Is this FBI email scam real?
No way! That's a scam to the third-degree! All the phishers are doing is creating a message (supposedly sent to you by the FBI) to scare you silly. Don't fall for their trick. Spam the message straight into oblivion immediately-repeating, immediately!!!!
Reply:I've never seen anything like it! They are threatening to report you to the law inforcement agencies if you don't supply the info they want? They are supposedly acting on the behalf of Paypal and sign their mail with the FBI seal? That sounds like a really stupid scam!





Forward such a mail to:





phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com


http://www.spamcop.net/


Federal Trade Commission spam@uce.gov


Treasury Department 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov


Internet Fraud Complaint Center: http://www.ic3.gov/


http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/re... - this site contains links for various countries





Here's how to do the forwarding bit: click the crtl key and at the same time click the "forward" button to forward a message as an attachment, mac users should click the "apple" key and click "forward" simultaneously.
