Do you remember the "SECRET" code -ya gotta have the secret code# because who ever is bringing your money will be detained at the airport and they need you to 'SEND' debit/charge card payment ( cash is not accepted) to Homeland Security Officer Mr.Screwed You at the airport to release your funds. My E-Ms always came from some banker in Nigeria.with a phone # and address in England on the same street as Buckingham Palace.I love the secure feeling of such a prestigious address and HoLaSec watching over my fortune. --They sure are a creative bunch aren't they

I got an e-mail like that. I called the local FBI office. They said "SPAM" it. Never open those kind of e-mails. You only confirm your e-mail address to the sender so he/they can sell it to other scammers. Also, never reply to them. And, of course, never give any money or information to them.

I do have a friend at the FBI office (she's a secretary there). Do you want me to put in a good word for you? Of course some of theose FBI agents are pretty good looking. LOL

LOL funny part about those scams is if the FBI were looking for you, ummm MIB (Men in Black) would be visiting you or is it blue suits !LOL Same with the CIA and other agencies..
Sad part is many people fall for these scams via the internet and taken to the cleaners, then the FBI, CIA etc.. all get involved as they all have an internet crimes unit(so I have been told). But the people who are doing this-move from location to location and have a way of disguising their IP address.

One of the newer scams going around is emails from the IRS wanting you to check on your personal info. Just so you are all aware....The Internal Revenue Service does NOT send emails.

They are scams and just a new way to get your money. Don't buy into or you will be sorry.
