ER....is this for real?
Check out this freaky e-mail message. Any chance this is legit?
[ QUOTE ] From: Admin@fbi.gov Subject: Your_IP_was_logged Dear Sir/Madam, we have logged your IP-address on more than 30 illegal Websites. Important: Please answer our questions! The list of questions are attached. Yours faithfully, Steven Allison *** Federal Bureau of Investigation -FBI- *** 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Room 3220 *** Washington, DC 20535 *** phone: (202) 324-3000 [/ QUOTE ] It doesn't seem possible that this could be true, especially as I don't know what they could be talking about. Illegal websites? 30 of them? I don't think I've even been on more than a handful of porno sites since I got this computer. Attached is a zip file, which I don't want to open and get infected by if this is some kind of a hack or hoax. |

The FBI would find you in person if this was true.

Ah, I see, thanks.
I'm not wise in the ways that people can fake where a message is from, or even that they could. |

Yeah, I should know better. That's why I didn't open it. But I'm not really aware about faked e-mail addresses. Didn't know that could be done.

One more thought; quit the kiddy porn and you can sleep much sounder.

[/ QUOTE ] There is no validation on sent stuff, so an email can appear to come from absolutely anywhere, and not be the real sender's email. I know cos my own site was used in spamming as the sender address, and I got back hundreds of bounces etc. It sucks. |
