Another IMF email Scam

A lot of e-mail scams and fishing attempt come in the form of an e-mail from a highly respected agency like the International Monetary Fund, or the FBI. If you get an e-mail from one of these types of places, and aren't sure if it is a scam or not, look up the real contact info for the agency the e-mail supposedly came from, and call them. (never use info from the suspect e-mail). Below is another e-mail claiming to be from the IMF.  As you can see looking through my archive, these fraudulent e-mails have several things in common  and most want your info. Remember, if it was the real deal, they already have your info.

Below is the scam e-mail:
