I got an email this afternoon trying to snatch my information via a reply. Before you respond to this email remember,
1. FBI never try to get down to earth for a guy like your or me
2. FBI doesn’t need any funds from individual people.
Thanks to Gmail for recognizing this before I could open this. So I WARN YOU DON’T RESPOND to this one if you got it.
This is the mail I got. Let’s take a look!

The scam is not to "snatch information" but to extract money from the victim. It's a variation of the advance fee scam
