I received this in my personal e-mail today! What does everyone think of this? Not only is the FBI fighting terrorists, cyber crime, the most wanted criminals in the world, etc.. but now the head of the FBI has taken time out to personally endorse these nice people in Foreign countries that want to give us all money! in fact thay are now even giving us examples of the people that these kind souls have made rich! I am so happy fo all of us!!
Â
Does anyone know of a real link to an FBI e-mail address where I can send this? I would love to forward this scam on to them and maybe they will actually go after this scum now that they are using their name in their scams! In fact a friend of mine has a brother in the FBI, I think I'll forward this on to him and see if they are interested. Any other ideas would also be appreciated!
 Man, what a fool I am! Giving up my chance to be rich beyond belief!

That stinks!!!! I guess I better cancel the vacation homes, the limos, the caddies and the island in paradise that I was going to buy!
I sure hope no one falls for them.
(someone must or they would give up?)
I have gotten them before but I don't open them.
Delete and be done with it.
Good Hunting,
Angel
Good article thanks for the alert... I wonder if I could tell they to donate it all to charity and to email me a receipt so I can take it off my taxes...hmmmmm :)
Good luck with the FBI. They and the DOJ don't care who rapes you or how they do it.
Stirling, Sure i can be that bad if I really tried, but I am not guilty this time around!
Gail, you're also right because I just got that exact e-mail from the IRS that says "give us your money and like it"!
There should be an FBI office in your state somewhere. Send them a copy. They will probably just laugh but you will have made their day!

Here is an FBI alert to such E-mail scams
AN INCREASE IN INTERNET SCHEMES CLAIMING TO BE FROM THE FBI
01/04/08—We have increasingly received reports of fraudulent schemes misrepresenting FBI agents, officials, and/or FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III. The fraudulent e-mails give the appearance of legitimacy due to the usage of pictures of the FBI Director, seal, letterhead, and/or banners. The e-mails may also claim to come from our domestic or overseas offices.
The types of schemes utilizing the names of FBI agents, officials, or the Director's name are typically lottery endorsements and inheritance notifications. However, other fraudulent schemes include threat and extortion e-mails, website monitoring containing malicious computer program attachments (malware), and online auction scams.
The social engineering technique of utilizing the FBI's name is to intimidate and convince the recipient the e-mail is legitimate.
The FBI does not send out emails soliciting information from citizens.
Please be cautious of any unsolicited e-mail referencing the FBI, FBI Director Mueller, or any other FBI official endorsing any type of Internet activity.
If you have experienced this situation please notify the IC3 by filing a complaint at www.ic3.gov.
You can also get FBI e-mail alerts about scams at.
