ATM Scam Email using FBI to scare readers

Well folks....they don't get much worse than this. In this email scam the sender claims others are Imposters claiming to be from the FBI in order to scam you and get your 11 million dollars. Instead, this scammer claims that you need to send him $300 to get access to your 11 million since they 'claim' to be the real group working with the FBI. They even go so far as to use fraud by claiming the email is written by the Director of the FBI.

This is a shame. Just the mention of the FBI is enough to scare many people. We hope this post will help many of you understand the extreme levels these scammers will go to in order to take your money.

Also, any time you receive these type of emails, misspelled words and bad grammar should raise alarm because people dealing with amounts equal to millions are generally more educated and professional in their work.

Here is a copy of the email scam we received today. We don't make any claims as to the validity of this email, and we remove phone #'s and email addresses to protect our readers.

Nigerian ATM Scam

This email scam was so important the sender emailed it to us 3x in one day. Either

personal information.
