We do see a few  almost believable 419 ( advance fee fraud) scams from time to time. This even more laughable attempt than yesterday’s version definitely isn’t one! The scammer only want $525 as a special one time only custom clearance charge.

I never knew the FBI director used a Japanese email address to send emails or have a  reply to yahoo email address.

Remember many email clients, especially on a mobile phone or tablet,  only show the Name in the From:  and not the bit in <domain.com >. That is why these scams and phishes work so well.

the lady that contacted them, earlier and presented some
