I love it when Nigerian Scammers try to imitate our troops. It makes me laugh. What doesn’t make me laugh is when people fall for their shtick! Take “Sgt David Dover” for instance. According to Army Databases, there is no such animal (a birdie told me so). If no such person officially exists, who could this be?

Sgt David Doover

Oh, there’s where I went wrong. I was looking for a Sgt David DOVER, not DOOVER. Silly me for looking for the person he originally introduced himself as. Be right back, folks.

Okay, not even ONE David Doover. But, let’s analyze the good SGT Dover’s request here for a bit. Did you notice this little slip of the tongue: “One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this misinformation…” Hehe. I’m giggling here. David Sneakers is giggling. I feel like Ahmed the Dead Terrorist. I also think that Mr. Dover has a stuttering problem. He seems to repeat himself often. His grammar is terrible, which I guess COULD be indicative of an Army Sergeant. After all, the Army Times recently reported that Officers are smarter than NCOs.

This dude is a serious combat vet. He’s been “shot, wounded and survived two suicide bomb attacks by the special grace
of God” and probably also suffered burning issues with VD and mono. The only thing missing from his letter is a prescription to Monostat 7.

I hope no one is falling for this one.

  1. I figured you’d get a kick out of that…

  2. Do these people believe that folks will actually fall for this hoax?! Yeah, I caught the misinformation part, maybe there is some truth in his e-mail after all! Ha!

    • Donna:

      I’m an ignorant baffoon who is so engrossed in hate and rage against President Bush that regardless of the subject matter, I have to find a way to talk about them. It may be that I’m physically attracted to them, but I’m not ready to admit that yet. I’m not intelligent enough to have an normal conversation beyond those parameters, so forgive me for failing to engage in real conversation. I have no doubt that my gravestone will bear the phrase “I’m dead. I blame Bush/Cheney.”

  3. Perhaps some would best serve the world by stuffing their head into their stocking for Christmas to catch the garbage that regularly spews forth. Some people just shouldn’t be allowed too near the eggnog, it damages what brain cells they pretend to have left subjecting the rest of us to ignorance.

    Merry Christmas!

  4. Wow CF what an astute assessment of the situation. Thanks for sharing!! LOL

  5. I really don’t care if some one there believe this trash or not, what makes me furious is that now this people are using “I’m an army, Navy Or Marine serviceman” Like this heroes don’t have enough garbage send their way, now this, come on give them a brake.

  6. How do these scam artists get e-mail addresses?
