WHAT A SHOCK!
Anyway, this is taken directly from Hoax Slayer. Before we begin this slice of ham though, has anyone heard of the Nigerian scam letters? For those who haven't, Snopes has got an explaination right here. As for this, this is the FBI variant of the scam. Here's an explanation from Hoax Slayer.
"These types of scam email are often designed to extract even more money from people who have previously fallen victim to advance fee scams [The Nigerian scams]. Any recipients who are scared into actually sending money will continue to receive further requests for fees and personal information along with increasing threats for non compliance."
They've even got an example of such a scam on the very page where it's explained. And that's what we'll be sporking.
