Wow... there must be some serious budget cuts at the FBI if they have to resort to using free email services now....

Or that the scammers are too dumb to even register a legit-sounding domain... even "fbi-special-unit.com" would sound more "legit".

But yeah, some people will still fall for it. People like us on the forum can probably spot such BS from 100 miles away. But a 75 year old who just discovered what a "computer" is might not see anything wrong with the FBI using an Hotmail address.
