My mom and I have both received emails that contain False information saying we have inherited 10 million dollars.

We've received them from Malaysia, The United Kingdom, Africa, Some parts of the USA, and I'm sure there are other places too.

Mom checked the emails with the FBI's Internet Site, and found out its all BS, and and a Fraud/Scam. The FBI said not to reply to the Email.

As soon as we get an email address for the FBI, we're going to send the emails to them.

Here is a link to a website with information of a guy that had a disturbing experience with the Inland Bank,-- Inland Revenue Department (IRD)., And a few other links too.

There are dozens of scams like this. It's been going on for over a decade.

Quite a few banks, as well as other companies like eBay and Paypal, brokerage firms, etc. -- all get 'spoofed' where 3rd parties send out fake emails with the company logo. It's why identity theft is on the rise. People are tricked into thinking they're actually getting emails from the real companies, and the most common browsers (Microsoft-based) don't have the ability to easily tell you that you're being tricked.

Then there are the other foreign scams, which all revolve around some sob story about a person whose family was persecuted, or whose parent was a foreign head of state who got deposed. The email goes on to say that only you can help them transfer X-million dollars through US banks to get a commission. Again, it leads to identify fraud.

Spam is bad, and so is fraud. The best we can do is be careful, pay attention and don't let our guards down.

These scams are everywhere and quite frankly, the FBI couldn't find it's backpocket (cleaned that up for public viewing) without both hands.

I think the biggest problem is the lack of experience over the abundance of degrees. Too many college kids with no common sense. Lots o' book learning, they just don't know how to apply it.

I've had a situation with the lack of secure mail and those blank checks your credit card companies mail (non-stop). This is a prime way to fund terrorism , or just plain cons for that matter.

I had to physically take the checks to our local office and explain to "Dudley Do Right" the potential problem.

What a mess.

Probably because it's not a real bank, and the scammers are probably outside the US and thus don't care if its fraud, because the FBI can't do much about them.

Hello, it's called phishing and it happens to just about everyone. They're just high-tech scams. Ignore it.
