WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Bureau of Investigation
issued an alert Monday about a scam involving
unsolicited e-mails, purportedly sent by the FBI, that
tell computer users that their Internet surfing is being
monitored by the agency.
The users are told they have visited illegal Web sites
and are instructed to open an attachment to answer
questions.
The FBI did not send these e-mails and does not send any
other unsolicited e-mails to the public, an agency
statement said. As many harmful computer viruses are
located in e-mail attachments, the FBI said it strongly
encourages computer users not to open attachments from
unknown recipients.
The FBI is investigating the scam. Recipients of these
e-mails are asked to report them by visiting the
Internet Crime Complaint Center at
http://www.ic3.gov.
