I just received the FBI money scam email. At a glance it looks very official until you really start to read it. Basicly they are saying that 10million dollars has been held by them, and I must contact them with my information to get it.
Here is some stuff from the email.
It is just me or are scams getting more elaborate and therefor more stupid?
Anyone else got some fail scams?
*Edit*
Here is the link to the email.

What! Who uses the word tout in an "offical" email.based on our findings, our investigative department wish to warn you against some miscreants, hoodlums and touts who go about scamming innocent people by claiming to be who they are not and thereby tarnishing the image of this wonderful country. By sending out fraudulent emails without our official logo and emblem we shall release your funds immediately we receive this legal document and we will ensure that you receive your payment without any further delay.
Huh? The FBI does not want to get you into trouble from whom? The CIA?We do not want you to get into trouble as soon as these funds reflect in your personal account, so it is our duty as an international agency to correct these little problems before this fund reflects into your personal account.
If you can?t see what is wrong with this part go stop using the internet."DO NOT PRINT /FORWARD THIS MAIL ITS AGAINST THE FBI LAW"
