I recently got an email from a Captain Steve Rogers.

His email is [email protected]

i typed in gncn.net and found a very fake looking japanese/chinese site.

He wants to send me 25 million dollars to hold on to, because he is a soldier in the middle of war, and needs a safe place to send this money. He did however send a very convincing email.... i don't know what to do

If someone could help i'd appreciate it.
Thanks!

Dave? It's a standard scam. Ignore and delete. DO not continue replying to him.

I love some of the names these scammers come up with. That is actually a pretty famous name of none other than Captain America!

Oh and google that email address if you want any further proof.

I deleted direct of post above. It is ^^^ up there. ~Bubbles

lol yeah. but what could a scammer get from my address? he keeps asking for me to tell him my address so he can ship me 25 million to keep safe for him. And he also gave a pretty fake looking id: Image
i just wonder what someone can gain from an address. i thought scammers just went for credeit card #'s...

They ask you that information to legitimize their scam and to find out if they have you hooked. It wouldn't make much sense to send you $25 million if he does not have an address to send it to. If you do send him your information he will also know you are serious about getting the fake money. What he is after are the fees you will need to send him via Western Union or Money Gram to get the fake money released to you. He doesn't care where you live since he is not really sending you the fake money. He is however a criminal and not someone I would willingly give my address to.

Just stop communicating with him and he will go away.

I send the email address of another scammer and they can get along happily sorting it out between them. Sadly I never get to know the outcome but I guess it wastes their time . :laugh-s:
