received 2 emails from Robert S Mueller, III of FBI stating I as a fund beneficiary from Nigeria have 10 millions dollars waiting for me and I must send the proper info to collect or I could get into trouble. I do not have any monies coming to me or have any waiting for me from anyone. At the age of 80 I would not have any inheritage from any where, nor would my 81 year old husband. Don't know if this is an official letter or not as I can not get through to the fbipost.[protected]@2.pl. Any advise?
This person is trying to scam you.
While Robert S. Mueller, III is the current Director of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation this email was not sent by him.
The FBI does not ever email people, they will call and meet face to face if needed.
If you are still worried I would print out a copy of this email and go to your local Police station or submit a complaint to the Internet Crime Complaint Center.
I recieved an email from this apparent person a few days ago and did some research as I did not want to get in trouble as I had done nothing wrong.
Check the email address where this email came from. I am sure the FBI would have their own .com (eg : Robert.Mueller@FBI.com or similar.
I would not stress about it.
Unfortunately I get about 8 similar emails to this every 2 days. If they were all true I would have Millions upon millions of dollars owing to me.
I wish.
Don't feel bad... there are so many scams out there.. I got the same email except the name on it is Robert Miller...it is attached below:
I wish people could catch these fraud emails...it gets old really quick

I to am recving these e-mails And it is really taking over my junk mail.It's three to four times a day, I get these. I do wish who ever is doing this would get caught.
These people are draining elderly people of all there money. My father gets these emails all the time he has sent them thousands of dollars and is so in debt and living in low imcome housing. He sends them money instead of paying his bills. His next move will be a nursing home and not a nice one because no one in his family has any kind of money and he is not moving in with any of his children for a lot of reasons. Why can't anything be done about these scam artists.
Here is the most recent e-mail the Nigerian are sending :KNOWN SCAMMERS/CONS/PIRANAS...
D'ont feel that you owe these low lifes one cent. As previously mentioned if moneys where owed to you a legit. letter would arrive registered by the proper governement party...or the tax man would advise you legitemately, not via e-mail. The governemnet already has your info, submitted when you do your taxes each year! They don't even have your info, if so why would they need you name, address, BANK INFO -RUN
Hi, Jay Here ... I've Reported a number of these to the FBI, they say that due to International laws they can't do anything. WELL...
It sounds kind of crazy but why don't we the people set up our own tracking and reporting site for this specific type of scam that literally targets the most vulnerable in our society.
It's not just the elderly, but with the way the economy is going I think that there are more and more desperate people who want to believe it could be true, so it seems if we don't do something, besides wait for the government to act, their "EVIL" business will increase more and more as things get worse. If you don't think it's gonna get worse then you need to go ahead and pull your head out of the sand, I'm being nice here, and open your eyes!
Our government just spent nearly a "TRILLION" dollars on programs that will do little to help the average person.
Why not invest a small amount to help the "vulnerable " in our society to keep the hard earned savings they have worked so hard to acquire. This could easily be done by Homeland Security or a small detachment of specialists already employed by the F.B.I., Oh, I'm sorry that makes way to much since to even be considered by the bunch we've elected to be our representatives in Washington...
WHAT WAS I THINKING! :)
PLEASE RESPOND TO: jscot6202@msn.com
These scammers must think that we Americans are really easy to
convince that we have monies that are just going to fall out of the sky.
It is a real shame that they are taking advantage of our elderly! May GOD remind them of that when they reach the pearly gates.
Chip
this guy is so stupid to think that I am going to send him 197.00 in usd, oh the letter told us that I died in a auto accident and is waiting for me to send the money, because he was the beneficiary he's crazy I think that who ever sends him any kind of money is dumb.
HI, I too have been receiving these emails. They are taking up to much of my time... for something that is never going to happen. Well now that I am done venting LOL. I would like to say this to Dawn, who has written about her father and how he is sending these people money, and yet not receiving his funds that they say are due to him. IF you can get on to your Dads computer and into his email Perhaps he can show you one of the e mails that he is sending money too. YOU CAN BLOCK THIS. When your in the email hit the REPLAY button, like your going to send them an email back ( but your not). Once the window with the email is opean, you can copy the email address that it came from. ( or write it down. ) Once done close that window. On the top left side in your email you will see, file, edit, view, tools etc. Click on tools, when the window opeans go down to MESSAGE RULES, when the little window opeans go down to the bottom that say's BLOCKED SENDERS LIST, and click on that. Then click on ADD, then a little window will opean, and you can past or type in the email address that you just copyed or wrote down. Then click okay.. This is if you have outlook express this is how I do it on my computer. Also you will see, to the left there are two other tabs one say's MAIL RULES. In here you can type all the words you do not want to receive into your email... Yes you have to type all the dirty words and the swear words too. BUT you only have to do it this one time and you can always go back and add words. This will keep porn out and other unwanted stuff... IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE HOME THAT USE THE COMPUTER I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS. Of course the odd unwanted email does some how make it through ... I know, I know.. what can you do. I do hope this helps not just Dawn with her father but anyone else intrested in stopping a lot of the garbage emails we get. TO YOUR EMAIL HEALTH AND HAPPENESS.
