| Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 701417 02/02/2012 03:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I kow they are the 419 scams but the nutty part is using the actual director of the fbi information. I suppose they are not worried about getting into trouble. I have never seen them use an actual persons info like that. The spelling is a bit better than most. |
