So today I got another spam email, the interesting that I noted was that "email to" area was empty...........

"Dear Partner,

My name is colonel Mark williams,an American soldier, I am in 1-22
Infantry Battalion here inIraq,We stumbled and discovered a hiden
concealed metal boxes belonging to late saddam hussien's family.we areable to break it open and inside was some jewelries,gold,preciious
stones and cash worth $45.5m usd. I need your help in keeping the
money that we moved from Ba'quba in Iraq safe. We have successfully moved this money
some months ago to a Security Company in europe. You know the funds
are legal and it is oil money.

Will you help?.I am still in iraq and i will be discharged soon but no
one knows when this War will be over. I dont want to take any chances of loosing the
funds.We are sharing everything 50/50. This is a legitimate
transaction.If you are interested, Please send your full contact details so that i
can reply you backasap.Can i trust you and will you help? Waiting for your urgent and
positive response.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask, I look forward to
hearing from you.

Yours Truly,
Colonel Mark Williams"

Sure, it is veeeery legitimate transaction.
The only "transactions" that will be occuring though, is you sending money to the scammer...

That's a new low. They've gone from exiled Nigerian princes to US soldiers now I see..

Definitely not new. The "US Soldier" scam format has been going around for a while now.

One reason I think they use it is because an American is more likely to trust a member of his country's military, than some "Prince Mbebawe Ngiakalmboboowa"
from a third world African nation.

just wait, i wouldn't be to surprised if one day they just email posing as us soliders asking for money.

hi, i'm so and so American solider with some battalion, could you send over a few bucks to help us out?

how many dumb saps do you think would fall for that one?
