How low can online scammers go?

 This new scam pretends to be a Marine in Afghanistan.  The scammer writes, in part, ""When on a routine mission of search and destroy, we stumbled upon a concealed barrel with piles of weapon and ammunition, my men and I agreed that the money be shared, the sum of $900,000.00 (Nine hundred thousand dollars) now happens to be my share.""

If/when you get anything like this, forward it to the Federal Trade Commission [spam@uce.gov] and your state's Attorney General.  In Arizona, the AG's email for this stuff is [communityservices@azag.gov]
