Over the past week I've received this Spam a number of times, most with a subject line something along the line of "4 our troops", "For our troops at Christmas", or "support our troops". Have you seen it? It's sort of disgusting how it takes our support for our troops and tries to steal our money away from us and, indirectly, away from those we care for. Here's the message with the URL they ask you to click on (I changed it so no-one can actually click it) ...

"SEND A PRE-PAID PHONE CARD TO A LONELY SOLDIER OVERSEAS
http://www.tecXXXXXXys.com/solider/ ((N.B. Notice the spelling? That`s a good sign of Spam.))
Our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are thousands of miles from home: lonely. exhausted. aching to hear the sound of a loved one's voice. Your gift now can help the USO send thousands of prepaid phone cards overseas, so that husbands, wives, and sweethearts. Moms, Dads, and their kids. can share a few precious moments for free.
Our GIs are putting their lives on the line for us. Isn't this the least we can do for them?

The USO, a great organization, does accept financial help but DIRECTLY to them or through their official website... not through any third party. This disgusting Spam is NOT from the USO!!
