waterfowler_gal Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 I have been getting these emails non-stop through my work email which is our main email for our website too. So I called the FBI and the number on the email was correct and I guess a lot of people have been calling them asking about this email... So if you get this one don't open it... just a bunch of B.S. Dear Sir/Madam, we have logged your IP-address on more than 40 illegal Websites. Important: Please answer our questions! The list of questions are attached. Yours faithfully, M. John Stellford ++-++ Federal Bureau of Investigation -FBI- ++-++ 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Room 2130 ++-++ Washington, DC 20535 ++-++ (202) 324-3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Re: COMPUTER VIRUS AGAIN Thanks for the warning. Heard about that on the news this morning. There are a couple of others, think one is claiming to be a survey of sorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: COMPUTER VIRUS AGAIN Yep, its a fake. The FBI (or any other legitimate organization) NEVER sends out unsolicited emails. You have to sign up with them and be in some type of security position to get their alerts. FYI - My chief security officer did receive an alert from them today warning us about the bogus email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILSNIPER1 Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Re: COMPUTER VIRUS AGAIN 1) Do you guys actually open E-Mail from people you don't know? 2)If you do.. WHY?! 3)DON'T OPEN E-MAIL FROM PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW!! I have a couple e-mail accounts I use, one is for family/friends, one is for hunting & photographic site's & the others are for sites I have joined that send spam/BS to you. The account for family/friends has to be a pre determined SUBJECT, other wise it gets deleted! If it's FW: RE: ect it gets DELETED too! I get junk e-mail like.. SUBJECT: Grow /\ B!gg3r *@&$! FROM:\/!AGRA. SUBJECT:PLEASE UPDATE YOUR ACCOUNT INFO. FROM:ACCOUNT MANAGER. YEAH.. I'm going to update my account info right away!! LOL NOT! I don't feel sorry for anyone who gets nailed by a nasty virus from opening an e-mail from just anywhere! I have better things to do with my time than re-formating my HDD & spending half the day re-installing everything! Later, Phil B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