I was scammned by two men in the last year one from Nigeria and one from Ghana the one in Nigeria uses the Central Bank of NIgeria as where my money is suppose to be at but not $10.5 million he owes me only $43, 000.00 I can't believe that they still think I am going to be still vunerable to them enough is enough with these scam artists I wish they would all rot in jail. The real FBI needs to be going after these culprits and stopping them.
Hello i just got the same email from "Robert S. Mueller" to ... i know it is a SCAM, i have been get heaps of these from Nigeria ...
please dont reply to them ...
They should be looked into by the real FBI ...
Received today an aggressive, threatening (verbal) attack about not getting lottery funds
due me because I was too lethargic to do or follow the directions given me last week, (I
think Lotteries are ridiculous so after having been written to during the last 4
years) rather similar letters of promises of huge sums of money if I either invest lots of
personal details about myself and of course: money to a specific important person, the
rewards financially would be amazing . . luck ! . . .up in the millions of dollar, euros or
British pounds.
The main symtoms of these frauds /"confidence trickster games" are that you must invest
money to a specifically appointed place, person or code name. My machine does do its best
to separate these letters but a few get through. At first I got a bit enthusiastic but suspicious
and checked with our consumer "police" who then told me that lots of people get this type
of mucky letter.
I am bothered everyday by medical companies who try to sell me every drug under the sun
especially for dieting, heightening of romantic potential like Viagra ! etc. IT ALL GOES IN-
TO THE Internett waste basket. It is illigal to receive drugs internationally by mail where I
am living.
I have tried to tell this to the stupid people who work to advertize their products but the
same companies never get tired of advertising!
_____________________________________________
Luckily, "snail mail" is still being used and the FBI would most certainly
never write personal demand letters on the internett. There are still embassys and the
systems mostly everywhere still work and there ARE helpful people in the police force. If not
why not!
Throw the letters away in your INTERNETT WASTE BASKET & NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR
DETAILS! and especially BANK DETAILS; CODES OR CHECKS.
to these greedy evil people. There is nothing for nothing in this world. When people offer you
millions of dollars and you are sure that you have never partaken in a lottery in Southern
Italy or in Somalia or Nigeria it has got to be a HOAX. Even if they say it will go to poor
orphans and you must submit and received huge amounts first. Be suspicious.
Evil as well as Good is rampant. If you can´t discern for yourself, find a person you KNOW
who is trustworthy and ask their advice.
This "Complaints Board"site was helpful to me in confirming my suspicions about the letter
I received, today. It has nearly the exact same wording as one of the pages sited.
From Hollywood, Newspapers etc. & lots of other media, the FBI & CIA are made out to be
very intimidating organisations. Evil people play on our fears! Don´t let them get away with
it! " There is nothing to fear but fear itself"
I keep getting these too, I know all of you feel it is really starting to annoy me that they think a 23 year old house with a child on the way is that stupid to send them what little money she earns from her husband being in the marines. I think it is BS that they have nothing better to do then to scam hard working people or even less then fortunate people out of their cash. From what I see there is nothing we can do but keep deleting the junk mail a hope they get caught real soon. Just so you know aiding these people in any way is a crime I do advise all of you to not respond or send cash. I'm not sure what the max penalty is for doing so, but it will end badly for you.
I get several of these emails every week (accidentally clicked on a link in one and have been deluged ever since). Aside from the scam alerts, there are things that should tip you off that this is a scam -- first, the FBI would never send an email for something like this -- that's what registered mail is for; second -- the grammer is hideous -- I would hate to think the director of the FBI cannot use common punctuation and grammer properly; and third, if someone were trying to give you money, they would not threaten you for not responding!
I find these items tend to be consistent across the scam emails I receive. Keep these in mind, and you'll be less likely to be scammed. Also -- if you have "spam" button on your email (I do wiht AT&T) use it -- it marks the sender as a spammer, and seems to be cutting down on the email I am getting.

