I have received a scam and I almost fell for it until I looked on your web-site. My scam was as follows;; Anti Terrorist and International Fraud Division –Federal Bureau of Investication;;; Seattle, Washington Phone 206-973-2572 Contact Agent; Mr.Benson Edward E-Mail bensonedward0002@hotmail.com Phone-+234-8082507237 They told me to send them $250.00 so they would send me$6,800,000.00. Thank You for having the Web Site Barry
My first email from fake FBI saying I’ll receive $800.000.00 ATM card, but pay the fee of $125.00 last week and now fee is $200.00 for the pay. They have the nerve to use FBI’s website and their name. I have already contacted FBI to let them know about the Scam. Don’t tell someone they have that such money and they need to pay fee that goes from $125.00 to $250.00 to pay for an ATM card that isn’t real ($800.000.00). The real FBI agents need to contact us ASAP. We all need to bring down these Scams, Fraud and Fakes. Shut them Down, No More Lies. No name of the ATM card such as Visa, Master Card, American Express and etc., what is the name of the card Fake-A-Credit-Debit Card? where we take your money and leave you broke(ah ha ha ha, I laugh).
I have recieved the same email. I want to know how to get these people to stop sending me emails… Any ideas?

What ’bout a certain Ron Mills who says he’s apersonal secretary to Robert S Mueller III and Fred Owen who says he’s an FBI Special agent? Are they bonafide-members of the FBI, or mere pretenders?

I love messing with these guys. I like to “play along” with them for a few days until they finally understand that I am merely pulling their leg … then I send them a real NASTY final message, telling them who I really am and where they can shove their millions. BTW, I currently use the aka “Justin Othar Lyar” (read it aloud: Just another liar). If YOU are a scammer, you probably have had me as a “potential sucker”.
