I got this exact email on 08/07/2020 and showed it to my wife and she being very smart and witty yelled SCAM and delete that piece of trash. I hope no one got scammed by this email as they make it look very professional with a nice Red Heading to get your attention.

Here's a copy:

Federal Bureau of Investigation

Field Intelligence Groups J. Edgar Hoover Building

935 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20535

Attention: Beneficiary,

I am the Deputy Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation Agent David Bowdich. We have intercepted and seized two boxes at John F Kennedy International Airport in Jamaica New York, NY 11430 coming from a foreign country that contained the sum of 4.1 million dollars. Also, inside one of the boxes was documents with your name as the receiver of the money. After interrogating the diplomat, we learned that he was to deliver these funds to your residence as an inheritance / winning prize payment due / owed to you.

Further checks show that the consignment paperwork lacks the PROOF OF OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE AND LEGAL DELIVERY PERMIT CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE. We then confiscate both boxes and release the Diplomat. The boxes according to section 229 subsection 31 of the International Commerce Regulators Code Enforcement Guidelines, your consignment lacks PROOF OF OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE AND LEGAL DELIVERY PERMIT CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE from the joint team of the Federal Bureau Of Investigation and Homeland Security, therefore, reply for direction on how to procure the two certificates, so you will be relieved of the charges for evading tax which is a jailable offense under section 12 subsection 441 of the tax code. We will ask the IRS to launch an investigation for money laundering if you do not follow our instructions.

You're therefore instructed to reply within 72 hours at that point I will walk you through the process of clearing your name. Failure to comply may lead to your arrest, interrogation, and/or you being prosecuted in the Court of Law for tax evasion and money laundering. You're also advised not to contact any bank in Africa, Europe or banking institutions for security reasons.

Yours in service,

David Bowdich