I too have received such e-mails and have often wondered why the FBI can't help in stopping such scammers. There are scam e-mails stating person or persons that are ill and have no next of kin but don't want the money to be lost or the government seizing it. At the end of most, if not all, you have to send personal information or pay a small fee to be able to receive this money. If it is an inheritance, why a fee? Why not just take it from the millions that you supposedly are inheriting. Same with all the other e-mails that implicate a fee. All of it is b.s. and someone really needs to stop it.
As for the FBI e-mail, I must admit it scared the hell out of me but after doing research and finding this blog I don't feel intimidated at all.
I've received this email as well and for someone that is gullible the capitalized threat saying
"VALID UNTIL 21TH OF JUNE 2009 AFTER WE SHALL TAKE ACTIONS ON CANCELING THE PAYMENT AND THEN CHARGE YOU FOR ILLEGALLY MOVING FUNDS OUT OF NIGERIA ."
Can be intimidating.
Just delete.

NOTIFICATION! NOTIFICATION! NOTIFICATION!
This is an official advice from the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (FBI). It has come to our notice that some certain individuals have used your name as the beneficiary of funds worth Millions of United States Dollars from abroad. These individuals with their collaborating banks knowing fully well that they do not have enough facilities to effect this payment from any part of the world to your account, used what we know as a Secret Diplomatic Transit Payment (S.T.D.P) as well as the ATM card system to pay this fund which has not been completed till this day.
Direct transfers are difficult and Secret Diplomatic Transit Payment (S.T.D.P) are not made unless the funds are related to terrorist activities and we ask why must your payment be made in secret transfer if your transaction is legitimate.We do not want you to get into trouble as soon as these funds reflect in your account, so it is our duty as an International Commission to correct these little problems before this fund is credited into your personal account.
However, due to the increased difficulty and security by the American authorities when funds come from outside of America and Europe. The F.B.I Bank Commission for Europe has stopped your transfer. We govern and oversee funds transfer for the World Bank and the rest of the world. We advice you to contact us immediately, as the funds have been stopped and are being held in our custody, until you are able to provide us with a Diplomatic Immunity Seal of Transfer (DIST) document within 3 days from the Country that authorized the transfer from where the funds was transferred from to certify that the funds that you are about to receive are terrorist/drug free or we shall have cause to impound the payment and subsequent prosecution. We shall release the funds immediately we receive this legal document and make sure that you get your payment without any further delay.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We decided to contact you directly to acquire the proper verifications and proof from you to show that you are the rightful person to receive this fund, because of the amount involved. Be informed that the funds are now with a top bank in the United State in your name and under the monitoring/custody of the FBI.
At the moment, we have asked the bank not to release the fund to anybody that comes to them, unless we instruct them to do so, this is to enable us carry out a comprehensive investigations first before releasing the fund to you. Hence, you are to forward the document to us immediately if you have it in your possession, if you do not have it, let us know so that we will direct you where to obtain the document and send to us. Thereafter, we will ask the bank holding the funds, to go ahead and credit your account immediately. FBI Identification Record and Diplomatic Immunity Seal of Transfer (DIST) often referred to as a Criminal History Record or Rap Sheet is a listing of certain information taken from fingerprint submissions retained by the FBI in connection with arrests, and in some instances, federal employment, naturalization, or military service.
This Condition Is Valid until after 30 days upon receipt of this notice, thereafter we shall take actions on canceling the payment and then charge you for illegally moving funds out of the country under the
jurisdiction of the United Nations.
GUARANTEE: Funds will be released on confirmation of the
document.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Instruction;
1. Credit payment instruction: Irrevocable credit guarantee.
2. Beneficiary has full power when validation is cleared.
3. Beneficiaries bank in U.S.A. can only release funds.

