New spin on "Nigerian" scam
Posted: Mon Dec 22, 2014 12:13 am
Just got an e-mail from someone posing as an FBI agent, stating that my settlement of $5.9 million is waiting for me, just as soon as they get their $255 processing fee.
To blatant things about this:
1)The sender's e-mail is listed as "spam(at)uce.gov". (I checked and while "uce.gov" is owned by the Federal Trade Commission, there is no website at that domain.)
2)The e-mail I am supposed to send my financial information to is "unitedstatesdeptofjustice1(at)gmail.com".
I swear, they're not even trying anymore...
