According to the BBC website US troops found hundreds of millions of dollars in Iraq in 2003 (they did). The news report adds that 5 soldiers were being questions after some of the money was believed to have been stolen.
Cue our scammer. What a golden opportunity. Our (fake) soldier can claim he stole some of the money. He didn’t – for the simple reason that he isn’t a soldier and didn’t serve in Iraq. It’s not the Iraqi people he wants to steal from, it’s you. He wants to take your money by way of advance fees.
Just delete his email and don’t reply.