If you fail to provide the Documents to us, we will charge you and take appropriate action against you for not proving the legality of the funds. The United States Department of Justice Order 556-73 establishes rules and regulations for the subject of an FBI Identification Record to obtain a copy of his or her own Record for review.
The FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) division processes these requests to check illegal activities in USA and beyond. An individual may request a copy of his or her own FBI Identification Record for personal review or to challenge information on the Record. Other reasons an individual may request a copy of his or her own Identification Record may include international adoption or to satisfy a requirement to live or work in a foreign country or receive funds from another country, i.e. Diplomatic Immunity Seal of Transfer, letter of good conduct, criminal history Background, etc.) We look forward to hearing from you. Be rest assured that your individual rights will be protected, while we ensure that you receive your funds. We are sorry for what you have gone through and we want to provide justice.

ATTENTION: Fund Beneficiary.
OFFICIAL WARNING FROM THE FBI ANTI-TERRORIST AND MONETARY CRIMES DIVISION.:
It has been discovered that your contract/inheritance/winning FUND was about
being transferred to an unknown account under your name. This attempt was
perpetrated by someone who claims to be working for you, and that you have
given him due authority tohave the FUND moved to the account specified below:
SOUTHWESTERN FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
WESCORP 924 OVERLAND COURT
SAN DIMAS, CA 91772. USA.
ACCOUNT NUMBER: [protected]
ABA/ROUTING NUMBER: [protected]
SHARETYPE NO.: 25
FINAL CREDIT HABIB FENZI AND CO. (Beneficiary).
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (F.B.I.) waded in after being alerted by
the supposed bank. We investigated and found that there is a possible money
laundering activity in play. The FUND (US$12, 500, 000.00) was found to be
deposited in Bank of America in your name pending your consent to have it
transferred to the new account indicated above. It was further revealed that
initial FUND transfer originated from Nigeria to England and now here in
Bank of America in USA. These transfers did not follow due process in line
with the
international FUND transfer rules and regulation.
Consequently, we suspect this be a terrorism funding, drug related fund
deposit and/or money laundering. As stated above, the FUND has your name on
it; and you must have it cleared of any connection with any of these illegal
activities. Be informed that FAILURE to have this cleared out will attract a
JAIL TERM. We will not hesitate to visit the full weight of the law upon you
if you do not clear this fund. There is every indication that you are
involved in this shady deal.
Finally, you are expected to have the CLEARANCE DOCUMENT obtain from where
the FUND originated from to have you and your fund cleared. Only then shall
we release your FUND as clean money devoid of any illegality, and you will
be free of any involvement. To this end, you are to contact Mr. Roy Valley
of the Anti Graft Department of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(E.F.C.C.) Nigeria and have the DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY SEAL of TRANSFER (DIST)
CLEARANCE DOCUMENT obtained. Contact him through this direct email address:
efccantigraftdept08@gmail.com Note that you have 72hrs to obtain this
crucial Documentation.
This has to be cleared!

