This morning while doing my Sunday email reading I received the spam included below. It’s one thing to create a scam from Nigeria or Morocco, but to do it in the name of the FBI; what an idiot. Check out the email details…
From: Fbi<smleblanc@sbcglobal.net — (like I’m sure the FBI does not capitalize their name and uses sbcglobal)
Subject: FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATIONS (FBI) — (funny too how they need to give the abbreviation)
Reply: fbiofficefilebenin@gmail.com — (again, how stupid and of course its now a gmail acocunt)
(Here is the email)
