i work for a shipping company and we get lots of those fake checks that they send that you have to send them back money because they sent you too much. people still fall for it.

Scammers have their own community, they have developped a small industry. it's like @krmills1 said...there will always be people that will fell for it...it's our job to protect ourselves.

FBI site tells you to:
To report potential e-scams, please go the Internet Crime Complaint Center and file a report. Note: the FBI does not send mass e-mails to private citizens about cyber scams, so if you received an e-mail that claims to be from the FBI Director or other top official, it is most likely a scam.

If you receive unsolicited e-mail offers or spam, you can forward the messages to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov.
