The Pittman WPA Scam

Some asshole is using the WPA Online Artfile to try to scam artists. If you get an email from ssgpittman115@yahoo.com, claiming to be from a soldier in Iraq, delete it and send the originator a mental curse in the name of some ancient god.

aggggj, I had the brilliant idea of replying to him with a sarcastic message saying that instead of taking the money out of Irak they should keep it because they need it more.
Well, this past Friday my gmail account shut down because it was compromised. After I was able to open it I noticed emails from Western Union. Apparently I wired money to Jordan to some Ahmed Something.
They used my email account to open a WU account, used the info from my web page (address and phone).
I don't know why but I think this guys behind the email had something to do with this.
