    I got this drivel yesterday in my email and I'm wondering if I should report this to someone ?
    Sad to say, some people may fall for this garbage and actually try calling that number which happens to be in Gainesville, Florida, a cell phone number.
    Unbeleivable !!!
    It's all Obamas fault !!!

    Lol, that's like getting a notification that you won a lottery that you never entered, let alone even heard of and saying if you fail to respond within 24 hours the prize is forfeit.

    1. You never entered the said lottery
    2. Why would any twit send only an email or a letter as notification instead of simply making a telephone call or a personal visit.


    It's unbelievable how stupid this crap gets...

    at least you know the penalty for being a terrorist is "imprisonment of less than 5 years". That doesn't sound too bad.

    I got the DHS ransomware virus on my home PC where it locked the computer and showed a message saying I had downloaded child porn and that the authorities were coming to my house, I better not try to destroy any evidence, and by the way if you go to Walgreens and get a PayWire account of $300 your computer will be unlocked.

    I thought to myself, well $300 isnt too bad of a penalty for child porn, why aren't all the sex offenders just paying that instead of going to jail for decades.....

    Actually, the number you listed is a landline. 352-316-7### belongs to a landline company going by the name of BANDWIDTH.COM LLC, CLEC which is a VOIP company. So, it is definitely not a government agency and they are using VOIP because they know it is extremely difficult and expensive to set up a Title III on VOIP so the chances of them being caught in a wiretap are much more unlikely.

    Here is what you do. Highlight that email. Find the delete button and click it. Then immediately empty your deleted items.

    If it were me, I'd call them and using a Liam Neelson-esque voice.... I'd angrily demand that they deliver my detonators immediately or else I was going to find them and kill them. :)

    I got a weird message on FB awhile back from an alleged hitman. Said they were hired by my ex and that they knew my routine and my family and if I didn't contact them right away I was basically doomed. Oh, and if I contacted the police that they would go after my family first. I replied "Bring your A game." ;) LOL

    Typical scam email. Google "scam baiting" and see what fun people have with these people. It'll keep you reading for hours

    I used to do it when I had a lot of time on my hands, its amazing what you can get the nigerian scammers to do if they think money is coming their way.

    Yeah, no government agency ever used a bogus front of a legitimate business to hide its actions.....I mean the CIA never dreamed of such a thing.
