Have you received an email from Cisse Mouilaat the FBI's "Contact DHL COURRIER NEW YORK" , telling you "Merry Christmas And Happy New Year from Professor Cisse Mouila" and that the FBI and Dept of Homeland Security and West African Economic Monetary Union WAEMU:
"have been having a meeting with United Nations and the bank involved After long deliberation with this union West African Economic Monetary Union WAEMU for the passed 4 days concerning your Overdue payment of ($2.5Million US Dollars) presently loaded to ATM MASTER CARD";
then telling you to contact
"DR NEAL MORAN at dhlcourrierserv@hosanna.net ?
It is a scam. The FBI will never, never email you unless you first contact them. They WILL NOT EVER email you to tell you you owe money or are due to receive a refund; or for any other reason. Count on it. And the FBI, a branch of the United States government, certainly wouldn't be telling you that have millions of dollars to give you on an ATM card!
No government agency we know of, anywhere in the civilized world, contacts ANYONE by email first. Look at the email address ( dhlcourrierserv@hosanna.net ) to which you are to respond: it is not even a government address - there are many complaints that it is a source of spam.
If you hold your mouse over the link in the email you received, you would see that it does NOT go to FBI, but instead to a page on another website, which is clearly operating a scam and a fraud. We neutered the link in case it harbors a virus.
This is a simple AFF - scam - a some point, you will be asked to send money via Western Union (or "wore transfer") to cover fees, taxes, or whatever excuse they can think of that you might believe.
