From the FBI:
We have received reports concerning multiple e-mail hoaxes claiming to be from a soldier deployed to Iraq. The individual claims to possess millions of dollars and requests assistance in moving the funds. The funds allegedly came from a soldier who was an orphan and recently died while on a mission in Iraq. The individual claims he needs assistance donating the funds to an American orphanage.
This e-mail is a hoax. Do not respond to it.
Be cautious when responding to requests delivered through unsolicited e-mail:
Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as officials asking for donations through unsolicited e-mails or requesting help delivering funds to a charity or other program.
If you donate to a charity, ensure the contributions are received and used for the intended purposes. Contact recognized organizations directly; don’t rely on others to make the donation on your behalf.
