They said I won $800,000.00 and all I had to do was send them $500.00 thru Western Union. Then wrote they tried to take it (the $500.00) out of the Lottery winnings...but it was too late. The funds were already deposited at Bank of America and they could not access them. But if I send $500.00 they would send me a cashier's check for $800,000.00. (Yeah, Okay, Whatever!!!) Send the money first...then I will send the $500.00 once the check has been cashed and the money is in my hand is how I feel. Besides, if you win something...you don't and shouldn't have to pay for it.

I just received this email this morning. Two main differences is the amount of winnings, and they used the name Robert Mueller from the FBI. Evidently they don't use grammar or spellchecker, the way they spelled 70 made me giggle.

I constantly get emails saying I've won something but have to pay. Today, I received the same letter as the above except the winnings were different and the namd of the guy. They did put this phone number on there (1-206-973-2572). Why can't someone stop these guys? It's totally ridiculous for them to continue because there are a few people who believe this stuff and would go for it.

I got this same email....called the number and the line was busy. I did look up the number and it is a landline in Seattle, unpublished. This makes me so made because to many people will fall for this crap. I replied back to the email and told them to go to Hell.....
why do i get 30+ 419 criminal fraud scam emails a day? Everytime i track down where they were sent from and close thir email accounts.and i close thir return email accounts too.And send copys of my reports to the scammers email addresses.So why do they keep emailing me they must enjoy having to open new scam 419 email accounts. I have had these scums driving all over texas ect after fake westernunion money transfers.They have never gotten 1 penny from me but they must get money from some fool or they would not keep doing it.Who could be so stupid?If i can have them calling me from western unions reaffirming money transfers why wont the police ect just meet them there? I could bust these stupid punks everyday.
(206) 973-2572 yeah i KEEP getting this letter, and many like it! First of all, the FBI's email IS NOT blahblahFBI@hotmail.com or anything else, it would be something@gov.us.state something like that. since when does the government have google, hotmail, or any other email accounts? i mean really? These guys are a bunch of anus's. what i do is forward them all the "want to grow your penis larger" emails i get to them. (because i dont need them, i am a female)
I have been receiving these types of emails for years. No matter how many times that I've ratted out these scum bags to the detectives, Bank of America, and the FBI, the bloody idiots keep sending me the emails. If they aren't going to shape up then ship em out to Antarctica...... without a coat.
Why cant the FBI put a stop to this. Typical government bu***hit. I thought impersanting a FBI agent was a felony. Close these scam artist down!!!!!!! ..
