Website: Internet Crime Complaint Center
July 22, 2007 – 6:52 am 
The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C). Don’t you just love all those acronyms? Why can’t the feds just make up a name and go with it like the rest of us. That criticism aside, this is a great outfit and their website is loaded with some really useful information about cyber crime.
For law enforcement agencies, IC3 provides a central referral mechanism for complaints involving Internet related crimes. In fact, they are currently warning of two new e-mail scams. The first involves e-mail messages that claim to come from the FBI or its director, Robert S. Mueller. This scam even includes pictures of Mueller, a seal, letterhead, and/or banners. The messages are usually fake inheritance notifications or lotteries.
The second scam involves e-mail claiming to come from U.S. soldiers overseas. These messages normally request personal information or money. As should be the case with all of this e-mail trash, just hit the delete key.
