Virus Alert From The 'fbi'

Headhunter · 11-22-2005, 17:44

OK, so I get to work this morning and check my email and low and behold I have an email from the 'FBI' saying that I have visited 30 illegal websights and I must answer their questions immediately!(see attachment). DON'T OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!!!!!!! There is a virus contained within the attachment. I called the FBI office in Anchorage, Alaska(no one was answering in Fairbanks) and asked what the deal was. Well, the mailing address and phone # is legit, which makes it all that more dangerous. The FBI has already recieved over 4000 complaints and their email inbox is full. Just thought I'd make everyone aware of it.

I heard about this one on TV this morning. I didn't write down the number/URL to contact if you get this though. If I find it, I will put it here.

The contact url is www.ic3.gov.

What gets me is that I only check my email at work because my home contection is slow!!!!!!

I received an e-mail warning about this too, from someone I know.

I got it too, and one from the CIA.

AND THE CIA???

Well I won't put it past those guys, but I thought it was illegal for them to operate within our own borders?

Add me to the the FBI list. Thing is that My anti virus punted the attathment every time. Seems like I am starting to get pounded with these at home and work, and I don't know why!
