Man, you sure get your share of these things don’t you? I just got one today saying that someone had won the lottery and decided to give the money to me–yeah, sure!
I printed an article recently that said these are crafted to rule out the 95% who can see through them. They are looking for particularly innocent people who believe that something like this could happen. It also strikes me that most times, these things are obviously cheating, even if they were true!
I just got that email from the so called FBI agent. I tried to email them and to tell them I’m sending the email to ic3.gov,,but it wouldn’t let me. Its the same kind of scam like another I got last month. It was from preditorswatch.com blackmailing me. They tell you that you are now an internet preditor and if you don’t pay them 100 dollars they will tell all you know that you are a preditor. That is a load of bull ****, I feel sorry for those who fell for it.
If you get an email from someone pretending to be the FBI, go to ic3.gov. and report them. It is a federal crime to pretend to be from the FBI, I don’t think it matters what contry you are in, either way they are screwed (sorry about my language, but its true).
Thanks for your input, Craig, and for the ic3.gov address. That is good information. I did edit your language; my 89 year old mother reads this blog. 🙂
I received the same email about the FBI agent and money from Nigeria left at airport. I do get scams and I like to read them when I need a good laugh, but this is the first one that ever threatened to have me arrested in 72 hours! Well, I figured if I type into my Google search, I would find others who supposedly have $4.1 million at the airport. The very first scam of this sort was about 4 years ago and it had something to do with a widow lady in a country that her husband died of cancer and she wanted to give me 2 million to help others. I was so dumb and I called my good friend and told her all about it! I was so excited to have all that money! She started laughing at me kindly and said it was a scam and she got the same one! I couldn’t believe it at first, but I do now. I read them now just to laugh. I’m glad I’m not being prosecuted for money laundering! Ha, Ha, Ha!
I to received the same thing but mine is a letter. and the name on mine is John Edwards. the letter says confidentiality notice letter
LLOOLL, and don’t you wonder why they target us??
