Nope, but it gives a name, number, and extension. My friend checked out the e-mail last week and apparently it is a legitimate FBI address.

You'd think that with all the crap going on in the world the Fbi would have better things to investigate and spend their time on.

I call BS, and if it's not BS, then the fbi is BS.

An email?

I thought you meant a snail mail, real paper letter. Take it with a grain of salt.

Call it and see if it's legit - it can't hurt. YOu might as well know if you're really under investigation ;)

Right, well in theory, I thought it was a joke last week when my friend got one. But when they wrote me an e-mail using my first name on an account I have never used for public purposes, I get interested.

I advise that you take that off, at least the contact info.
I don't believe that it is too smart.
