That email address does not come up with a clean, direct result when Googled, so though it may be legit, I doubt it- smells to me like you're being phished.

Gotta hand it to em, the phishers are getting more creative.

ZZZZ, the 359th is a reservist group that is no longer IN Iraq. Their tour ended in April. April 7th to be exact.

It's a scam and one that you should report to CID at either the nearest US Army base OR to the CID at the base in New Haven Connecticut where those reservist are stationed.

I would forward that email with full headers to them, explain what it is and let them handle it.

WhoEVER this POS is...they NEED to have a couple ol' boys with body armor and M-4s adjust their thinking processes for them! ;~)

By the way, Lt. Col. Dennis E. Dockery WAS their commander in Iraq. If you contact him, he MAY be able to put you onto who to turn that over to.

If you get spam email that you think is deceptive, forward it to [email protected]

FTC - SPAM - Home Page

Forward means just that...

... don't cut and paste the message body...

... they need the header info of the email to trace it back to its origin...

... forward the entire message.

Do not call the military. Forward to [email protected]

Thanks. I usually just delete most spam but I have to glance over them without opening them to make sure legit e mails are not mistakenly placed there. This one looked different because it was military. I had already deleted the e mail but forwarded the contents. Thanks for the address, I am always getting spam about deals and winning stuff but just delete them without looking at them.

Hey, it ain't all spam. I'm currently awaiting a vast sum of money from a nice man in Lagos, Nigeria. And I hardly had to do anything to get it. It was sure my lucky day when he picked this stranger out of millions and millions of others, huh?

Yeah, they're getting really sleezy. A friend met "someone" on a dating site that tried to pretend to be a soldier in Afghanistan. Things got fishy when "they" wanted to know my friend's mother's maiden name!!! Why would you need to know that, except if you're trying to steal someone's identity?

 

[ABikerSailor]

I hope they catch this sleazeball.

 

[whitehall]

My guess is that you will be asked to deposit a couple of thousand in a bank to show good will so that you can share in the treasure that Capt Hall will bring back. Go ahead, It sounds like a good deal.

[goldnlove424]

yes I recieved it in my spam as well ,I live in WV and other than my son bieng in the national guard nhave no military ties at all. I also recieved an email in spam as well saying I had 2 packages that needed to be delivered,thats why I came here after I typed in the 395th I saw the post from someone else who recieved it as well,anyone have any ideas? this kind of thing scares me!

 

[philomel]

The message I got is exacrly the same except it was from Trevor Hall also a Captain.
Both of these captains are sending the same message to aparently lots of people and what's even more weird is it came from Korea.
Yes the originating location according to my sources is Korea so, I imagine it is not real and reporting it would be useless because there are millions of them floating around the web asking fish to bite on the bait.
Maybe they need help. Right, the admin building is yards away but they are asking you, several thousand miles or is is KM away, to help them and they are going to make you rich. How are they going to ship it off base past security??
Will they pass it through Base OOPS? not.

I also win millions without ever having HEARD of the lottery!
