That is a new low of scammers. I've seen dozens and this is one of the worst. I think that Director Mueller has spell check too.

Give me a break.

That email is a verified scam. If you look closely at the header information it may even point back to an African country. Simply delete and don't reply!  Here is a sample of the "419 Scam": http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeria.asp

Give me a break.

yeah.....I'm pretty confident that he does have spellcheck, though I doubt that he needs it as badly as the author of this crap.

Google Scams it has a site that lists scam, but yes it does sound like a 419 scam, but if you really feel the need to send someone Money I can help with that

Redrover says ...

Yeah, I've won the Nigeria lottery, the UK lottery, I've been notified as

 

next of kin to people who would like to share my supposedly inherited millions. I have had one guy ask if he could channel funds through my bank account before. I just hit the "DELETE" button. My concern was getting a virus or worm in my computer, or identity theft. If someone actually wins let me know, I need to borrow some(ha).

Hey Redrover,

You couldn't have won both of those lotteries, because I did. I think you're just trying to scam in on MY money.  (reality check) Nobody has ever actually won nor are they the long, long lost surviving (whatever) of someone. what a major scam.

This looks legit.  I say go ahead and do it

You guys are all crazy! I'm down with making tons of money. I sent the guy ALL my personal info including my bank account number. This time next week, I'll be rolling in money! See YA!

These morons need to pay attention to the little details.  Having a telephone number is a nice touch except that the area code is in the state of Washington (Seattle area) and not Washington D.C.area.  I have reported these idots to the real FBI and the Seceret Service.  The next knock on their door may not be the Avon lady calling.

I agree that this is a major scam - just your common sense should tell you that!

Major Scam!!!

What a deal, only costs $150.00!?

I got an email saying it was from the FBI  and from the Director Robert Mueller.  2nd time.  It said it was an inheritance but I would be arrested for laundering money into the US if I didn't respond in 2 days.  I ended up faxing a copy to the FBI in Boston MA for them to have on file with the many other scam emails they said they have.  The FBI in Washington said to delete it because they don't use emails like that and it's a scam. 

These guys need to try something new.  Who talks like that?
