The FBI told me to ignore it. Mike |

They're probably too busy but if someone could trace the e-mail.... Maybe I've been watching too many TV crime shows. |

You may recall when an officer of a Colorado club had his name used to convey a threat to a power flying club in another city. We were able to ID the IP to the sheriff in the relevant county and said person was dealt with after a bit of sleuthing. |

They probably do not give much attention to known scams. Frankly,
Rachel at Cardholders Services, is a much bigger problem.

My club has a trailer for a Twin Astir that could well attract death
threats. I've certainly felt like doing bodily harm to the guy that built it whenever I have to use it. Seriously though, this is the first time I've heard of this particular scam. I've seen quite a few advance fee fraud attempts when selling two of our club gliders but never this. I suppose that as the scammer is saying that someone else tried to hire him to kill you he's not really making an actual death threat which is why the F.B.I. told mike to just ignore it. |
