I recently met the head of the Silicon Valley Hi-Tech Computer Crimes
Division of the FBI at a neighboring Rotary Club meeting after his speech.
They are apparently very involved with Internet related fraud, etc. I'm
not sure if this "Mystery Mailing" qualifies as some type of crime, but
feel this *is* the kind of "anonymous" crap which needs to be dealt with,
or at least looked into/investigated further. If you can forward me *any*
point of origin evidence, I will personally see to it that the information is
routed to this special FBI unit.
