This morning at work we received a faxed letter from someone named Willam Barnes claiming to be a US Marine.  He needs help getting $11.5 million found in Iraq out of Kuwait.  Asking for "1) your full name, 2) the address where you want the box to be delivered, 3) your private telephone number where you can be reached 24 hours."  He asked to be contacted only at his e-mail address:  william.barnes@infantrymarine.com.

Yeah, I truly hope and pray no one falls for this scam.  I agree, Rachel.  This is shameful and disgraceful.

A huge thank you to all of the real servicemen and women serving in our military!

hilarious! ...in a sick kind of way!  You have to be really dumb to fall for this one.  My favorite part is near the end.
"Write back soon buddy."  Whaaa hahahahaha...lmmao

Came to work this morning and saw this fax. I read it and you have to be an idiot to fall for it. For someone trying to discreet, they sure babble about the $11.5 million to everyone. My first thought was Nigerian scam. LMAO

Just got the fax a few min ago. It sounds like most of you are from the USA, we are in Canada and now its spreading here, I heard about this fax last week. These people are horrible!

Received this fax today at my home in CANADA!  Perhaps the Marines should be deployed to Nigeria to search and destroy these degenerates.
Good Luck with finding them.

OK, I have received this fax about 8 times in the last 24 hours. What a pain. I'll try calling those numbers listed for Canada and see what happens. Waste of paper, waste of time, waste of ink... what's the point?

Called my local telephone provider and you can set up on your line something called "Call Reject Selective". It is $1.95/month CDN and it basically rejects that phone number. You can remove this feature at any time. Will wait and see whether any more faxes come in. Last one was at 4 a.m.

'Mister' Barnes is also attempting here in Belgium, just received a similar fax but without a phone number; he asks for the following details though : name, adress, private phone number en leaves an e-mailadress to respond to.

I got this fax too.. so they ask us for this information and then when we contact them ask us for our account numbers so they can steel all of our money? Has anyone fallen for this, thats reading this stuff? I just want to know how they do it. People like this piss me off. I got it at work and am going to show the director.

Just started getting multiple faxes from this one. Freakin' annoying. Wasting paper and my time. What happened to using a good ol' e-mail scam? Sheesh.

Got this in the from an email this guy is a trip he's been conversing with the family dog for over a month lol. You have to wonder if this guy shows up on my door step he will be very surprised for the cops will be here to welcome him lol

its the classic NIGERIAN 411 Scam that has been going on for years -  ITS not a NEW SCAM
They are looking for people to fall for it.  

IT IS ILLEGAL - BUT COMING FROM OUT OF THE COUNTRY

I just received a fax from this %$#^ calling "itself" a Marine. May Williams Barnes rot in Hell.

Same fax today 6/7/10 from 877-291-5413 with his email address as williams.barnes@infantrymarine.com.

We received this fax on our company too. I decided to look info up and I found several people who received it too. Also, I wondered if there was a marine with that name and I found this link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19468669/
Is a story of a Marine whose name is Bill Barnes

i just received an email requesting my fax number from this same individual so he could send me a top secret fax! lmao! i'm going to send him an email back alright. i'm also going to share his email address so we all can tell him to f*ck off!!  

williams.barnes@infantrymarine.com

btw, looks like he was dumb enough to purchase a domain name on top of it all.

karma. karma. karma.

Our office received the same fax from "William Barnes" early this year. The one we received today was a slightly re-worded version by "Robert Barnes" and the number, 250-984-3638 came through a landline in Victoria, British Columbia.
The sad thing is that there are people greedy and naive enough to fall for this scam.

I got this fax through this morning. I'm in Sydney, Australia. What an idiot. Surely no one would fall for this.
