The FBI is going to make me a millionaire!

[Tez3]

Wow, the head of the FBI has just sent me an email to say that I'm going to get $5,900,000 because they have stopped a scam, how lucky am I! It will only cost me $250 to get the ATM card which will allow me to get 'my' money.

It's a tad better set out than the usual scams I must admit, I usually just delete them but as this is from the 'FBI' is there a fraud office I can send it on to? I got one from the Bank of America a while ago telling me I'd has a tax rebate paid in etc, I was told to send it to the real bank which I did.

Cheers for that, although these scams seem quite funny they are actually a criminal action, there may be nothing that can be done but if it's not reported there certainly won't be anything done. I don't think the director of the FBI would be happy to be used in these scams either!

There was a site where guys would really mess with these scammers. Will try to find it if I can.

They really do have a cheek though, they actually warn about people pretending to be from the FBI then at the end they give a warning about scams! I do wonder about 'Ben from FedEx' though lol.

That's why I got excited at all that money due to me, everyone knows that the FBI office in Nigeria ( where all the people are honest) is going to be the best office ever! I do think the name 'Bar Lord Ruben' adds to the authenticity though

I know a Nigerian Prince who might be able to get the $250 fee waived.

I was thinking last night that perhaps these scams aren't just a get rich quick scheme, considering what is going on in Nigeria with the terrorists it may well be that any money made is going to them. It wouldn't be the first time terrorism is funded by criminal activities.
