I was just looking in my junk email folder and I almost missed seeing an important email from the Director of the FBI. Apparently I was almost scammed out of lots of money, which means I am entitled to millions of dollars in compensation. But the FBI put me on a blacklist for my dealings with untrustworthy individuals, so I can't get the money and might even be arrested! Fortunately the Director of the FBI believe I'm inoccent though, and they want to help me clear my name so I can get the compensation. I just need to send some personal details and all will be well. It's a bit weird that the FBI are using a yandex.com email address, but it has the name of the actual Director of the FBI in the email so it must be legit.
Edit: Someone who just won the lotto wants to randomly give me $10 million as well, and I've got a couple of million inheritance coming my way if I can just clear up a little misunderstanding about being reported to be dead. What amazing luck I'm having.
So much winning! ๐
