<p clear="all">CIA.com appears to be a legit dial-up ISP. They offer subscribers a &#8220;free&#8221; <em>name@cia.com</em> email address. Which someone is using (or spoofing) for this scammy scam scam attack:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hello xxx@gmail.com ,</p>
<p>Your IP address has been logged on more than 20 illegal Websites.</p>
<p>This does not necessary means that You browsed all of this illegal content.</p>
<p>Theres possibility someone else has access to your PC, physically or someone else gained remote access to your PC machine.</p>
<p>As a matter of that, we kindly ask You to answer all our questions regarding this case in reasonable amount of time.</p>
<p>List of all our questions is available for download at http://www.some.scammy.scam.scam.trojan.link.with.a.ba.TLD/</p>
<p>If you do not answer these questions until 10.07.2008 we will start investigation and make final decision on our own. In that case, You&#8217;ll get the charge in writing soon after.</p>
<p>Please note that browsing illegal content online is serious violation of laws in many countries.</p>
<p>We expect your co-operation and prompt response.</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>This kind of attack has been making the rounds since <a href="http://www.intuitive.com/blog/fbi_you_visit_illegal_websites_spam_virus.html">at least 2005</a>, but hopefully this will add some Google-juice to debunking the CIA variant.</p>
<p>PS &#8211; This is a total and complete FRAUD. If you receive it, forward it to spam@uce.gov and your email provider as spam and delete it from your inbox.</p>
