FBI warns of new e-mail scam
The Salt Lake City office of the FBI is warning of an e-mail scam purporting to come from the FBI director. It claims a large amount of money has been deposited into your bank account and they want to know if it's terrorist-related. If you send your bank account number, your full name and other personal information, they'll check to see.
"The FBI advises the best thing to do if you receive this e-mail or one similar is to immediately file a complaint with the FBI, then delete it and ignore it," FBI Special Agent Juan Becerra said in a statement.
The scam can also be reported to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov.
