Richard B the EMT Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 Placed in the Non EMS Discussions, as it's not truly EMS, but I don't want any of my city-mates to be ripped off. What follows is the exact letter, allegedly from the Federal Breau of Investigation, without their emblem, and with all the misspellings, which make it obvious that it is not from the FBI (figure my tax dollars pay for their spell check programs). If you get similar, advise your service (AOL, Yahoo, whatever) that you got one of these scams, and hope they'll follow up on it.

FireMedic65 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 It is truly sad that some people fall for that crap. Thanks for the heads up Richard.
Emtpbill Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I like the part about puppy scammers and imposters. God these low lifes never give up.
Lone Star Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) I've recieved a couple of emails similar to this, but they were purportedly sent by Robert Mueller, the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I suspected a scam and contacted the local field office and was told to send it to their IC3 department (their 'cyber crime' division). Sadly, many people will fall for this simply because they think they're going to get five million dollars for no discernable reason. All they're actually going to get for their efforts is cleaned out. Another 'tip off' is the glaring grammatical, punctuation and sentence structure errors: The reason why the FBI(Federal Bereau Of Investigation)are contacting you is because a lady by name Linda Rossel has contacted the ATM CARD PAYMENT CENTER with your information that they should approve the funds on your behalf to her as your representative, so please check and know if you have sent anybody by that name to claim this funds on your behalf as we will facilitate the transfer of the funds to her immediately.

HellsBells Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Im always amazed that anyone ever falls for these scans. The syntax errors alone confuse me to the point that I dont even understand what they want me to send money for.
Cookie Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I got this thing as well. I also got one supposedly from the FBI about some merchandise or some such thing that needed to get thru customs, supposedly addressed to me, and asking me to send money and personal information. Well you get the idea. Sadly people fall for these scams every day. Cookie
Just Plain Ruff Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 Yeah I take every email from the FBI at face value. Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
FireMedic65 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 The CIA e-mailed me the other day from their Albanian yahoo account. I was offered a job but I had to front the money for expenses and travel because of their currency exchange. That wasn't too much of a problem since I just won the British National Lottery and luck has it, that there is a prince from Niule that is moving to America to attend college. He heard I was a nice guy asked if he could transfer his millions in funds to my bank account so he would not be poor when he arrived. This seemed like a great deal since he offered me full use of the account with his funds! Who wants to party!?
Richard B the EMT Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Firemedic65, you now owe me for a few OTC pain pills, for the pain caused me falling off my chair laughing!
FireMedic65 Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Oh don't worry Richard, I know a few sites that sell prescription drugs online! They come from Nicaragua.
