What did they want?

They said I won a lottery of 800,000.00 and that I had to send them 500.00 in order to get the check, I knew this was a SCAM!!

I received the same email saying I won $800,000.00 to send $500.00 for fees too. We all know this is a SCAM. I believe it is in your best interest to stop sending these emails - they are scams and everyone knows it let alone it is against the law to impersonate an FBI agent!!! I will be reporting this to the REAL FBI for prosecution!

Sorry - the last part was my reply to the email to this email.
Below is the information to watch out for!

I would like to catch these SOB's and lock their [***] up! I wish the Real FBI would take an interest and get these people!

I got the same one today... I wonder what the FBI thinks!! If I said I was going to give you a million bucks.. Just send me 500.00.. and said I was in teh FBI.. i think I would be in jail!

Me too...I wish they would stop sending this junk mail...I am like you...I am going to send it to the real FBI!!!

i got an email also saying i won $800,000 just needed to send $400.00 knew it was a scam how can they get away with this?

I got one too. You can cut and paste it in the online crimes section directly online at FBI.GOV.
So quit talking about it and do it. That's the only way they'll know it's out there. It freaked me out when I seen they were using real FBI info. No chance of it being real though. Don't fall for it. The FBI will probably tell you the authenticity of it.

I received same e-mail today 11/22 this is fake the big scam!!! there are not a deal a penny by a dollar for get it about, this an illusion candy $$$  to fish $500. This is not FBI this is F(Scam)I. Not eat this hook is my recommended, sincerely

It was a email with the phone #206-973-2572. It is supposed to be from the F.B.I letting you know that you have won $800,000. Of course if I send them $1,000 to cover the costs.Their physical address was 935 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington DC. The area code for Washington D.C. is 202, not 206. I would love to call just to see who answers and what they say, but that also might be one of those calls that if you call it you get charged some huge charge to your phone bill. They have sent me this same email about 4 times in the last 2 weeks.

I guess the FBI isn't doing anything.  Its january and I just got the same e-mail except now they only want $200.

I just got an email telling me to pay $600 to get $900,000 - wow what a deal!  The thing is - I was supposed to send it to some guy in Nigeria - is there $900,000 in the whole of Africa much less little ole Nigeria?  Also, I don't remember buying a lottery ticket when I was in Nigeria - oh wait I have NEVER been to Nigeria. You would think these Yahoos would try to scam people who have ACTUALLY been to the place - hmmmm!  Oh well - I really would like the FBI to get to the bottom of these things - there may be some little old man or lady that falls for this kind of scam.  Of course, I guess they have more important matters like that new most wanted dude on their list.  Oh well,  hopefully nobody falls for this scam. . . . . or any others!

dont want to brag but I've got....jajaja better deal...because they only want 200$ from me before sending me the check....

what scam i hop nobody loose money with that

I receive one of these e-mails on a daily basis - however this was the first one that indicated it was from the FBI.  Sometimes I feel like replying to the e-mail for the heck of it and playing into it-  "Wonderful! where should I forward the $200.00?" but my husband said I might regret it.
