box in order to find out the contents of the box, and when they opened the Box, to My Amazement the box contained $13.2Million us dollars.

 

I have kept the Consignment box secured with a Senior United Nation Diplomat in Ivory Coast to keep for me as i am on my duty in Hafiz Iraq.
