Hook, Line and..., Too Good

New Government Program…

While this is absolutely a scam, I have to give it to the criminals for something original. They still don’t get the details, which is good for us. Details such as the Department of Justice using a free web-based email account or referring to the amount as “$FIVE MILLION U.S dollars” are a dead giveaway. We won’t even mention the poor grammar, oh wait, we just did.

Mueller or Mulder

Jim D. sent us this message from an imposter FBI agent. I would have to agree with Jim when he said “This guy is pretty brave in impersonating an FBI agent.”, but these guys really think they will never be caught. Besides the FBI would never use a fbisomething.com address, they would be coming from a .gov email address, and you probably would have been contacted by some other means first. To learn more about the real FBI’s internet crime division, please visit them at www.FBI.gov.

Scam Alert (except for my email)

While her attorney is advising her that email such as these are fake, the one she is sending you is not. So I guess it is okay to start sending her cash. Right?

Subject: Scam Alert

Attn: My Dear,

I am Mrs. Annette E. Jenkins, I am a US citizen, 48 years Old. I reside in District of Columbia 20534. My residential address is as follows [Removed] First Street, NW Washington, District of Columbia 20534, United States, am thinking of moving since I am now wealthy. I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over $42,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail.
So I decided to travel down to Nigeria with all my compensation documents, And I was directed to meet Mr. Izu Michael, who is the member of COMPENSATION AWARD COMMITTEE and a Human Rights Activist (Lawyer), and I contacted him and he explained everything to me. He said whoever is contacting us through emails are fake.
He took me to the paying bank for the claim of my Compensation payment. Right now I am the most happiest woman on earth because I have received my compensation funds amounteing to $15,000,000.00 Moreover, Mr. Izu Michael, showed me the full information of those that are yet to receive their payments and I saw your email as one of the scam victims, that is why I decided to email you to stop dealing with those people, they are not with your fund, they are only making money out of you. I will advise you to contact Mr. Izu Michael
You have to contact him directly on this information below.
COMPENSATION AWARD HOUSE
Name : Mr. Izu Michael (Barrister)
Email: izumichael@[Domain Removed].net
Phone: +234 803 [Number Removed]
You really have to stop dealing with those people that are contacting you and telling you that your fund is with them, it is not in anyway with them, they are only taking advantage of you and they will dry you up until you have nothing.
The only money I paid after I met Mr. Izu Michael was just $580 for the paper works, take note of that.
Thank You and Be Blessed.

While this is a classic Phishing email, trying to get your contact information and maybe even you money, it tries several different approached.

Therefore, i am very happy to inform you that i have been able to complete up the transaction with the aid of a business counterpart in person of Mr.Harrison T.Douglas from united states.And i am presently, in japan for an investment project with my own part of the fund which was supposed to be transferred into your account.

Now, all you need to do is to try as much as possible and correspond with my personal assistance right there in benin republic in person of Mr.Ben Worlker on his email bellow: ( sdy.max44@[Removed].com ) ask him to send to you the certified international bank draft worth the sum of $600,000.00usd which i had written and signed in your name before i left for the investment project in japan.

You should also endeavour to get me informed as soon as the bank draft is been sent to you so that i will be aware that it has gotten to you without any hitch ok.You can as well contact him via his private phone number if there is any where you are confused and would like to ask him question:+229-####-#397.

My late Grandma was a puppy breeder, she died about 6 month ago and she left 2 Female English Bulldog and 1 Male English Bulldog before she pass a way.

Wow, this is bold. You don’t need agents Mulder and Scully to see that there is something a bit alien with this email.
