As far as your local FBI goes, here is what we need: The email headers are crucial. If you do not know how to get the headers, http://vww.spamcop.com/help_with_headers/ is a good link for instructions on how to expose these. (I will assume most everyone on the list knows how to do this). Next, go to www.ifccfbi.gov. There is a link at the top labeled "File a Complaint". Click on this and begin to fill out the form. In step 4, there is space for "Additional Information". Paste the header information into here and then paste the body of the message. This section will only take 12000 characters. If the message is too large, simply use Notepad or some other text file format and paste all the information into this. The next step will allow you to upload a file. Next, if you want you can also send this information in an email to the Portland Division's email (Portland@private). Be sure to tell us that you have completed a report with the IFCC, if not we will be sending it back requesting that you do. Last, be sure to hang onto the original email. We may need to get it from you later. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. Phil R. Slinkard Special Agent Cyber Division - Portland Federal Bureau of Investigation -----Original Message----- From: owner-crime@private [mailto:owner-crime@private] On Behalf Of Rob Jacobsen Sent: Friday, August 15, 2003 7:54 AM To: Crime Subject: CRIME How-to question Since there has been a bit of discussion regarding online scams. I thought I should ask what is the best method for sending the offending e-mail to the authorities? Should I convert it to a file and attach that or forward the message or ???? I'm sure they will want all the headers and such to tell where the message originated, so what is the best way to preserve that infomation and get it to the right hands? Thanks for the education.
