Lurkwithin, you can't report this to the FBI. They have plenty of other things to do. They will just ignore it. I get these emails and I simply trash them. People make it more complicated then it seems. Don't be an idiot and respond.. just send it to the trash can. I mean come on.. report it to the police, report it to the FBI.. talk about over-reaction.
 
Um...

The FBI does want you to report this scam to them. It robs a lot of folks that don't know better. I have gotten this in the past and everytime I forward a copy to the Feds.

Wow for someone that claims to be up on everything Giancarlo, you sure missed the boat on this one.

right off the FBI page:
[font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Some Tips to Avoid Nigerian Letter or "419" Fraud:[/size][/font]​

  • [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]If you receive a letter from Nigeria asking you to send personal or banking information, do not reply in any manner. Send the letter to the U.S. Secret Service or the FBI. [/size][/font]​
  • [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]If you know someone who is corresponding in one of these schemes, encourage that person to contact the FBI or the U.S. Secret Service as soon as possible.[/size][/font]​
  • [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as Nigerian or foreign government officials asking for your help in placing large sums of money in overseas bank accounts.[/size][/font]​
  • [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=-1]Do not believe the promise of large sums of money for your cooperation.[/size][/font]​

"If you receive a letter from Nigeria asking you to send personal or banking information, do not reply in any manner. Send the letter to the U.S. Secret Service or the FBI."

The FBI unfortunately already received this type of email. Tracking emails is more difficult then tracking cell phones because of something called IP spoofing. You are the one misisng the boat. Just trash the email, and stop being foolish. besides I know more about law enforcement then you do in these matters. It is nearly impossible to track these emails down.

Knowing all this sh*t, you must be about 300 years old...
