Federal Bureau of Investigation review: False Emails 1

I got an email like the following and started to reply to it because in the from section it said it was from ROBERT S. MUELLER FBI DIRECTOR" , but when I hit reply and finished typing my message it said it was replying to [protected]@yahoo.cn . It seems the people sending out scams to get personal information are getting more clever and changing the way emails show up to us. I was very unsure about responding to the email at first because it was to undisclosed recipients. I usually don't post information about the number of email scams I have gotten but this one I couldn't find anything close to it until I got to the very bottom of the message. But when I noticed who it was replying to since the email it showed it came from and the email it was going to were different, I thought I NEEDED to post it on a website so no one else falls victim to this message.
