To whom it may concern;

In cooperation with the Department Of Homeland Security, Federal, State and
Local Governments your account has been denied insurance from the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation due to suspected violations of the Patriot
Act. While we have only a limited amount of evidence gathered on your
account at this time it is enough to suspect that currency violations may
have occurred in your account and due to this activity we have withdrawn
Federal Deposit Insurance on your account until we verify that your account
has not been used in a violation of the Patriot Act.

As a result Department Of Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge has advised
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to suspend all deposit insurance
on your account until such time as we can verify your identity and your
account information.

Please verify through our IDVerify below. This information will be checked
against a federal government database for identity verification. This only
takes up to a minute and when we have verified your identity you will be
notified of said verification and all suspensions of insurance on your
account will be lifted.

http://www.fdic.gov/idverify/cgi-bin/index.htm

Failure to use IDVerify below will cause all insurance for your account to
be terminated and all records of your account history will be sent to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation in Washington D.C. for analysis and
verification. Failure to provide proper identity may also result in a visit
from Local, State or Federal Government or Homeland Security Officials.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

Donald E. Powell
Chairman Emeritus FDIC

John D. Hawke, Jr.
Comptroller of the Currency

Michael E. Bartell
Chief Information Officer

Well, it was inevitable, Joe. This is an election year, they had to nail
the Democratic leadership to prevent disaster in November.

I'd report this one to the FBI Internet Fraud site:

the Treasury Department.

Yeah, whatever......... I'm sure someone would take a dim view of that sort
of impersonation.......

http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/interne...cam/index.html
CNN) -- E-mail users are being warned about a new identity theft scam that
tries to snare victims by accusing them of violating the government's
anti-terrorism Patriot Act.

The fraudulent message appears to be from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) and asks people to verify their identity by clicking on a
bogus Web link.

I read it to my wife and she said that she thinks it sounds like a
scam to her. I told her that she was sharp as a banana.

That didn't go over real well.

I told her That I loved her more that I love my brand new Delta table
saw and now she isn't speaking to me.

Women are weird.
