I too have recieved similar spam. You know how to end it, right? I tell them I would love to help, but first they must send me correspondence through their Military email address. I got 2 a few months back and haven't heard any more.

Yes, I get these too. When you get stuff like this, how many of you check the actual source of the email and forward it on to the abuse department for the email provider? I do, each and every time, unless it comes from a country where it is unlikely that anyone can speak English. The accounts are quickly terminated. If more people knew how to do this, some of this crap would stop before it got going. Sadly as well, there is always someone who will fall for these scams.
