I have recieved many of these scam emails from Nigeria, and lately from the FBI ( ??? ) I called the FBI to ask them what to do with them and they gave me an email address to send them to. Which I have. But I have also asked them if they are recieving them and have asked them [several times] to respond just so I know that they are even reading them. I HAVE NEVER RECIEVED A RESPONSE FROM THEM ON ANYTHING I HAVE SENT THEM !!! Do you want me to forward these scam letters to you ?? BJD
In this case, I would say no. When I talked with the FBI for the story, they told me that this was a new twist of the Nigerian Phishing scam. They are now seeing a lot of emails with that FBI twist now. Rest assured, the FBI is aware of this scam, and have active investigations ongoing in Nigeria.
