419/Iraq Variant

Regular readers of this blog are well aware that the 419 scam is also known as the Nigerian Scam. It gets its name from the legal code (419) that was put in place in Nigeria in order to try to chase the people who are making money off of these scams.

There is currently one going around that preys on those who want to help troops in Iraq.

It is not my place to comment on the intelligence of the people that fall for this sort of thing, but I will at least do my part by trying to get the word out about it.
