I'm Rich!

I got an E-Mail from the FBI today:

URGENT ATTENTION


ATTENTION BENEFICIARY,

I am agent Brian D. Lamkin, from the intelligence unit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and in collaborations with the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL). We just intercepted/confiscated two (2) Trunk Boxes on diplomatic transit at the Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta Georgia.

After thorough investigations, we found out that the person with the consignment (trunk boxes) containing $4.2M.USD, was deliberately diverting the $4.2Million to a different direction.

The legal back up documents contained in the boxes bear your name, and we have received confirmation from the Ministry of Finance of the country of origin and they appropriately confirm you as the rightful beneficiary of the fund.
Furthermore, after cross checking all the legal documents we found in the boxes backing you up as the beneficiary of the funds, it became known to us that one of the documents is missing. This document is very important and until we get the document, the boxes will be temporarily confiscated pending when you will provide it. The much-needed document is the Diplomatic Immunity Seal of Delivery (DISD). This document will protect you from going against the US Patriot Act Section 314a and Section 314b .

You are therefore required to get back to me within 72 hours so that i will guide you on how to get the much-needed document. Failure to comply with this directive may lead to the permanent confiscation of the funds.
Do keep us posted and forward to us all emails you get from all suspected impostors for proper filling and legal action.

Yours Faithfully,

Brian D. Lamkin,
Special Agent Incharge
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
INTELLIGENCE FIELD UNIT
2635 CENTURY PARKWAY N.E.,
SUITE 400
ATLANTA, GA 30345 USA

Does anyone think it's suspicious that a G-Man uses Hotmail (and has an inability to write grammatical sentences)?

[Rage1331]

Well he said "keep us posted and forward to us all emails you get from all suspected impostors" so you should probably send him his message back.

Call the number, ask to speak to Brian D. Lamkin? There is a picture of him on the front page.

You never know, maybe he is just an illiterate FBI agent without access to a telephone.

...and a more than passing resemblance to J. Edgar

[Time Monkey]

I say keep this going. Has potential to be hilarious.

[L-A]

Oh, look, a false identity on the Internet!

[Joe Nerve]

I got the same email. Collected mine already. I'd hurry if I were you. My new jet is freaking awesome. And I was finally able to buy mom that house I always wanted to. My guys name was agen Michael though. Hmm... maybe yours is a scam.

[stratovani]

I get these emails all the time. I just send them back full of "not for prime time" language!

[runmikeyrun]

Let me guess... you'll have to wire "confidence money" to somewhere in nigeria...

And an FBI agent with a hotmail address... seems legit.

[Rush-2112]

Just forward it to the FBI, that'll kid him

[yem]

You asked for cutbacks in spending right? The Feds now use hotmail. Obey!

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits?
Puttin' on the ritz
Different types who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits
Puttin' on the ritz

Dressed up like a million dollar trooper
Tryin' hard to look like Gary Cooper (Super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
Or umbrellas in their mitts, puttin' on the ritz
Have you seen the well-to-do, up and down Park Avenue?
On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air
High hats and arrow collars, white spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime for a wonderful time

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits?
Puttin' on the ritz
Different types who wear a day coat
Pants with stripes and cutaway coat, perfect fits

Puttin' on the ritz, puttin' on the ritz

Downtown, uptown, get your kicks at the Ritz
Dine 'n' wine but not 'til nine, the time is right for us to tonight
We can move, move to the rhythm, you can move
Dance to the rhythm, nice and easy
I wan'tcha to move Put it on, puttin' it on, puttin' it on, puttin' it on the
R I T Z
How 'bout you and me, says
Gotta dance, gotta dance
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
Why don't you go where fashion sits
Puttin' on the ritz, puttin' on the ritz
Puttin' on the ritz, puttin' on the ritz

It's quite the crime to be impersonating a federal agent.

Couldn't hurt to just forward the email to the one in the actual Atlanta FBI link provided above.

[SBsoundguy]

I'd call the Atlanta FBI office and inform them.

[Pilgrim]

All your FBI are belong to us.
