Oh You… Spammers!
It’s amazing the tactics that these Spammers go through to try and steal money from you. This one is attempting to target our Patriotic feelings by claiming to be coming from an America Soldier.
Hello friend,
My name is Scott Whittington, I am an American soldier, I am serving in the military with the 1st Armored Division in Iraq , as you know we are being attacked by insurgents everyday and car bombs.We managed to move part of funds belonging to Saddam Hussein’s family in 2003.
The total amount is US$12 Million dollars in cash, mostly 100 dollar bills,this money has been kept somewhere outside Baghdad for some time but with the proposed troop in increase by president Barrack Obama, to end the suicide bombing and make peace with Iraq militant and terrorist ,we are afraid that the money may be discovered hence we want to move this money to you for safekeeping pending the completion of our assignment here.

Wasn’t this a movie with George Clooney? I seem to remember they found a stash of gold that Saddam had hidden away.
Think it still sucks though. What the spammers are doing.

I’m not sure… I wouldn’t doubt it. Stinking Spammers can’t have too many original thoughts!
Yeah I thought about that George Clooney movie too, “Three Kings” I think it was called.
Oh those spammers/scammers… I feel sorry for those not tech savvy enough to see right through it, I wonder how many money they might lose on this scam.

You know they have to be suckering someone else they would get the hint and give up at some point, right?
Haven’t received that one yet but I’ll be on the lookout. 🙂
Hi Rose, Thanks for stopping by!
I get one of these in some various form every now and again and it’s always amazing to me the lengths these people will go through to try and sucker someone in!
