{Spam?} CAN I TRUST YOU!!

And this has been circulating for how long? And by how many different spammers, claiming to be with the military? Lots. And they are all giving our honest men and women who are honestly serving their country and risking their lives a big slap in their faces. “Scott Wright” isn’t in the armed forces and he doesn’t have any money that he wants to share with you. He’s a liar, who’s taken a genuine news article, copied and pasted a link into his spam e-mail, to make it look just a little more truthful. Did I mention that he’s also a thief who wants you to pay him money, by charging you ridiculous fees? If you receive this, hit the delete button, and show “Scotty” just how “Wrong” he is.

Stash of money found in Baghdad
Foreign currency worth nearly $200m has been found in a Baghdad neighbourhood, the US military say.
Troops found $100m and 90m euros in 31 containers, US Central Command said.
The money has been flown out of the country to a "secure location" for counting purposes and will eventually be returned to Iraq to help rebuild the country, the US said.
Last week, US troops found more than $650m in the same area of Baghdad.
Soldiers questioned
The latest banknotes were discovered between 23 and 26 April in an area of Baghdad secured by members of the US 3rd Infantry Division, according to a US statement.
The funds will eventually be returned to the Iraqis to help rebuild their nation US Central Command
It did not specify exactly where the money was found, although the funds were said to have been kept in containers.
The statement said the containers were flown from Baghdad International Airport on Sunday under an escort of police officers, criminal investigators and financial experts.
"The money arrived at a secure location for counting purposes at approximately 1030 that morning," the statement said.
"Soldiers of the unit in charge of the counting took approximately five hours to finish this count.
"Funds will remain secure until a stable government is established in Iraq and will ultimately be returned to the Iraqis to assist in the re-building of their nation."
The funds which were found last week are also being held at an undisclosed location.
The money had been hidden behind the false wall of a house searched by US troops. It is thought the stash could have been left by fleeing regime leaders.
Five US soldiers are currently being questioned by military officials after some of that money was allegedly stolen following its discovery. Story from BBC NEWS:http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/2/hi/middle_east/2988455.stmPublished: 2003/04/30 12:28:41 GMT© BBC MMIX
