SPAM?

Hey, has anyone seen a spam message like this?



Can you please identify who this picture is claiming to be {name}@us.army.mil ?   This is a Federal Offense to pose as a Soldier of the US Army.  Please Identify yourself and explain why your pic is on this Soldiers Profile.  You can call {number}  Immediately to correct this.   If not a warrant for your arrest will be made.  You can also contact {name}@hotmail.com    to correct this.  




The strange thing is, googling for that number turned up some guy's personal website, who has the name and the email address.

Wait, I got it:  http://www.army.mil/article/97786/

I still don't understand how this scam works; the scammers appear to be asking me to contact another victim instead of themselves.  However, since this is likely a scam, I will refrain from replying and telling the person to go fuck himself.
