I cannot believe that people actually buy into this crap....

WHY would the FBI "Counter-terrorism" division want to send ME money fro international Lottery and Gambling? Then reference it through the "Fraud Monitory" unit. (uh... .I didn't misspell that... I think our "Scammers" need a dictionary. I suspect they meant Monetary Unit).

Please read the email that is horribly composed by the "FBI" (Yea, right...)
