FBI ATM Beneficiary Email Scam

This particular email scam has been around since 2008 and is still circulating. It claims to come from Robert Mueller III, the Director of the FBI. Mueller does actually hold this position, which makes the scam look more reputable. The content of the email essentially wants you to contact the “ATM Card Center” and provide them with personal information, in order to obtain your missing money ($11 million in fact). Both the content and grammar of the message seem suspicious. At the end of the email, Mueller warns you to ignore impostors and only contact the aforementioned ATM Card Center. Please remember that the FBI will never contact you through email and to never distribute personal information to unverified sources.

Clips of the message are shown below.
