That was the whole email what should i do??Is this email real? (If not where should i report it to?)?
so fake....and i dont know what your supposed to do with this? 100% fake though
It is most certainly fake. For a while, I received emails similar to the one you have described. I tried blocking the email address only to receive more emails all from different email addresses. However, this problem is not an issue for me anymore. That is because I found scambusters.org and I subscribed (it didn't cost me a penny), and that cleared everything up for me. :)Is this email real? (If not where should i report it to?)?
100% Fake

1 - The head of the FBI is not going to communicate with anyone but high level government officials

2 - the FBI would never give away money or get involved in bank transfers

3 - ALL FBI emails are from @fbi.gov



As the others day forward this to the FBIs IC3 division for investigation then delete it
The many grammatical errors and misspellings should tip you off.



It鈥檚 some scam. Very common.



And if you think about it, do you really think they鈥檇 send this lame email when $10 million bucks are involved?



Rule of thumb: When something seems too good to be true, it usually is.Is this email real? (If not where should i report it to?)?
It's full of spelling errors and is obviously a scam. Just ignore it, it isn't worth bothering to report, thousands of these things are being sent around.
Not real forward to IC3 (internet Crime Complaint Center) run by the FBI and the FTC.



http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx
delete it
IC3.gov (Internet Crime Complaint Center) FBI a redirect to fill out a form to make the complaint on will be shown.
I would look up you local FBI office and report it to them.
Faker then fake.
scam
No, the email is a fake and there are several indicators.



First, The FBI does not initiate any contact with you via email. They would contact you in person.



Second, The FBI is not in the business of forwarding money to people.



Third, The FBI does not ask for money.



Four, official email addresses always end with the entity as the domain. in this case an FBI email would be agentsname@fbi.gov



I would contact your FBI office, while they don't really care about scam e-mails, they do care when someone poses as an FBI agent.
