Note: This email actually appears rather professional and purports to have issued from the FBI office in Washington D.C., a cut above the 'Honolulu FBI' email posted previously. In fact, the link included purports to lead to the official FBI website, but of course, it does not do that at all. This is rather similar to the email scams that purport to be from Ebay or Paypal or even AOL, asking for your verification of personal details. It is as fake as the rest, however... The email address was that of 'Robert Mueller 111' incidentally.
