The FBI wants to give me $10,500,000.00!!! (Yeah right!!!)

 

Today, I received an email from Special Agent Fred Jones of the FBI’s Anti-Terrorist and Monetary Crimes Division. They claim to have deposited funds into my account (I never knew I had one with them). In addition, It appears that there is a hold on my account due to me not having a Diplomatic Immunity Seal of Transfer (what is it and why I need one is beyond my comprehension).

Nevertheless, it is quite obvious that this message I received is a scam. The sender is just trying to deceive me into sending them money (via western union of course). However, it is so sad that many people are deceived by these tactics. Therefore, I hope this article helps educate someone on the dangers of internet scams.

Here is a copy of the message:
