Topic: JFK email is a scam

[Clive]

An email that claims to reveal the secrets of JFK's assassination is a scam, security experts have warned.

The email, with the subjest line 'Who killed Kennedy?', claims to come from a dying KGB agent.

According to anti-virus company Sophos, the spammed email campaign is an attempt to lure conspiracy theory-lovers into sending over cash and confidential information to internet scammers.

The email scam pretends that the email's author is suffering from a terminal disease, and has access to declassified CIA documents, files from the former KGB, and interviews with key people that have never before been made public.

"Internet criminals are conspiring to steal sensitive information and raid the bank accounts of unsuspecting internet users. If everyone showed the same scepticism to unsolicited emails, as some do to the official investigations into the Kennedy assassination, then maybe less people would end up the victims of a scam," Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos said.
