This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

received 2 emails from Robert S Mueller, III of FBI stating I as a fund beneficiary from Nigeria have 10 millions dollars waiting for me and I must send the proper info to collect or I could get into trouble. I do not have any monies coming to me or have any waiting for me from anyone. At the age of 80 I would not have any inheritage from any where, nor would my 81 year old husband. Don't know if this is an official letter or not as I can not get through to the fbipost.[protected]@2.pl. Any advise?

I too have received such e-mails and have often wondered why the FBI can't help in stopping such scammers. There are scam e-mails stating person or persons that are ill and have no next of kin but don't want the money to be lost or the government seizing it. At the end of most, if not all, you have to send personal information or pay a small fee to be able to receive this money. If it is an inheritance, why a fee? Why not just take it from the millions that you supposedly are inheriting. Same with all the other e-mails that implicate a fee. All of it is b.s. and someone really needs to stop it.
As for the FBI e-mail, I must admit it scared the hell out of me but after doing research and finding this blog I don't feel intimidated at all.

I get several of these emails every week (accidentally clicked on a link in one and have been deluged ever since). Aside from the scam alerts, there are things that should tip you off that this is a scam -- first, the FBI would never send an email for something like this -- that's what registered mail is for; second -- the grammer is hideous -- I would hate to think the director of the FBI cannot use common punctuation and grammer properly; and third, if someone were trying to give you money, they would not threaten you for not responding!

I find these items tend to be consistent across the scam emails I receive. Keep these in mind, and you'll be less likely to be scammed. Also -- if you have "spam" button on your email (I do wiht AT&T) use it -- it marks the sender as a spammer, and seems to be cutting down on the email I am getting.

I keep getting these too, I know all of you feel it is really starting to annoy me that they think a 23 year old house with a child on the way is that stupid to send them what little money she earns from her husband being in the marines. I think it is BS that they have nothing better to do then to scam hard working people or even less then fortunate people out of their cash. From what I see there is nothing we can do but keep deleting the junk mail a hope they get caught real soon. Just so you know aiding these people in any way is a crime I do advise all of you to not respond or send cash. I'm not sure what the max penalty is for doing so, but it will end badly for you.

Received today an aggressive, threatening (verbal) attack about not getting lottery funds

due me because I was too lethargic to do or follow the directions given me last week, (I

think Lotteries are ridiculous so after having been written to during the last 4

years) rather similar letters of promises of huge sums of money if I either invest lots of

personal details about myself and of course: money to a specific important person, the

rewards financially would be amazing . . luck ! . . .up in the millions of dollar, euros or

British pounds.

The main symtoms of these frauds /"confidence trickster games" are that you must invest

money to a specifically appointed place, person or code name. My machine does do its best

to separate these letters but a few get through. At first I got a bit enthusiastic but suspicious

and checked with our consumer "police" who then told me that lots of people get this type

of mucky letter.

I am bothered everyday by medical companies who try to sell me every drug under the sun

especially for dieting, heightening of romantic potential like Viagra ! etc. IT ALL GOES IN-

TO THE Internett waste basket. It is illigal to receive drugs internationally by mail where I

am living.

I have tried to tell this to the stupid people who work to advertize their products but the

same companies never get tired of advertising!
_____________________________________________

Luckily, "snail mail" is still being used and the FBI would most certainly

never write personal demand letters on the internett. There are still embassys and the

systems mostly everywhere still work and there ARE helpful people in the police force. If not

why not!

Throw the letters away in your INTERNETT WASTE BASKET & NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR

DETAILS! and especially BANK DETAILS; CODES OR CHECKS.

to these greedy evil people. There is nothing for nothing in this world. When people offer you

millions of dollars and you are sure that you have never partaken in a lottery in Southern

Italy or in Somalia or Nigeria it has got to be a HOAX. Even if they say it will go to poor

orphans and you must submit and received huge amounts first. Be suspicious.

Evil as well as Good is rampant. If you can´t discern for yourself, find a person you KNOW

who is trustworthy and ask their advice.

