Total Email Scam!!
Notice how the telephone and fax number are the same???
How does that work?
You would think the FBI could pay for a separate
fax line.
At the bottom mine said,"Help stop cyber crime"
-OK posting this to help stop you!!

I also received this E-mail though the contact to send the funds was Nicolas Franco. This is the latest in a variety of different scams I've been sent.
1)  Never send out money or information to anyone you don't know .
2)  If you have to send money to win money it's automatically a scam because it's illegal to charge
   money to enter a sweepstakes or send funds to a lottery/jackpot after winning such..
3)  If an e-mail is sent to your scam or trash bin it's already suspected of being suspicious.
Be smart people:if it seems to good to be true it is.Play powerball or enter Publisher's Clearing House;
you have about as good a chance of getting a money windfall there as you will if you send funds to
these scammers.
God bless the scam artists/their time will come.

there were SO many typos in that email...smh!!!

I received this same email.  I did not respond to the email.  What I  actually did report it to the real Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3).  You can do this online from their web site.  www.ic3.gov.

Mr.Mueller(?!!)tried it again,this time with Lucas Thompson as the contact/don't reply to these scammers/throw the e-mail in the trash.

I got the same thing! Stupid ppl have nothing better to do!

I too got this Email from the "FBI"? saying as an american citizen i am entitled to protection? uhh?? stupido people i am in england born and bread. scam !! proper. i won't even send money to african charities now because of these people! where exactly does your money end up over there any way????

I knew it was a spam scam as soon as I saw the heading. Also it was in my spam file which I only look in when looking for legitimate emails that have been misdirected by the yahoo spam filter.
If anyone reading has any extra money and they give it away give it to me or some other needy person. I promise you my Thanks in return but no spam scam.

I recieved the same email today but they were asking me for 160

dont trust these people i received the same e-mail some days ago . The [***] is fake dont trust these [***] they just wanna rip u off for money sons-of-[***]

I got many of these E-mail from my Yahoo juck mail section for the last six weeks from Robert Mueller the FBI from different e-mail address.  I report it to the Abuse@yahoo.com 3 times to told them I want this e mail to stop.  They use an area code 206 is a one of the area in Washington State.  Washington, DC area code is 202.  I know this is a scam.

you actually sent the money??!!??

the odds of winning a lottery is 100 million to 1 at least. The odds of being scammed is 1 in 100. The winners are the scammers.

Always check the email header information. You will notice the email address and IP are not verified therefore not a true email from the sender.

BTW, when in the FBI ever involved in Lottery.

Get a life.

I understand the spammer who uses rob.mueller@sbcglobal.net is really an illegal alien.  He should be deported.

Yes, i got same too. I sent my 1st info. but the 2nd time they asking for more. That's when i start investigate myself. you hav a point; "to get winning money, you dont need to send morney to claim your money" This must be a scam!!

I want to know; ARE YOU A FOREIGNER?

Does everyone who received this email from the SO-CALLED source are FOREIGNERS or maybe immigrants- Maybe that could be their biggest TARGET. Dont fall for it

if it doesnt comes is 24hrs has the email states your $220.00 are screwed!

jill, they prey on anyone that uses their e-mail / I'm American born and bred/the scum will take anyone's money.

SCAM ALSO RIGHT HERE ON 800NOTES UNDER NEWS - although this article specifies FTC it also states

Look-alikes aren’t the real thing. It’s illegal for any promoter to lie about an affiliation with — or an endorsement by — a government agency or any other well-known organization.


Scammers Impersonate FTC, Promise Phony Sweepstakes Prizes
18 May 2010
“Hi, I’m calling from the Federal Trade Commission to tell you that you have won $250,000…”

The FTC has issued a warning alerting the public that someone who claims to work for the Federal Trade Commission calls to inform that the callee has won a lottery or sweepstakes.

The scam goes like this: The caller informs you that in order to receive the prize all you have to do is pay the taxes and insurance. He or she then asks you to wire money or send a check for an amount between $1,000 and $10,000.

The caller might suggest that the FTC is supervising the giveaway. He or she might even use the name of a real FTC employee. Your Caller ID might display the Federal Trade Commission’s name or a Washington, DC area code.

Don’t be surprised if you receive repeated calls and follow-up faxes. No matter how convincing the impersonation, you should never send money to claim a prize. No FTC employee will ever call to ask you to send money. Legitimate sweepstakes companies won’t either. Many older consumers and their families have reported this kind of scam, but anyone could be contacted.

Keep from falling for the lure of sweepstakes scams by taking a few precautions:

Don’t pay to collect sweepstakes winnings. If you have to pay to collect your winnings, you haven’t won anything. Legitimate sweepstakes don’t require you to pay “insurance,” “taxes,” or “shipping and handling charges” to collect your prize.

Hold on to your money. Scammers pressure people to wire money through commercial money transfer companies like Western Union because wiring money is the same as sending cash. If you discover you’ve been scammed, the money’s gone, and there’s very little chance of recovery. Likewise, resist any push to send a check or money order by overnight delivery or courier. Con artists recommend these services, so they can get your money before you realize you’ve been cheated.

Look-alikes aren’t the real thing. It’s illegal for any promoter to lie about an affiliation with — or an endorsement by — a government agency or any other well-known organization. Disreputable companies sometimes use a variation of an official or nationally recognized name to try to confuse you and give you confidence in their offers. Insurance companies, including Lloyd’s of London, do not insure delivery of sweepstakes winnings.


Phone numbers can deceive. Some con artists use Internet technology to call you. It allows them to disguise their area code: although it may look like they’re calling from Washington, DC, or your local area, they could be calling from anywhere in the world.
File a complaint with the FTC. If you receive a call from someone who claims to be a representative of the government trying to arrange for you to collect supposed sweepstakes winnings, file a complaint at ftc.gov or call 1-877-FTC-HELP. Your complaint will be most useful to enforcement officials if you include the date and time of the call, the name or phone number of the organization that called you, the FTC employee name that was used, the prize amount, the amount of money requested, the payment method, and any other details.

Well, at any rate.  They need to employ someone who knows how to draft a decent email.  This stuff is a joke....

The 206 area code is in Washington state--not DC.  There IS NO Robert Mueller in the FBI, so if you sent them your money you'll be lucky if you get a thank you card.
You aren't getting any money from Nigeria, or the Anti-Terrorist dept. of the FBI, either.
