Wow, thanks for that info. Yeah, I would think that if the FBI wanted to get in touch with you they would not choose to use email as a point of contact.

your welcome. I just wanted people to know so they didn't fall for this. Scammers are doing everything they can to get people's information. I cannot emphasize enough to people to beware of these types of things:
You did not win an international lottery
No one from another country left you millions of dollars
You paypal account is not in jeapordy of being lost if you do not verify your information via the link provided
Your bank or any place like that will send you an email asking you to verify information via email, that you account has been compromised to click their link to provide your infomation.
And there are many others. Just be very cautious. A lot of these emails look very official, but they are not. Become an informed consumer.
