This was a short bait, but with a feature that you may find amusing.
The scammer's emails are date-stamped; his name has been changed (I've left the spelling of the first name intact because... you'll see). My comments are in bold.

With all respect, how could you take the money and gold? I thought that the US Army had policies against that!

Dear Sir
The consignment Box containing cash and gold is being handed over to the delivery guy named Juan Millet who will bring it over to your address but i like you get across to him as he is with my personal belongings and find out his whereabouts.Ever since i handed over the box to him here in Syria and i ve only heard from him once.He stated clearly that he is waiting to hear from my source whom to deliver the goods to his doorstep and since then i was still searching for reliable source.I need you to contact Juan Millet on this Email ...{REDACTED }.and follow him up.
Please always update me on whatsaap because most times i find it difficult to send mail due to my kind of job assigned to me.
Whatsaap Id..... REDACTED

Please don't use Army slang in the future if we're going to do business, and I won't use Marine slang either. Are we clear on this?
