The email I just received really pisses me off:

Dear Friend,

Please take some time off your busy schedule to read and respond to this
email as soon as possible. I am serving in Iraq (Mosul), and require your
help to take care of some personal financial matters for me, and of course
you will be adequately compensated with 5 million US dollars (US$
5,000,000) as your share for rendering this assistance.

Here is an idea on what i am trying to say:

You will have to give me some assurances that you will keep my identity
and other information's regarding this project to yourself, and will also
try to adhere to the terms we will agree on, especially the safety of the
part of resources that I will call my share, after you have taken the
figures we will agree on as your share,and how to preserve that belonging
to me until I complete my service here.

I will send you more details when I have a mail from you.


Regards,
Christopher Mauro.

I have to admit it's clever, but preying on people's sympathies for American troops, however one may feel about the war, is a scummy move even for scammer scum.
 
oh they were pretending to be from sadams faimily a while back.
 
Pretty sick.

Really though, would you expect any less from humanity?
