The FBI Is Looking Out For Me

So, I'm checking my email, minding my own business, when I see an email from none other than the FBI. No, really. The senders name was "Federal Bureau of Investigation."

Because, you know, No one at the FBI has their OWN email address, it's all just generic.

Yet another scam, this one badly put together. Here's the text:

"Anti-Terrorist And Monitory Crime Division.
Federal Bureau Of Investigation.

forward any emails you get from impostors to this office so we could act

Good grief, people. If you're going to pretend to be the FBI, at least try not to spell the British way. Oh, and I
love the "Anti-Terrorist and Monitory Crime Division." They're my favorite division, like, ever.

Oh, and the email address... The government has their very own mail servers, so I highly doubt that anyone from the FBI would be sending email from "no-replys@aol.com"

Get a life.

The really sad part is that these mail actually manage to fool enough people to make it profitable to keep sending them...

This person is not from the FBI. I just had the same thing happened today. I am tracing this guy down. I have been working on this all day.

I have sent alot of info to the FBI. I just gave some of the locations that this guy may be at. I have traced at least 3-5 IP Address and Email Account Info. How ever It seems like this jerk has a Main Yahoo account.

I would report this guy and any kind of info by going to IC3.gov.

You can also report him to your local FBI Office. Google Your City, FBI it should give you their web site and contact info.

Stay way from this guy, don't give him your info. I have been finding tons of info all day. I have submitted lots of info the FBI could use including all of his emails he is using.

I hope this info helps you.

Shane The Blogger. You can trace people by their location by using the header info.

If you find the IP were it was sent from you get a general idea.

This guy is also seems to use lots of UK info. He may be in that part. How ever I am going to help find this guy.

You can send a email to me at shaneumlauf@gmail.com

I can tell you how to trace these guys down.
