In this week's Just Delete It, we take a look at the advance fee fraud e-mail.
The e-mail presumably from Capt. Marc L. McVicker, a US Marine serving in Iraq asks the recipient to help move a sum of $12,570,000 out of the war torn country.
The money was allegedly concealed near the ruins of Saddam Hussein's presidential palace when it was discovered by the Marine's unit.
McVicker promises more details to this mutually beneficial relationship once you contact him.

This e-mail is just another variation on the old Nigerian e-mail scam. Now, it uses our brave men and women serving overseas as it’s alias.
Once you contact the true sender of the e-mail, they'll request a fee that leads to other fees and all for a large sum of money that doesn't actually exist.