This "Complaints Board"site was helpful to me in confirming my suspicions about the letter

I received, today. It has nearly the exact same wording as one of the pages sited.

From Hollywood, Newspapers etc. & lots of other media, the FBI & CIA are made out to be

very intimidating organisations. Evil people play on our fears! Don´t let them get away with

it! " There is nothing to fear but fear itself"

HI, I too have been receiving these emails. They are taking up to much of my time... for something that is never going to happen. Well now that I am done venting LOL. I would like to say this to Dawn, who has written about her father and how he is sending these people money, and yet not receiving his funds that they say are due to him. IF you can get on to your Dads computer and into his email Perhaps he can show you one of the e mails that he is sending money too. YOU CAN BLOCK THIS. When your in the email hit the REPLAY button, like your going to send them an email back ( but your not). Once the window with the email is opean, you can copy the email address that it came from. ( or write it down. ) Once done close that window. On the top left side in your email you will see, file, edit, view, tools etc. Click on tools, when the window opeans go down to MESSAGE RULES, when the little window opeans go down to the bottom that say's BLOCKED SENDERS LIST, and click on that. Then click on ADD, then a little window will opean, and you can past or type in the email address that you just copyed or wrote down. Then click okay.. This is if you have outlook express this is how I do it on my computer. Also you will see, to the left there are two other tabs one say's MAIL RULES. In here you can type all the words you do not want to receive into your email... Yes you have to type all the dirty words and the swear words too. BUT you only have to do it this one time and you can always go back and add words. This will keep porn out and other unwanted stuff... IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN IN THE HOME THAT USE THE COMPUTER I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS. Of course the odd unwanted email does some how make it through ... I know, I know.. what can you do. I do hope this helps not just Dawn with her father but anyone else intrested in stopping a lot of the garbage emails we get. TO YOUR EMAIL HEALTH AND HAPPENESS.

These scammers must think that we Americans are really easy to
convince that we have monies that are just going to fall out of the sky.

It is a real shame that they are taking advantage of our elderly! May GOD remind them of that when they reach the pearly gates.

Hi, Jay Here ... I've Reported a number of these to the FBI, they say that due to International laws they can't do anything. WELL...

It sounds kind of crazy but why don't we the people set up our own tracking and reporting site for this specific type of scam that literally targets the most vulnerable in our society.

It's not just the elderly, but with the way the economy is going I think that there are more and more desperate people who want to believe it could be true, so it seems if we don't do something, besides wait for the government to act, their "EVIL" business will increase more and more as things get worse. If you don't think it's gonna get worse then you need to go ahead and pull your head out of the sand, I'm being nice here, and open your eyes!

Our government just spent nearly a "TRILLION" dollars on programs that will do little to help the average person.

Why not invest a small amount to help the "vulnerable " in our society to keep the hard earned savings they have worked so hard to acquire. This could easily be done by Homeland Security or a small detachment of specialists already employed by the F.B.I., Oh, I'm sorry that makes way to much since to even be considered by the bunch we've elected to be our representatives in Washington...

WHAT WAS I THINKING! :)

These people are draining elderly people of all there money. My father gets these emails all the time he has sent them thousands of dollars and is so in debt and living in low imcome housing. He sends them money instead of paying his bills. His next move will be a nursing home and not a nice one because no one in his family has any kind of money and he is not moving in with any of his children for a lot of reasons. Why can't anything be done about these scam artists.

This person is trying to scam you.
While Robert S. Mueller, III is the current Director of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation this email was not sent by him.
The FBI does not ever email people, they will call and meet face to face if needed.
If you are still worried I would print out a copy of this email and go to your local Police station or submit a complaint to the Internet Crime Complaint Center.
I recieved an email from this apparent person a few days ago and did some research as I did not want to get in trouble as I had done nothing wrong.

Check the email address where this email came from. I am sure the FBI would have their own .com (eg : Robert.Mueller@FBI.com or similar.

I would not stress about it.
Unfortunately I get about 8 similar emails to this every 2 days. If they were all true I would have Millions upon millions of dollars owing to me.

I wish.
