Money Scam
February 4, 2010
Filed under Email Scams, People
I have been receiving emails from someone claiming to be from the FBI, Monterary Crime Department, and also Robert Mueller III. It is very scary to get these emails because I don’t know if I’m gonna go to jail or not. The thing is I haven’t done anything wrong, but I keep getting these emails saying I have been awarded some money, that I know nothing about. I wish the real Robert Mueller III could get something done about this before it causes some real problems.

Cathy wake up and smell the coffee. Do you honestly believe that Robert Mueller would send you an email?
If you won a Powerball jackpot of $150 million or more I could see you making a legitimate demand that Treasury Secretary Githner prepare your 1040 and take you to lunch at the White House cafeteria. If an ordinary citizen is making a one time tax payment of $35 million or more then it is reasonable to believe that the taxpayer should be a lunch guest of the Treasury Secretary.
As for Robert Mueller; he has more important things to do than write you an email.
I got the same emails from the same scammer. He has sent about 6 so far. Just delete them.
I also recieved the same scam just this past few days only, they keep on thretening me to email some info becuase if not they will “jail” me. It was really bothering me and I replied to that email which was my mistake. how can I stop them to email me? should i change my yahoo email so that they will not access me anymore.
over the past few weeks i have recieved several emails, supposedly from Dr Edwin Kwame executive regional director united nations organization,i do not know whether this is a scam or genuine, has anyone come across this name before in regards to a scam?
i do not know why I should be receiving money from Nigeria. I do not have the
DIST to get the funds. The FBI said they will jail me. I have not did anything wrong.
They said I was to receive 10 million dollars. I do not want it if I have to go to jail.
I received this email yesterday very similar but nothing asking for money…yet

? John Mayer,
Have you ever seen this email?
Brian Kendall who says he works with united nations as a contractor is a match.com scammer .
BRENDA – - Can you shed some light on this Brian Kendall person?
My Mom met him on match.com; says he is a contractor for the UN – says he was in London, with a side trip to Kenya.
he sent her an itinerary saying he will land tomorrow morning at 1125am. Told her he would call during his layover; which he did. Told her he was excited to meet her and to be back home.
My mom is excited and believes this man could be real.
I am glad I found this post; the daughter gut of mine told me to dig deeper!
can you PLEASE contact me ASAP and let me know what he did for you to say he is a scammer?
