Oh, adding that "God bless you" blew it! I think it is meant to make you think this is an American and God-sanctioned action, but I'll bet it is foreign-created. And adding the "God bless" part to a supposed formal document is unprofessional.

I get three or four of these things everyday. The one I love is the one from the FBI. If they want you, they'll send a real person after you!

Oh brother! If those typos don't alert you, nothing will! It's all based on greed.

Can't believe people fall for these scams that want your SS or bank acct. numbers. You NEVER give out this kind of info in e-mail or on the phone!!!!!

Right, like Ben would have my personal email address!

If it's too good to be true, it is a scam.

On official government documents he would never use Ben S. Bernanke. He would use his full name, Ben is a nickname. Also ask yourself how does he know me? There is no such thing as as a Term Deposit Facility of the Federal Reserve. Everyone just has to use some common sense when something is received, like this, and it sounds too good to be true it is a scam.

We all need to be on special alert as times get harder, the crooks get more innovative. This one however is really dumb, but as P.T. Barnum once said, "There's a sucker born every minute".

Amen!!!!!

Scam, yes. on top of that The Federal Reserve is the bank for banks, not for us little people. crazy scammer.
