MessageIt's probably more effective to go through the 419 reporting mechanism of the USSS, as they are lead on this kind of scam, last I knew.

Apparently the "give me your bank account number and you will get the $" scam has gone one step further. Today, they received an email informing them that they had died. This email was sent to anyone w/ the same last name. They started receiving call from relatives. The email (which I do not have a copy of yet) said. So and so died. I am the executor of their estate. Please give me your bank acct. and the $40Mill will be dispersed ASAP. 1. Who can I report this to. 2. Has anyone seen this one yet? 3. What steps does my customer need to take. I am aware that this is a spam. That it should be ignored. But I'm trying to stop all of their relatives from being cleaned out. Any thoughts? Steve --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
