I reported this to my local FBI office. The agent I spoke with got a good laugh and asked me to send it over. He did warn me that the Nigerians are now embedding Zombie-bots in messages that camp out on you computer looking for banking info and then cleaning out your account.

“Jedward@fbi.gov has sent an email message to the scammer. hehe.”
I noticed that too:
“John Edward (Special Agent) FBI Washington DC FBI.”
This suggests that the Nigerians don’t keep up with current events very well. Is there one single American who by now doesn’t think that John Edwards is scum of the earth? So selecting an FBI agent name that likely would conjure up his image invites needless suspicion on the authenticity of the email. Of course, regardless of the name selected, it’s hard to believe that after years of Nigerian scams, there is any American left who would fall for these transparent efforts at electronic thievery.

This is an obvious fake.
The FBI has been asleep while ACORN has stole election after election.

My best scam e-mail was a variation of the old Nigerian scam, but sent in French from the Cote de Ivoire.

Visit this link and see how others have gotten revenge and few good laughs at the expense of the scammers:
Scambaiter
I don't recommend you try to bait the scammers yourself unless you absolutely, positively know how to conceal your real identity and location. The scammers have no sense of humor and some are downright dangerous. Enjoy.
To: CholeraJoe
Gee, I would have thought the reason the Nigerians would be impersonating FBI agents is because the misspellings and poor grammar would be consistent with FBI agents.
I guess there is no honor among thieves.
