FBI Director Robert Mueller.

It was awfully nice of FBI director Mueller to take time out of his busy schedule to email me, but I don't have any use for $2.5 million.

LOL....I got a call a few weeks ago that I could buy a promotional vacation from Bluegrass Travel - 3 days in Gatlinburg for 89 dollars. That would cover food, accomodations, entertainment - everything. All I had to do was give them my credit card number to hold the reservations.

Gatlinburg will just have to do without me.

Wow,

their grammar and spelling are much improved.

It should be, coming from the FBI like it did.

I like the capitalization of Various words to Stress them. Also, I'm glad it is United State dollars rather than United States dollars.

I'd suggest donating your 2.5 million to the U.S. government to help with their <strike>bailout</strike> recovery plan for our own ailing banks.

The name Michael Woodgate sure seems really genuine though!

He is on Facebook

And he wrote a book

Well with that kind of backing from such an up-standing go getter of person... how could you ever go wrong!?! I mean wow facebook and an author! Hell i'll send the money my self....
*looks un-ammused & then rolls eyes*

When I saw the title of this thread, my immediate thought was that it was about Pov.

My bad

My wife actually got a call from the FBI at work one day. We were engaged and she was trying to find some premium cigars for me for my wedding present. So, she started looking online, and found out that supposedly the best ones came from cuba. She had no clue that there is an embargo in place, and was inquiring about them.

About twenty minutes later she got a call from the FBI. The lady was informing her of the embargo. Scared the h e double hockey sticks out of my wife, naturally.

So,they can track down a woman trying to buy cuban cigars for her fiance, but they cant track child molesters online? Granted, they may know to hide their tracks, but still...

Wonder if they are reading this now, lol.

Probably. The words "Federal Bureau of Investigation" probably triggered some scanning protocol. And now they'll know we answer questions with questions.

We do?

Hmm... should I reveal? Well, I might as well.

My dad was an FBI agent.

I've always known your groovy Legion theories were based on actual events!

(That's pretty cool, Eryk!)

Eeek! Eryk. I am guessing no major childhood trauma from this?

And Numb3rs may not be your favorite show, lol.

Man, if only Myspace were as legitimate as Facebook, then I guess my book and that would qualify me as well!

I'm not on either MySpace or Facebook. That must be why I'll never get rich or pal around with the FBI.
