An important message from the FBI (spam to point and laugh at)

Hotmail now allows its users to report emails as phishing scams, so I read my spams instead of just deleting everything in the spam folder. I got this beauty in this morning:

I feel so very, very protected and cherished. Obviously old Bob Mueller (I refer to him as Bob because he obviously wants to be in a close relationship with me) is really being aggressive in looking out for my interests. I can trust him completely. He doesn’t want me to get involved with any of those other shady scams.

I always get warm fuzzy feelings when I see that the official email address of a bank representative is a gmail address. Nothing says “official” like gmail.com. Same with yahoo and aol.com.

In this case, apparently the director of the FBI has a w.cn email address. It looks like the FBI is so under-funded that they can’t even set up an email system for its senior officials, but have to go to a Chinese equivalent of Gmail.

I guess Bob doesn’t get the definition of Federal. Heh.

So, when do you get your big payment?

Man! I had just gotten the original message from Mr Tunde Lemo. If I had only known that it was genuine I wouldn’t have deleted it. What I fool I am!

I can see from his email address that he is a cultured individual with an English background. Even his British accent that stutters the ‘t’ at the end of words has migrated into his email.

Hey, it has “usgov201” as part of the address! That makes it official, right?
