seems this dude used some sort of feedback form probably on netfirms.com; and as far as I can tell from his IP address he's from Venezuela...

Anyone else get such an email or am I the only target?

[tootie]

Hahaha. It's YOU that should be reporting HIM to the FBI... for blackmail. LMAO

He can't be from the FBI, he can't even speak/write English properly.

[Broda]

hehe I know

But I figured it's some sort of scam or something - he's probably thinking that he can score a quick buck being lucky sending his email to someone with something to hide

Hahaha, these scams are getting weaker and weaker. Forward that to E-Gold and the FBI.

Baby please, come on now .... do you SERIOUSLY think a REAL FBI AGENT would send an email with such poor & badly fragmented grammar such as that? "I investigated you for a lot of time ..." or "turn you into jail in no time ..." or "I WONT WANSWER ANY QUESTION"

WANSWER? Oh yea, he's so a fucking FBI agent. Please tell me you didn't really believe this bullshit wasn't a scam. LOL, that shit is just too funny.

Well, hey, I hope we've been able to WANSWER your question on the matter ;)
