Orders from the FBI

Another e-mail from the FBI has turned up, this one from none other than FBI Director Robert S.Mueller.

The last message was from a mere Agent - I posted the details on Saturday - but now I'm proud to say I merit a Director.

He's given me a better e-mail address than his colleague too, this is mueller.cv@ic.fbi. gov

He tells me that he's "brought a solution to your problem" (Boy, am I relieved - not only that he's solved my problem but also because he exposed a problem I didn't realise I had).

I'm sort-of resting easy because he assures me that "Since the Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved in this transaction, you have to be rest assured for this is 100% risk free it is our duty to protect the American Citizens"

The bit that worries me is whether 'have to be rest assured for this is 100% risk free' applies to me because I'm not an American Citizen.

Still, even if we're not American, if we can't trust the FBI who can we trust?

Oh, and he alerts me to the fact that "Puppy Scammers are impostors claiming to be the Federal Bureau Of Investigation."

Then using his position as Director he tells me: "We order you get back to this office..."

An order from an FBI Director - who could disobey that?

Here's the full text:

I'm afraid that's where it ends, and without the missing information about what they're claiming I'm afraid I won't be able to identify imposters.

there is a new trend to create disposable email addresses (aka Email Alias)... an email address that is linked to your real email where you use disposable email address for anything like signing up for facebook or websites or newsletters or anything... and keep your real email address only known to real people you communicate with.

once you start getting spam from one of your disposable addresses, simply delete that disposable email and all spam from that address is vanished... plus those SPAMMERS keep selling your address to each other on and on so the solution is to dispose it. yet your real email identity is still hidden from them.

I have been using this method now for about 2 years with almost 99% success that I have almost 0 spam in my inbox.

I also identify my disposable emails so that if I recieve spam on one of them I actually knows whom I shared that email with... I usually find my email addresses sold by one of the forums I am member with or a company I always trusted shares my email with its own partners and they further share my email with their partners...

if u own your own email address you can create it or Yahoo offer it as service with its premium accounts.

Tell him if he's with the FBI he should be able to find your personal details without your help!

In unrelated news, you might be amused to hear that the British are being advised that Emirati tourists are easily offended and don't like being told what to do, according to official guidance from VisitBritain - http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/aug/11/visitbritain-foreign-visitors-2012-olympics

Doug thanks for that, I'd missed it, it's hysterical.

It says the info came from the organisation's staff in its 35 offices worldwide. They really need to get out more.

I read a while ago that 600,000 UK civil servants are going to be 'let go' - I hope this lot are top of the list.

have you seen the blog by the guy who decided to follow one of these Nigerian scams through? Very very funny! I almost felt sorry for the scammers by the end! I'll try to find the link.

Susan, I remember reading a story in one of the papers a while ago of a guy who scammed the scammers and managed to get money out of them. I'd like to see the blog if you can find the link...

FROM TEX MEHRA

This is nothing new, people should understandthat FBI DOES NOT contact anyone, and especially does NOT ISSUE ATM CARDS.
There is no such thing as ATM SWIFT CARD.
ANYONE receiving such mail, agreed should Spam or delete it without even OPENING.
Cause these scam mails always have hidden bugs, which once you open will sit in your computer sending every bank related message to the Owner.
Avoid on Line Banking unless you have secured with special ID proceedures with your bank.

It is unfortunate that greed acts and people get taken in.

Seabee/Susan: Here is the link to the African Scammers post which you're referring to. A classic.

I had hoped that the economic downtown would lead to improved customer service in Dubai, but obviously business is not that bad.

EL thanks for that link - what a great read!
