(No such division of the FBI exists – but it looks official, to a three year old 🙂 )

(So here I am warned to look out for any imposter emails, and further mails/correspondence I might get from “anybody” – and lastly, we have an official FBI seal, but strange that Director Mueller would be using thehomebuyersrep.com site for an image of his signature.)

Ok, I am done pulling this apart there were way too many grammatical errors to address; however, I am sure my sister Jeanine will have a field day.

Bottom line, be warned, just because the images look real, and they come from the FBI’s website, doesn’t mean it’s a official.
