WASHINGTON (AP) - The top American general in Iraq says scammers have been making use of his Facebook page.
Looking at General Ray Odierno's Facebook page, you find out he's an Aerosmith fan -- and that Animal House is one of his favorite movies. If you see a plea for money, though, don't buy it.
Odierno says he's had several scam artists use his Facebook page to ask for money. He says one asks for $200,000 to have a loved one sent home early.
Odierno says Army investigators are chasing scammers who use social networking and mass emails to bilk military families. In the meantime, Odierno has posted a warning on his Facebook page.
He says anybody asking for money in his name is a scammer.
