Another FBI scam

The FBI will not contact you to tell you you have won money. They will not address you as "recipient". If you get an email from the FBI saying they have money for you, it is likely a scam. If you think it may be real, call your regional FBI office (not from the phone # in the e-mail), and talk with them about it.

     ATTN:   RECIPIENT           This is to officially   inform you that it has come to     our notice and we have thoroughly completed an investigation with the   help     of our Intelligence Monitoring Network System that you legally won the   sum     of $800,000.00 USD. from a Lottery Company in the      United States of   America.     During our investigation we discovered that your e-mail won the money   from     an Online Balloting System and we have authorized this winning to be   paid to     you via a Certified Cashier's Check.          Normally, it will   take up to 10 business days for an     International Check to be cashed by your local banks. We have   successfully     notified this company on your behalf that funds are to be drawn from a     registered bank within the      United States of   America     so as to enable you cash the check instantly without any delay,   henceforth     the stated amount of $800,000.00 USD. has been deposited with     Bank Of America.           We have completed   this investigation and you are hereby     approved to receive the winning prize as we have verified the entire     transaction to be Safe and 100% risk free, due to the fact that the   funds     have been deposited at Bank Of America you     will be required to settle the following bills directly to the Lottery   Agent     in-charge of this transaction whom is located in Oregon, United   State of America. According to our discoveries, you were required to     pay for the following -                   Deposit Fee's   (Fee's       paid by the company for the deposit into an American Bank which is -   Bank       of America)               Cashier's Check       Conversion Fee (Fee for converting the Wire       Transfer payment into a Certified Cashier's Check)                 The total amount for   everything is      $470.00 (Four Hundred     and Seventy USD.) We have tried our possible best to indicate that this   $470.00     should be deducted from your winning prize but we found out that the   funds     have already been deposited at Bank Of America and cannot be accessed by     anyone except the legal owner (you), the winner; therefore you will be     required to pay the required fee's to the Agent in-charge of this     transaction via Western Union Money Transfer Or     Money Gram.