The truth is that the world we live in today is just that way but before we go on to bash third-world criminals, let us not be ignorant of the criminals within.
I was looking for a job a while ago and of course I had my resume and info publicly displayed on the job search sites. I began to receive emails from all kinds of HR departments, some with no name and others with names that checked out. However, there are those who ask you to go to some credit reporting sites to check your credit since this is a way for you to know if your credit is good enough to gain employment, blah, blah... Some ask you to call their recruiting agencies who ask for your home address!
I asked why they needed my home address to contact me about an interview if they already had my phone number and email address and the most intelligent thing the idiot on the phone could come up with was "we need to know which local office is closest to you". So, I played along and gave her a street address -not mine.
Guess what she asked next... "Is there an apartment number?"
I hung up.
Why would she need an apartment number to determine the closest local office to where I live?
Sure enough, I started to receive the stupid telemarketing calls and spam emails. I just hope the address I gave doesn't turn out to be a real one to which they would end up sending tons of useless snail mail offers.
Now about international scams, they continue because:
1. Believe it or not, there are thousands of gullible people in Europe and the US that continue to fall for these ridiculous scams.
2. Greed block reasoning and so at the mention of millions of dollars most comfortable people might be willing to risk sending seemingly small tokens in order to receive the windfall.
I can't tell you how many different variations of these scams I've seen but I can tell you one thing. IT IS TOO EASY TO SPOT A FAKE!
1. UNDISCLOSED RECIPIENTS in the "To:" line of the email instead of your own email address is the first red flag. A legitimate email will have your own email address in the "To:" line (however not all emails that contain your address will be legitimate).
2. TERRIBLE LEXIS AND STRUCTURE: These criminals are mostly poorly educated kids in third-world countries and it is easy to see that their writing lacks professionalism and/or proper use of the English language.
3. THINK! Why would you receive an email about such huge sums of money? If there is a million bucks out there with your name on it, I promise you that there will be a face-to-face meeting of some sort. I mean, would you email someone you have never met and try to wire them money? On the other hand, even if this is someone you have known for years, would you send an email about such huge sums, and then try to wire the money without meeting in person?
4. This is a useful tip from a friend of mine, which has served me very well in the past. Next time you get one of these, send a reply and say, "You mean you guys are still using this old scam? Let me teach you the new scam that gets people now." or words to that effect. A scam artist will either leave you alone after that or respond with something rude or defensive, thus confirming your doubts.
Well, this is just my two cents. Hope it helps.
I haven't been using the internet very long, about 6 years to be exact. But it is getting to the point that it is starting to annoy me that everytime I open my email, there is nothing but junk in it. Is this what's it's all about that one person or person's are out there just thinking of a way to scam people out there hard earned money. So some person like the one imitating to be Robert Mueller of the FBI can find a sucker on the internet and happily go on his merry way with that individuals money. Has the internet become an electronic entity that anyone can use it to their advantage and swindle anyone they please. I am getting tired that there is always one or two emails from this person, saying that I have to pay 100 - 800 dollars to have the inherited money released in my name. I know that I have no money or monies coming to me from anyone as an inheritence. I know that some DEPARTMENT in the internet land has the power to stop these individuals. I wish it done very soon!

This is an eMail I received. I did answer it but I also sent copies to info@fbi.gov. I am also sending it as a letter by snail mail to the address:

I am a bit confused because it says the following:
The DEBT SETTLEMENT COMMISSION has been mandated to issue out your payment on this day 22nd July, 2009. Also for your information, you have to stop any further communication with any other person(s) or office(s) who claim to be established agents using it to defraud innocent people worldwide. This is to avoid any hitches in receiving your payment.
Thanks for adhering to our advice.

I 've received the same emails. It's nothing but junk and so are the guys at the other end. They're trying to scare you out of your funds. It's probably US government tactic. I wouldn't be surprised. Everything they've done has been a lie so far. Also watch out for hyperlink spoofing.
If anything their domain and email extensions should end in fbi.gov or fbi.org fraud.fbi.gov, robert[censored]@fbi.gov

Attention:
This is to officially inform you that a foreign bank from West Africa have transferred funds worth Millions of United States Dollars with your name as the beneficiary. This foreign bank knows that they do not have enough facilities to effect this payment from their location to your account and therefore they used what is known as Secret Diplomatic Transit Payment (S.T.D.P) to do this transfer and they are currently awaiting a confirmation from you for final crediting to your account. Secret diplomatic payments are not made unless the funds are related to terrorist activities, so if you are not intending to finance terrorism and your transaction is legitimate, why then did you agree to receive these funds through this means that was used instead of a direct transfer to your account?
Our findings shows that this method of transfer was used in the past to finance terrorist acts, so there is need to correct this problem now to avoid you getting into trouble when the funds reflects in your account.

The funds are right here in United State in your name, but the bank has been instructed not to release the funds to anybody until we have finalized our investigations. Note that the funds will not be credited into your personal account until the needed document is provided.
Your duty is to proof to us that the funds you are about to receive is a clean and the only way to proof that is by sending us this Diplomatic Immunity Seal Of Transfer(DIST). You are to forward this document to us immediately if you have it in your possession, if you don't have it let us know so that we will direct you to where you will obtain it so that your funds can be released. This document is to be issued to you from the location of the foreign bank to effect your funds transfer.

This Condition is Valid until 3 days after which the funds shall be confiscated and legal action will be taken against you.
Guarantee: Funds will be released upon confirmation of the DIST document.

