    FBI SEEKING TO WIRETAP INTERNET

    GOOD DAY:

    We the Federal bureau of investigation (FBI) Washington, DC in conjunction
    with some other relevant security Agencies here in the United states of
    America have recently been informed through our Global intelligence
    monitoring network that you presently have a transaction going on with the
    Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), regards to your over-due contract payment
    which was fully endorsed in your favor accordingly.

    It might interest you to know that we have taken our time in screening
    through this contract payment notification as stipulated on our protocol
    of operation,and have finally confirmed that your contract payment is 100%
    genuine and legal with due process of law, and it is as well free from all
    illegal activities,which you have the lawful right to claim your fund
    without any further delay.Having said all this,we will further advise,
    that you should go ahead in dealing with the Central Bank office
    accordingly as we will be monitoring all their services accordingly with
    our intelligent monitoring network device, and with your cooperation.

    furthermore, we want to place this on your notice that we recently had a
    meeting with the Executive Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, in the
    person of Prof. Chukwuma Soludo and Mr. Emakpo Sam Banks along with some
    of the top officials of the Ministry regarding your case and they made us
    to understand that your file has been held in abase depending on when you
    personally come for the claim. They also told us that the only problem
    they are facing right now is that some unscrupulous element are using this
    project as an avenue to scam innocent people off their hard earned money
    by impersonating the Executive Governor and the Central Bank office.

    We were also made to understand that a lady with name Mrs. Joan C. Bailey
    from OHIO and another person named as Mr. machovina Wachovia who reside in
    Missouri as well has already contacted them and also presented to them all
    the necessary documentations evidencing your claims, claiming to have been
    signed personally by you prior to the release of your contract fund valued
    at about US$10,000,000.00 (Ten million united states dollars), but the
    Central Bank office did the wise thing by insisting on hearing from you
    personally before they go ahead on wiring your fund to the Bank
    information which was forwarded to them by the above mentioned names, the
    main reason, we the federal bureau of investigation were contacted by the
    CBN is to assist them on making some investigation regards to this issue.

    They further informed us that we should inform our citizens, who must have
    been informed of the contract payment which was awarded to them from the
    Central Bank of Nigeria, to be very careful prior to these irregularities
    so that they don't fall victim to scam. We the FBI are instructing you
    personally, that if you were already dealing with anybody or office
    claiming to be from the Central Bank of Nigeria, you are further advised
    to STOP further contact with them in your best interest and then, contact
    immediately the real office of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) only with
    the below information accordingly:

          I love how they said that Wachovia is trying to steal your money. Someone needs to tell them that banks and businesses don't use gmail.

            I got one today - also from "Robert S Mueller III" - from an AOL address. You'd think if they were trying to be legitimate, they would at least TRY to spoof a FBI'esque address.

              Well their spelling and grammar is at least better than the average scammer. I'll give them credit for using spell check, although they do need to proof read certain places where spell check failed or they used words incorrectly. Also it's .gov not .govw

              Better luck next time.

                Also, if they want to sound believable, does the FBI really investigate banks? I thought that was the FDIC? Or am I just getting all the alphabet soup mixed up again...so many letters!!

                    They investigate fraud which means sometimes they ask banks for cooperation but I don't think they investigate actual banks.

                        Actually, the FDIC just insures deposits in member banks up to $250,000 per depositor. They don't investigate anything. However, the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) does.

                          As if there was any doubt that this was fraud, but if you google some of the names, particularily Machovina Wachovia, the top 20 hits are all either fraud-watch websites, or boards mocking the letter.

                            So what have you done about this one? After all, I'm pretty sure that the real FBI don't take kindly to impersonation...

                            If CBN wasn't already in trouble just for scamming, this one will really get them in deep shit!

                              Any time you get a 419 (Nigerian Scam) or any variant (it seems China is a popular home site for these, now), just forward the email with full headers over to 419fcd@usss.treas.gov

                              I also like to send an abuse report to whatever email domain that they use to receive email.
