Today's Email Scam. 5-1-2013

Thanks to the Gmail Team for keeping this from me. I mean, a wire transfer from the federal reserve?

"The message "Your Wire Transfer 88450649 canceled" from Federal Reserve (alerts@federalreserve.gov) contained a virus or a suspicious attachment. It was therefore not fetched from your account ericmichael@remerica.com and has been left on the server.

Message-ID: <0944934969.OC376O0S477109@uqhtzcbohxdhp.mouxpxocgsre.ua>

If you wish to write to Federal, just hit reply and send Federal a message.

Thanks,

The Gmail Team"

Any money from the Fed tells you that it is a fraud. No government agency sends money over the internet @ no time. These people a hard up for money. What a society.

The big tell tale sign is the English language is usually missused. They almost speak in an accent. Someone takes them up on it - that is sad!

Jimmy, are you sure the Fed wouldn't send me money thru the internet?

Caryl, I don't think speaking in an accent is necessarily a bad thing?

Tammy, let me know if you made a ton of money, too.

Cindy, if I get millions from one of these, we'll all have some fun!

We could all go on trips and just vacation, I believe we have all at one time or another received this type of email. My reply back would be: You know my address send me my check. In fact, take 10% out for fees and send me the rest.

Lenn, you gotta find your own scammers :)

Sussie, me, too. But I'll keep posting them, because I think they're funny.

Graziella, I won't respond back to them. They'll know my email address is legit and ALL the spammers/scammers will start sending me money!
