Interesting Spam (2 replies to this topic)

As you can imagine, we receive a lot of spam on our @icy-veins.com e-mail addresses. They are usually pretty generic, but today, we did receive an interesting one.

I got an interesting spam e-mail to one of my domains.  Basically was something about having a distant relative pass away and I was to inherit some money and to contact them ASAP so that I could get the funds.  Naturally it was being held in a Nigerian bank, lol.

So I used a little creative trickery.  I went to a site that gives a very temporary e-mail address and then used yahoo to setup so that I could use that address to send out creating a "black hole" as once the e-mail is done everything is dead.  I told them that I was very glad to find this as I was in extreme need and to please contact me via phone or snail mail.  I gave them the address and phone number of:

935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
Washington, D.C. 20535-0001
(202) 324-3000

This is the address and phone number of the FBI. . . After clicking send I laughed for hours and every person I told has laughed as well.  I still have to wonder what the scammer thought when they made a phone call and had someone answer "Federal Bureau of Investigation, How can I direct your call?"


ROFLMAO
