I'm in the UK and got the same message today. And the strange thing is it didn't come through my webmail accounts (Windows Live Mail or GMail) but through my ISP mailbox.

how doggy is that i'll warn my contacts about this email

There is programs that allow you to have a fake email... just fyi. and domain.

Most government organisations don't use internal e-mail for security purposes.

Well at least the UK governments dont...

What a joke, people on the internet are getting stupider and stupider. You should honestly have to take a test and pass to be allowed to use the internet. It would stop lame fake FBI e-mails. I mean, come on. The FBI has tons of resources. If you were on illegal websites, you would probably have been arrested by them within a week. And for people not in the US, could you honestly be so stupid as to believe that you are under FBI jurisdiction?!? Your own federal agency(s) would take care of that. Please people, stop to think about what you are doing on the internet.
