Hey Bruno, speaking of monikers, can you get back the Phinn account now that BurtW is gone? Did he have exclusive access to it?

Bonus points for scambaiting them. Or at least providing them with the contact information of any authority that investigates internet fraud.

As you see, I'm toying with a different idea.

You know, it is actually a felony in the U.S to impersonate a law enforcement officer, you could report it if this spammer is annoying enough.

The fact that this was clearly not sent by anyone in the FBI makes me wonder what OP is really on about...

I like boobies
This reminds me of when undercover cops (wanting to serve a warrant) show up at someone's door with an empty TV box and they're all like, "You won this brand new flat screen TV!"

My friend got an email the other day saying he's entitled to a $10.5mil inheritance from a long lost relative. I was like, "Quick! Send them all your banking info!"  Grin
