I say Praise God and then enjoy your weekend. It’s a scam. They would show up at your door for starters.
Talk radio runs an FBI PSA about this many times throughout the day. The ad says the FBI won’t ever contact you via email. I’d stand by until you get an email from his soup eerier, Mother of All Agents, Howard Dean.
First of all, I would be suspicious of anyone named John Edwards....
Correct. What do you propose doing?
You are required within the next 72hours...
72 Hours? What happened to my 72 virgins?
It’s your Patriotic Duty to supply them with your banking information and pin numbers. Also your DOB, SS# Mothers maiden name and copies of your passport and birth certificate.....
I thought that government correspondence always came through .. GMail?
Wait until you get my age. Checking movements transitions from a curiosity to a necessity...
There are quite a few grammatical errors ....making this email dubious at best. =.=
John Edward(s)................................... Sounds like an honest name, why wouldn’t you trust a name like John Edward(s)? FBI yet, he probably was an attorney too. Another 419 scam to send to the 419 Scam Busters.
That was my first thought exactly!
Also there is this:
many people are virtually involve in sponsorship of terrorism knowingly and unknowingly since they participate in unsolicited and security unchecked transactions which sometimes the aftermath effect of unclaimed funds becomes wheel power for terrorist sponsorship.I don't know about you guys but I neither wnat to knowingly or unknowigly involve in sponsorship of security unchecked transactions of wheel power for terrorist sponsorship!!!
Um FBI doesnt notify by email.
No jest intended. The little smiley face I left behind was an indication that what I was saying should be obvious. If and when I receive this email, it will be sent directly to the FBI and if enough folks do this, perhaps the FBI will take it seriously.
See if they’ll send you a photo of themselves holding a loaf of bread while balancing a fish on their head to prove who they are.
Yeah, like they’re going to email you about a suspicious box containing five million dollars.
From a goofy domain using an odd name.
With really bad grammar.
Riiiiiiiiight.
Methinks Congress should issue a Letter of Marque for you to deal with the sender.
Seriously, that’s what I’d do.
Send me a cashers check for 10 grand before you do anything! ;-)
Dear Agent Edward,
Since you work in Intelligence in the FBI, I’ll make the small assumption that you know where I live. You can deliver that package anywhere between 4-6 pm day after tomorrow. Please be wearing a pink tutu and purple leotards under you football uniform.
Don’t know, just come right in and ignore the ammunition boxes.
You friend,
Barry Soetero

They won’t even go after ‘Rachel’ from ‘Cardmember Services’, they certainly won’t go after some guy in a hut in Nigeria.
