Forget the Nigerian spam scam; now it's a take-off on Three Kings
<http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=security&articleId=9018838>
A twist on the classic Nigerian e-mail scam that steals from the plot of
the George Clooney movie Three Kings is hitting in-boxes, Symantec Corp.
said Monday.
In these e-mails, a U.S. soldier based in Iraq claims that he has found
a horde of cash or gold, a plot point central to the 1999 film. The
e-mail explains that the total "haul," which is often pegged at $750
million but can vary wildly from spam run to spam run, has been split
among the men who found it. The soldier's take: $20 million.
Unfortunately, after he was cashiered from the army and returned to Iraq
to work as -- tugging at the heartstrings -- a humanitarian worker, he
was injured by a roadside bomb and now is on his deathbed.
"The doctors have told me point blank that I would die at any moment,"
the soldier writes in the spam message.
