[DeTomaso] NPC: FBI is now in the Nigerian Letter Business!!! I'm trembling.....

[boyd casey]

Good point Asa.,
A few more notable pointts # 1 all government entities have an email address
with a .Gov suffix and don.t use someone Else's domain name  , # 2 all FBI
correspondence would be written on official   FBI letter head # 3 all FBI
correspondence is going  to be written  in proper English and at least spell
checked and  not contain blatant grammatical errors.. I also find it very
unlikely that they would contain threats of arrest for failure to respond to
an e-mail. The  frightening thing is that their are still so many stupid
people that respond to these  and other scams.. I had a chance to speak to a
convicted con man once and he told me that most of theses scams work because
they play on peoples greed. He said it is one trait you can always count on.
