This number is connected to a 7.5 million dollar transaction of which Im due this money.  Mr. Lamorde (Director of Operations for Economic and Financial Crimes Commission - EFCC)can be reached at the 6981 number.  OF COURSE the FBI has verified that EFCC is completely legit. Mr. Robert Mueller III from the FBI states so.  HOW STUPID DO THEY THINK WE ARE - though sadly many will bite.

Got this Scam today via an email blast on Yahoo.  Hopefully, ISP's and Email providers will update their email filters and prevent some folks falling for this scam.

I to have gotten this email or emails just like it. Its irritating when you open your email and you have 118 new mail and you set up your email accounts to prevent this. GRRRR  No wonder I don't like to check my email anymore.

Sure wish this was valid! LOL

Yep, Mr. Robert Mueller III is posted on the FBI website so this HAS to be legit.  I'm really surprised that the FBI is not aware of someone using one of their employees as part of a scam.  Wow!

I am sure that thatman is a scammer

You mean I'm not intitled to 7 million dollars????? I dont understand, the email IS from a REAL FBI agent isnt it

The FBI is aware of it. That email phishing scam has been making the rounds for quite some time now and the FBI put a consumer alert about it on their website.

I am pleased that the FBI is starting to vet foreign cash scams.  Understand, the Treasury Department is usually the office that handles Nigerian 419 scams.

I got ripped off.  WHich one of you guys took the other millions!  maybe it was the FBI, I am going to sue them

me too!!!

i actually found it quite entertaining... lol

ok... some of you guys are like "i THINK this is a scam...? are you [***]...?" even if you were THAT optomistic the email address is "fbinotice@gmx.org" not ".gov" but ".org" how [***] do you have to be to think that a ".org" email address is REALLY from the FBI?

You know they COULD be undercover and not use the .gov email address.

/snicker

We all get to win $7.5 Million Yahoo!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got this scam and was impressed...they have improved the scam by using a "fbi.gov" address from the sender. I sent a copy to our local FBI office because they are now using what appears to be a real address that the fbi might want to look into! I feel cheated, they only offered me 2 million...LOL

I got a diferant agent in charge of mine SO it has to be real. I already got my tickets to Nigera, why did they come with an ak-47? lololol   lmfao

lol yeah i got the same msg. scammers need to quit. they are getting more clever.

email said i had money and it was confirmed through FBI

I got this number from an email signed by - and I am NOT making this up - Fox Mulder.  What, Dana Scully wasn't available?
