I moved the email to my other folder, just in case FBI will investigate this kind of email phishing. Besides, using the name of a name such as Special Agent John Edward from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Field Intelligence Groups (FIGs) to scam other people is a crime. There are a lot of scammers or frauds on the internet. My intention is to inform my readers to spot the scam and the faruds. Don’t make believe easily, do your own research and investigation if the email message is true by identifying the email address, the IP address and mailing address.
