FBI Investigation

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.

Subject: You have been reported!

Dear NewGrounds

We got a report on you. The FBI has to investigate this.

If it ends up being crime you can get from 5 to 20 years in prison. Because of this, we need more information about you so we can investigate further.

We are going to ask you for some infotmation later on in this email. You'll need to reply with all the information needed and it must be accurate and valid. After this we will contact you again with information on this case.

WARNING: If you do not reply within 72 hours, we will send special forces to get the needed info from you.

We need all the information below:

Title. First name. Middle name. Last name. Telephone number. Company (your name if none). Street address. Country. City. State, region or province. Zip/postial code. Name of the bank you use. Telephone of the bank you use. Current balance on bank account. Credit or debit card from bank provided. Name as shown on card. Card number. Expiration month. Expiration year. Security code from back of card.

Copy the needed information list and write your information next to everything. Reply to this email with it.

NOTE: If you do not have a credit or debit card, go to your bank and get one.

Know that your information will be safe in the FBI directories.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation

First off, they spelled "information" as "infotmation". Failure to proof read is already an obvious indicator.

Secondly, the FBI wouldn't need to ask you this information. They can either attain it from public records, or just ask you in for questioning.

Thirdly, the FBI never shares details on an ongoing investigation. They would never say "We got a report on you", or state "FBI" first without explaining the acronym. This is a horrible official letter, and there's not even a seal. Something like this would come signed anyways.

Whoever sent this is clearly an idiot and didn't do their research.

My suggestion? Trap them. Send them your name and stuff, because they can probably confirm that, but give them crap details and alert the officials.

I think he's 13.

Dunso 2012-10-02 12:49:38

That didn't really look imposing enough for the actual feds.

Karo-Korp 2012-10-02 12:54:38

Telephone of the bank I use?

What? The number or...? What, you want a picture of it?

These FBI guys can be right morons sometimes.

"NOTE: If you do not have a credit or debit card, go to your bank and get one you cheap asshole."

Because Newgrounds' whole income is probably hidden under your bed Tom.

francisyfl 2012-10-02 13:05:34

thought the fbi had everyone s info ... why would they need to ask what they already know ?

The-Great-One 2012-10-02 13:16:23

You should call the FBI and ask them about this E-Mail. If this isn't legit then you might have come across something that they would want to know about.

Ghombeat 2012-10-02 13:16:48

the true FBI would had found you already, they can check your IP address and localize your position easily, also, there is not listed any crime that you have probably not done, also, again, why the fuck would FBI asks your debit card infos? I mean, it's just a spambot that is tricking you into giving it your (and newgrounds') money.

@Ghombeat:
No shit, sherlock. xD

Animarious 2012-10-02 13:44:43

As legit as that N****rian prince who wants to share his fortune with everyone.

DamnedByFate 2012-10-02 13:58:15

I (once again) get the impression that all US officials are nuts.
"We will send special forces." Could have been from a totalitarian regime as well.
"If you don't have a credit card, get one." I would feel fooled at that point.
"If it ends up being crime..." WHAT SORT OF CRIME? THEY DON'T EVEN TELL! FU-

keepwalking 2012-10-02 14:00:28

Oh noes!! Special forces are koming!!! D: Tom do zomethings!!

byte45 2012-10-02 14:16:31

Haha lol no. I have to say, out of all the things iv'e seen today, this just put a smile on my face.

SerPounce 2012-10-02 15:05:13

I lolled.

Ni3ls 2012-10-02 15:06:32

Uhm.

FrozenFire 2012-10-02 15:09:52

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD...

N***a, please.

KirbySnake 2012-10-02 15:33:01

I don't know Tom, it could be a little shittick trying to take over the indie site of all indie sites, or it could be real. Either way, you've got some thinking to do. Best of luck Tom, if it's a kid, shove your foot up his ass.

KirbySnake 2012-10-02 15:34:01

There's alot of spelling mistakes so it could be a kid, but that might be you (it better not be your spelling mistakes)

Lenke 2012-10-02 15:44:28

It is a joke(?

Malus-X 2012-10-02 16:01:05
