FBI FEDEX Nigeria Connection

Some of you will say "huh?"

I received the data below in an email.
(I had to edit certain racist comments made by the sender.)
The fraud domains involved are:
fedex-delivery-logistic.org http://whois.domaintools.com/fedex-delivery-logistic.org
(which I previously posted here: http://netscammers.blogspot.com/2010_04_30_archive.html )
and
federalbureauinvestigation.us  http://whois.domaintools.com/federalbureauinvestigation.us

One of the domains currently being used in this scam:
federalbureauinvestigation.us  was also used back in 2008.
It was registered through "ESTDOMAINS, INC" and hosted by LOVINGHOSTING.COM
The scammer used the ficticious data:
Registrant Name:                             john doe
Registrant Organization:                     N/A
Registrant Address1:                         78 John doe
Registrant City:                             Houston
Registrant State/Province:                   Texas
Registrant Postal Code:                      77036
Registrant Country:                          United States
Registrant Country Code:                     US
Registrant Phone Number:                     +918.9190381
Registrant Email:                            bsj00@aol.co.uk

.....so much for following rules for domain registration, which says that fake data cannot be used, set by http://www.icann.org/, who by the way sets rules up it cannot enforce......
This same scammer also previously used the domain:
federalbureauinvestigation.us.ms

Someone who's posing as a representative of  "ROBERT MUELLER III EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FBI FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION FBI**.WASHINGTON DC.(Email: info@federalbureauinvestigation.us )" persists in trying to convince me I should submit a payment of up to $500.00 (five hundred dollars) to the following:

[Company Name:] FedEx Courier Service Delivery
[Director Name:] Mr.Jefferson Loony

and gives "info@fedex-delivery-logistic.org" as an email address,
with "+234-806-280-8339" as a "Tell:" Number.

Now carefully read this pitifullly sorry excuse-of-an-attempt to imitate an official U.S. Government communique.