Unbelievable
These scammers think that Americans are really easy to convince that they have monies that are just going to fall out of the sky...and people believe so easily.
It is a real shame that people believe that such an E-mail could be sent by the government of America... it looks funny and stupid.
You're right, it looks funny and stupid but I promise you hundreds of thousands of people fall for it every so often. Many Americans have made millionaires out of these scam artists.
It's amazing how slow some people with too much disposable income can be.
I have been getting these emails for sometime now also. I got creative just like them. I kept emailing them back saying I don't have the money to pay for it right now and if they could just take it out of the money owed to me. Everytime the price got lower and lower and pretty soon they stopped the emails all together. There still are others that come and I just do the same thing. I think if they want to waste my time and try to get my money then I can play their game too and mess with them. It's just a matter of time and they'll get caught. These types of scams can't last forever. Us the peoplel should try to do something about this but what could we possilbly do? My thoughts and prayers are with those who fall for this.
Way to go! Give them hell and sometimes just for the fun of it, promise them that you will send the money (get their hopes up) and then later say you ran out (dash their hopes). I like your style of messing with them. If enough people did that it would slowly but surely kill the trade.
I have recieve this today. This person is an idiot! Just spam and delete it.

these ARE ALL SCAMS you can end up in extreme danger over these things, never send money to them,
people have been baknrupted, and even killed over them DO NOT REPLY TO THESE THINGS
These scams have been going on for decades. My brother had a storefront listed in the Yellow Pages in the Bay Area for several years in the 1980's and early 1990's...they used to mail out airmail letters with the same basic drivel on it.
Then came the internet, they can now field every single person in the United States and other Western countries now for little more than having an internet connection and eMail harvester. I get alot of these as my eMail address is published in my eBay listings. The first one I received was in 2001 and it was concerning some person unknown to me who had supposedly died in a car accident in Western Africa and a supposed banker who wrote the letter wanted me to stand in as "next of kin". I thought for a couple of days, it might be real, so I responded and did my due diligence. All the documents they sent to me as their proof - ie purported government documents - had gross misspellings and it was obviously a fake. So I decided that I would make this person waste some of their money and gave them my cell phone number which I knew would cost them a few dollars - at least - to call and I kept him on the phone. When all was over I think that he spent at least $50 to $100. That's really the only way to run them out of business!
Then my next experience was since I accept Paypal payments, I get alot of scams that want me as a "trusted merchant" to cash checks or process Paypal payments for some artist and then an obscure software company. So I decided to employ the same due diligence...I did an internet search for the artist and found that there was actually a real artist whom the scammers had ripped off their online identity. I had them send me a USPS Money Order...it came from Ghana instead of New Zealand where the artist was located. Now someone has to THINK - why would a USPS Money Order be sent from someone in Ghana? There isn't a US Post Office there and I highly doubt that their is an Army Base APO with a US Post Office selling USPS Money Orders to the military in Ghana. I could be wrong...chances are that Money Order was fraudulent.
Same thing with the software company in Ukraine asking me to process Paypal payments...this "company" went as far to establish a website selling their software. You might have to think though - I Googled the software they were selling and nothing showed up. Something fishy there. All commercial websites are spidered / crawled into search engines and if this company's website was not in the Google database, then something was definitely wrong!
Everyone has to think and not spend time reading, responding and definitely not sending money to these scammers. BTW, they are known as 419ers - the country code for Nigeria. Its an industry there and Internet Cafes in that country have 99% 419ers sitting on their chairs.
I like to send an eMail every once in a while warning them of Interpol or FBI investigation at their cafe...then another favorite thing is to write pidgeon english - for example - da man mugee senda monee 5thousan usdolrs...stupid mugee - watch you will get a response in short hand that will blow you away. Then you can investigate them and really waste their time.
Then you pull the raid eMail on them - I am sure they are scattering like cockroaches even at the thought.
Hang tough all you out there and if anything strange enters your eMail box about an unknown African inheritance, lottery winnings, etc., its not real. Its really that simple...none of it is real. Most contests take your phone number and mailing address and if you have officially won a prize, you will probably not have to pay a delivery fee. What a crock!
i received one that looks legit but it isnt forcing me to do anything at all though here it is ... and looking at the source of the email i have posted all the info to that in case someone with the FBI wants to check it out they can . i am sure they come in and post in here as well the info is at the bottom of the email
