To hell to them

While many people here find this funny, lets not forget who those idiots target. Its mostly older people, as those dont have much experience with the Internet. While to any member here, it will be laughable that the FBI uses a yahoo.com email address, some 80 year old who just bought a computer for the first time might not see anything suspicious about this.

Nigerian Making you Fool!!!! dont send any of ur info... believe me...

**MaestroDelWeb** · #44 (**permalink**) 05-23-2008, 05:22 PM

I got another email from them at another "anonymous" email address, which has completely fake info for me. Looks like they're serious, they're telling me that if I don't claim my money I'll be charged with illegally moving funds out of Nigeria.

This one is weird it doesn't have a return email address except for the FBI one. I'm guessing this is a setup for them to email me again.

I'm going to have to claim my money or feel the wrath.

The FBI today is providing a warning to the public against an ongoing
scheme involving jury service and internet/phones fraud. The public
needs to be aware that individuals identifying themselves as U.S. court
employees have been telephonically contacting citizens and advising them
that they have been selected for jury duty. These individuals ask to
verify names and Social Security numbers then ask for credit card
numbers. If the request is refused, citizens are then threatened with fines
illegally.

The judicial system does not contact people telephonically and ask for
personal information such as your Social Security number, date of birth
or credit card numbers. If you receive one of these phone calls, do
not provide any personal or confidential information to these
individuals. This is an attempt to steal or to use your identity by obtaining your
name, Social Security number and potentially to apply for credit or
credit cards or other loans in your name. It is an attempt to defraud
you. Crime and fraud is real, so be careful.

Working closely with our partners in intelligence, law enforcement,
military, and diplomatic circles, the FBI’s primary responsibility is
to neutralize terrorist cells and operatives here in the United States
and help dismantle terrorist networks/money laundry and internet fraud
worldwide. Although protecting the United States from terrorist attacks
and money laundry is our first priority, we remain committed to the
defense of America against foreign intelligence threats as well as the
enforcement of federal criminal laws, all while respecting and defending
the Constitution.

If you’ve ever watched one of those crime dramas on TV and heard the
term “NCIC” mentioned in passing and wondered what it was, you’re
probably not alone.

NCIC, which stands for National Crime Information Center, is one of
the unsung heroes of crime-fighting—little known to the public, but used
every day by law enforcement officers nationwide and even across the
border to take terrorists and criminals off the street, find missing
persons and property, and save lives.

We’re very proud of NCIC’s legacy, but what’s most important to us is
what it can do today,” says Bush. “We’re constantly trying to make it
better and faster.” And we have, with a major technical upgrade in 1999
and important additions of terrorism and gang information in recent
years.

Robert S. Mueller, III
Director
Federal Bureau of Investigation

If someone takes the time to invent a letter that long they must be making money out of it. And that IS scary.

**tonlilah** · #46 (**permalink**) 06-03-2008, 06:41 AM

wow, the FBI sure sound like nice folks...

I'm surprised we haven't seen emails from the IRS saying we own thousands in backed tackses

Burn the FBI building and Nigeria, WIN FUCKING WIN!

Nice thread! I have a 14 yr old who has fallen for this (never again!!). However, she truly fell for it and ended up giving information about herself that made me S**T when I saw it.
(Thank you Mozilla for storing passwords). I didn't want to pry, but noticed that when she was online, that she kept looking over her shoulder. So, needless to say, I had to.
I messed with them as well.............strung them along..........changed the personal info....and made it sound that I was to the point where I was going to deposit some cash.
Boy, it is almost like a Dog waiting for a bone a drooling. I mean, I get it if the victim does not know what this kind of thing is, but.........chances are, most victims know SOME
ONE who will be able to see this kind of fraud. ESSENTIALCLIX, I love your idea, and might just try it.........................but.................isn 't this BHW??
Do you guys think that this is inapropriate as I do?
And Ayobomi, I think that Nigerians are being used as a Scapegoat if you will.
Does anyone know whether these are truly coming from Nigeria???
I didn't think so.
Cheers
