It is a repeating pattern but not the less disgusting. Whenever bad things happens on the globe, the criminals are not far. This happened during hurricane Katrina, the tsunami in Indonesia, the earthquake in Haiti and now, not surprisingly in Libya as you can read in this blog post by Sophos: Violence in Libya exploited by email scammers

Exploiting the willingness of people to help, is terrible. We should be able to get this persons and then send them to jail for a loooooooooooooong time
