Robert yeah I got something close to this a couple of weeks ago.Mine said if i didn't supply the information that they wanted.And who my accomplices were.That they (They Being the F.B.I.) was going to come and arrest me.And that I could be looking at life imprisonment.I gave them Willy and Rob's  name :P and deleted it.I'm still waiting for them to arrest me.And now Willy and Rob.If they do arrest us.I guess me and Willy and Rob.Can discuss politics till hell freezes over

I could see how something like this could freak someone out.Es specially if it was a elderly person.Or somebody that isn't up on stuff like this.It all do's look real official.They got me one time on a visa card.They said I needed to send them a payment to cover my over due balance on my visa card.So I called the card company and raised hell.Because I hadn't used my visa card in a long time.And I knew it had a zero balance.The guy I talked to took my information.Looked up my account.Told me there wasn't a problem with my account.I gave the visa card guy the address and all the information.That was in the email.I never heard anything else about it.

Something else about this bothers me.Lets say for example the email is true.If you were the F.B.I. or I.C.E or whoever.And you are about to make the arrest of your career.Would you send the guy your going to arrest a email.Or would you show up at his house.And try to catch him unaware.If it was me.I think I would show up at the guy's house.With a couple dozen trigger happy swat guys.

If it really bothers you.I would print the email.And take it to the D.A in your city.Let them deal with this.This is why we pay taxes.

Here is a link to the Internet Crime Center, you can file a complaint if you think you have been scammed or just forward the e-mails to the FBI like I do! 8) You can also read up on the latest crime schemes floating around cyberspace!

I love the first sentence, " take note that this is for real because we" say so.
Maybe because we deal with related government issues we know this is fake but there are some (I know a few) that believe it. It's amazing to me the elaborate detail of a money transfer they came up with. I guess to anyone that hasn't any knowledge of transfers/courier services would believe it?

If I've received it, my family at home hasn't told me. Now in all honesty, I couldn't get past the first paragraph. If an American wrote it, I would expect more slang and comprehensible mistakes. That doesn't even read like a government threat letter. I know, I've received two correspondence audits. One was because while in the Army, I forgot to file taxes one year, because I returned from a deployment in December, cleared the unit and base (did the paperwork for a transfer) and then transferred to another base/unit in a different part of the country. So in December, January (on leave/vacation) and February of said year, I was busy. The army can do a lot worse to a soldier during a transfer, than the IRS can think of. So I was outprocessing during the days that I would have been given the forms. I called my old Commander at the old unit, he said they thought my new unit would have taken care of me. They found the paperwork, which was supposed to be forwarded to the new unit, but was still in the company clerks, desk.

If anyone is wondering, that January leave, I was doing what any unmarried member of any nation's military does when on leave. So no, I wasn't thinking about paperwork. My mind was elsewhere...   ::)

Here I had just yesterday a Customer in my Shop, that told me.. they/someone froze his CP ( the FBI they said ) and he has 72 hours to come up with $200 or we'll be knocking at his door. He was just about to pay ( believe it or not ) but he waited the three days and his CP became un-looked again by itself. They come with all kinds of tricks.. don't they?

Thanks Robertt, I'll give him the Web address for complaints.

I haven't received that email but i do get this (attached) many times over. At least I get a laugh from these emails. Here's a hint, government doesn't send letters email nor in Word format. Always a PDF.

At least the UK government never uses Email. They stick to the good old reliable pigeon post.  :o

By the way the follow up to these email is to request a payment of x amount of US dollars to pay for the couriering of the check to you.

I (oops I mean they) usually gauge the amount on how gullible they think a person is.

The easiest way to work out if it is a scam, look to the top where is the reference number for you to refer to when you go and question the content? I will stick my neck out on this and say that the Australian Government is like most in the world and will reference everything and file it accordingly so when you enquire they will only ask for the ref number or your account number with them ie. social security etc.

And from what I read of the letter before I got bored was that no cash amount was ever mentioned.  So how much will you get from getting the funds released or was this in your original email that they are referencing?
I WILL have my revenge for having to be clean shaven......once I learn how to tame my Dragon.
