Warning to my pals..

 You should know that the FBI do not send e-mails to people they always talk to people on the phone or face to face, so that they can prove you are the right person. They will not ask personal information type questions. If they are the FBI, they will already know the information, so why would they ask?

These scam e-mails have an official looking appearance thank to utilizing pictures of the FBI Director, seal, letterhead and banners. These e-mails also appear to come from domestic and overseas FBI offices.

The scam covers a wide range of threats from extortion, phishing,malvare and online action scams.

To get more information on this or future cyber scams go to the official FBI website and visit the FBI page “New E-Scams and Warnings” webpage.

Here is how this email looks like:
