This reminds me of when undercover cops (wanting to serve a warrant) show up at someone's door with an empty TV box and they're all like, "You won this brand new flat screen TV!"

My friend got an email the other day saying he's entitled to a $10.5mil inheritance from a long lost relative. I was like, "Quick! Send them all your banking info!"  Grin

You know, it is actually a felony in the U.S to impersonate a law enforcement officer, you could report it if this spammer is annoying enough.

The fact that this was clearly not sent by anyone in the FBI makes me wonder what OP is really on about...

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.

Bonus points for scambaiting them. Or at least providing them with the contact information of any authority that investigates internet fraud.
