Chante,
Robert Mueller III is an actual director of the FBI nominated by former President George W Bush. However, scammers are using his name to make it sound legitimate.
Don’t bother to call the phone number. It’s a scam.
I’ve also received this exact email on yesterday and I have to say it was very upsetting. I wish we could forward this email to the FBI so that they could deal with this or these people.
I recieved this information and got real sick, i couldn’t breath, my arm got numb and I started sweating, had very bad pains in my chest and fell to the ground- I realized I was having a stroke- I took some asprin and it eazed off slowly-please find out who’s doing this for these people are no good!!zamora90@yahoo.com
I’m tired of this kind of e-mails. all they are trying to do is to get my money and scam me. well no thanks. I have no money to give . i am brock.

I have gotten this e-mail off and on for years including phone calls and such and have never been paid always want me to send money for transfer fees.
I too have been concerned that they were impersonating the FBI. I DON’T WANT THE MONEY. IT’S A SCAM! I DON’T KNOW IF THE REAL ROBERT MUELLER IS CONTACTING ME AND THREATENING ME. i DON’T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH A SCAM
Thanks for sending a responce back. We need to prosecute these scammers and put then in jail.
I’ve been getting these scam e-mails for years now and I know that these people most think that Americans are real stupid to sent them money to get money that we have suppose to have inherited but they are wrong and you weep what you sew.

I have information you need Please contact me.I hope they spend the rest of their lifes behind bars for what they are taking from hard working americans PLEASE GET THEM
I have also been receiving these letters, not only from Robert Mueller, but also from a Rev. White, out of W. Africa… I thought it was HIGHLY illegal for someone to impersonate(even in writing)any kind of local or federal officer of any kind… That being said, why can’t the REAL F.B.I, or some other agency, catch these people and stop them from defrauding people in this manner??? This country, OUR country, is supposed to be the best in the ENTIRE world at stopping criminal activity. So then why are people losing their “lives” to these kinds of scams??? Clearly, someone, has dropped the ball here… Isn’t this “internet terrorism”!!!!!!! So WHY, isn’t HOMELAND SECURITY, or ANY OTHER AGENCY, protecting US from THESE terrorists!!!!!?????

MUELLER I DONT NO HOW TO GET THAT DOCUMENT CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME GET IT I DO NOT WANT TO GET IN TROBLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH PS THAT MONEY IS TO HELP THE LESS FORGEMET. GOD BLESS YOU
You know. This shows how gullible and greedy humans are. Those of you who fell for it are paying for your greed and your inability to understand simple common sense. You know deep down that even if this imaginary 10 million US dollars existed, it isn’t yours to begin with. Yet, you would knowingly persue it as if it were yours. You didn’t earn it and you don’t deserve it. This is precisely why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Pay attention people. Stop living a dream and instead make it a reality by working for it. Earn every penny you have. Yes, these people are rotten scoundrels to the core, but they wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for greedy gullible people.
I recieved this email.

Attention: Fund Beneficiary,
This is an official advice from the FBI foreign remittance/telegraphic dept. it has come to our notice that bank of Nigeria has released 10,500,000.00 U.S dollars into bank of America in your name as the beneficiary, by Inheritance means. The bank of Nigeria knowing fully well that they do not have enough facilities to effect this payment from the united kingdom to youraccount, used what we know as a “secret diplomatic transit payment” (S.T.D.P) to pay this fund through wire transfer, they used this means to complete the payment.
They are still waiting for confirmation from you on the already transferred funds, which were made in direct transfer so that they can do final crediting to your account. Secret diplomatic payments are not made unless the funds are related to terrorist activities why must your payment be made in secret transfer, if your transaction is legitimate, if you are not a terrorist, then why did you not receive the money directly into your account? This is a pure coded means of payment which we have had in the past has always been related to terrorist acts, we do not want you to get into trouble as soon as these funds reflect in your account, so it is our duty as a world wide commission to correct this little problem before this fund will be credited into your personal account.
Due to the increased difficulty and unnecessary scrutiny by the Uk/Usa authorities when funds come from outside of America, and the Middle East, the F.B.I crime commission has stopped the transfer on its way to deliver payment of $10,500,000.00 through a secured diplomatic transit account (S.D.T.A).

FBI Director
After reading the email. I got really nervous. I was like. WTF?? What is going on? I had no idea what the document is and where to get it. I am not a terrorist either. Rev.White and Abba Musa has contacted me too. Don’t believe anything they say. These kind of emails. Makes me sick. Lucky I have a strong heart or I’d be dead because of a heart attack lol.
I also just received this email. Can’t believe it is still around.
When I recieved this email. I contacted the FBI and ask if they could tell me if this is a real and legit email. The only they told me is that , unfortunately they can’t help me with this and refered me to this site lol.
i have recieved an email just like the others. it has gone so far as the man has called me. he also sent me credials and both robert s mueller and agent henry shawn. like that other lady said in broke and he wont get anything out of me. i just wish there was a way to catch them.. that way they dont hurt or steal from anyone else
i have had this kind of messages bout they now threten to put you behind bars for moving money out of nigeria
Hi,i keep getting such messages frankly i am tired
Anyone who believes that the FBI would send out such a poorly written, obviously literally translated letter with such a bogus topic, deserves to get ripped off. For example: “THE C.B.N BANK NIGERIA KNOWING FULLY WELL THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE…” Knowing “fully” well?? Um no! And again with this: “Note that the fund is in the BANK OF AMERICA right now, but we have ask them not to credit the fund to you yet…” The FBI would NEVER call it “the” bank of america….it’s just bank of ameria and it’s ASKED them, not ask them not to credit. Come on people – use your knowledge and your literacy skills – recognize that this is a literally translated letter, poorly written at that.
