is that address in Los Angeles in USD?
And it is not even the correct address, which google tells me is:
Federal Bureau of Investigation Los Angeles
11000 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90024
The question is:
Are there any stupid people out there who *ever* fall victims of emails asking them, e.g, to provide that bank details so that they receive a gift of a million dollars?
I'd be very interested to find out if the number of these people is strictly greater than zero.
Takis, here is one:

No, this guy doesn't need a course in English composition. He needs to think that his piece is perfect idiomatic English, so that fewer people fall for it.

Why can't they get prosecuted for impersinating FBI ?
I just lost my ATM card the day I got this and started reading it and just cracked up. The sad part is elderly people who are uncomfortable with the system anyway fall victim to this all to often
