[IP] more on EMail Scams and the FBI -- darned good question jdf
From: "Michael A. Keller" <Michael.Keller@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Actually, the Secret Service works on the Nigerian scam. Here is a site
and a quote from it. I regularly send new versions of the scam to the
listed e-mail address.

If a Nigerian says they have millions of dollars waiting for you to
collect, forward the email with the subject "419 sample - no financial
loss" to 419.fcd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx for the US Secret Service to investigate.
Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud (also called 419 Fraud) has been going on since
the 80's with faxes, and has recently become common with email. If you
receive faxes for this, forward to the USSS on 202 406-6930 with a cover
sheet giving your contact details and stating "no financial loss".
