Internet scams are as old as the Internet, and they’re not going away anytime soon. Scammers try to exploit innocent victims at all costs. No one is immune–even law firms are targeted by scammers.
We recently received an email claiming to be from “[email protected]” with subject line “FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (FBI)” and the following message body:
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION FBI. WASHINGTON DC. ANTI-TERRORIST AND MONETARY CRIMES DIVISION FBI HEADQUARTERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION J. EDGAR HOOVER BUILDING. 935 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE, NW WASHINGTON, D.C. 20535-0001Attention: Beneficiary,

He was cut sending fake ATM card and Bank Cheques to people and on the investigation process a group of email addresses of America citizen who has been scam lot of money where found in his PC. They have been taken to Court for persecution.
So due to this reason the Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon and the President of the FBI James Comeby after having a separate and private meeting about these they decided to compensate the rightful owners of those emails with the sum of $3.5 million each which your email address was among the email group.

Series of meetings have been held over the past two weeks with the secretary general of the United Nations Organization Gen. Banki Moon. This ended 3 days ago, and It is obvious that you have not received your own compensation fund which is to the tune of $3.5,000,000,00 Million USA Dollars, due to past corrupt Governmental Officials who almost held the funds to themselves for their selfish reasons and some individuals who have taken advantage of your fund all in an attempt to swindle your fund which has led to so many losses from your end and unnecessary delay in the receipt of your fund.
However, the National Central Bureau of Interpol enhanced by the United Nations and Federal Bureau of Investigation have successfully passed a mandate to the current Governor of Washington DC his Excellency Governor Jay Inslee to boost these exercise of clearing all foreign debts owned to you and other individuals and organizations who have been found not to have receive their Contract Sum, Lottery/Gambling,Inheritance and the likes.

<END SCAM EMAIL>
Without a doubt, this is a scam. The FBI is not sending $3.5,000,000,00 Million USA Dollars.
Scams like these have a number of clues that can help consumers identify them as such. For example, note the horrendous grammar throughout the message and the non-American spellings (e.g., “checque” versus “check”). (We do feel for the poor fictitious fraudsters who are being “persecuted” in court and have been “cut” by the FBI.) Even the purported phone number is using the wrong syntax. The UPS tracking numbers are not valid.
Another very telling sign is the @yahoo.ca email address. Would the FBI really use a Yahoo address from another country? No.
Most of all, the scammer is requesting money. If nothing else raises a red flag, that must. The person on the end of the yahoo.ca email address will receive the $380 and run–potentially more if they acquire your bank account information.
The Federal Trade Commission has established a website to educate the public about scams like these. You can access common scam information here.
For business owners and consumers alike, the message here is, if it looks too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.
