Of course I never open attachments, some naughty person might be sending me a virus or something.

The email read...

" Dear Sir/Madam,

we have logged your IP-address on more than 40 illegal Websites.

Important: Please answer our questions!
The list of questions are attached.


Yours faithfully,
M. John Stellford


++-++ Federal Bureau of Investigation -FBI-
++-++ 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Room 2130
++-++ Washington, DC 20535
++-++ (202) 324-3000"

I did wonder there for a moment if this place was one of the 40 illegal sites since it's one of the few places I don't use a proxy when visiting.

And just so I dont get into trouble for posting "fluff"....I would like a definition of fluff. Does this mean you want me to only post essays on �-mesic atoms and quantum statistics? Just what is wrong with a little light and entertaining "fluff" once in a while?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm????

Too Late. We are the FBI. You are under Arrest. Stay where you are. The police will be here to apprehend you shortly.

You are now a witness in the Michael Jackson case: show up at the courthouse on Monday.

You really should contact your local FBI fraud unit and forward this message along to them.

For the vindictive thrill value, of course.

Oh dear..... this house is a mess and I haven't a thing to wear!

I was recruited by them 10 years ago right after I finished up at the University. They always need auditors I was told. Of course that's until I saw the pay scale and I'd have had to move to Detroit! ewww...
