Saddam Hussein Money Transfer Scam

It's amazing how these scammers feel no remorse in using the names of real people to make their scams sound more believable. In this case this scammer acts like he and one of his fallen military comrades found millions of dollars which had belonged to Saddam Hussein. Same scam, different story.

Here he wants you to help him transfer the millions for a generous commission. Of course once you give your information he'll drain your bank accounts and leave you holding the bag.

Hopefully one day some of these scammers will get caught. It would be a shame if this scam ever fell into the hands of the family of the fallen soldier he refers to in this email. They've lost enough as it is.

Here's this one....
