U haz been trolled.
Hi there! In case you didn't know, I created newgrounds. No, it wasn't made by some giant company - just some dumb kid who now has help. I also co-founded the Behemoth; we made Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers. Icon by Pegosho, banner by OmenaKettu.

Call Rig ;p
It's interesting to see people try and rationalize why it's a scam email and dissect it like it's not 100% obvious at first glance. Seriously, is there any reason to second guess it?
this be identity thieves being dicks
Isn't it against the law to impersonate an FBI official?
Its the FBI Virus.
Tom's a fugitive. Quick everyone, eat the drugs. I'm guessing you fell for it, thus explaining the introduction of the supporter system.
just keep sending them money and they'll eventually stop.
thats just their undercover e-mail address
Tom,the fbi wont ask for your credit info
Note: the FBI does not send mass e-mails to private citizens about cyber scams, so if you received an e-mail that claims to be from the FBI Director or other top official, it is most likely a scam.

They are asking for your card info. The FBI doesn't just ask you with an email. It's spam and a scam.
holy crap, you better listen to them
Crap, the Feds! RUN E.T.!
Boy, the FBI sure does want to know alot about your bank details.
I wonder what kind of SPECIAL FORCES they intend to send? The army? Special Agents like Mulder and Scully? Or WAIT, do you think maybe they mean super powers? Because that would be fucking awesome.
Is it immature to reply to each field with "fuck you"? because its what i would do, but i come from a family where the grandfather likes to blow whistles down the phone when a call centre rings up.
I love how not even half of the people commenting here picked up Tom's blatant sarcasm...
Of course this is a fucking scam and of bloody course Tom is aware of it! xD
Sounds like you've got it rough man. Let me know if there is anything that can be done... Good luck with this legal battle - where should I send the cake with the nail file in it?
supercoolmike
the importance of this email (even though its clealy fake, cuz the government would already have ur dam info.LOL) is just as important as a jury duty letter. don't do it just to see if they really go out of there way to come to your house... If they do come to the house, then that just made the day a little interesting. And if they didn't come, then nothin happened. win-win situation right there.
