| Not long ago my computer was locked. It contained a message saying that it was from the FBI and I must pay a fine of $200 in 72 hours or else I will be arrested. It said to pay the fine with MoneyPak. So i decided to call MoneyPak myself and ask what's going on. They asked me "Was it a message from the FBI?" I told them "Yes". Then they told me that this was scam virus. The told me to type "moneypak fbi scam removal" in any online search engine to find instructions on how to remove the virus. I was able to successfully remove the virus from my computer. I want to alert the online community about this. Here's a photo I've taken of my computer screen at the time my computer was locked. | |

| Happened to a friend of mine a few months ago. He was about to pay said fine before one of my other computer savy friends told him to not proceed any further, and he got the virus off of my first friend's computer. | |

| Here's what kinda gets me about people who fall for this scam:
"Ok, so there's a whole bunch of bad shit supposedly on your computer....child porn, terrorist threats, etc......oh, but if you pay 200 bucks, it's all cool..."
You'd think that the FBI would just come and arrest you rather then give you 72 hours to pay a 200 dollar fine... | |

As of December 2010, we owe China $1.164 trillion. Our national debt has increased over 200%. This is exactly why we need to higher taxes on the wealthy, let alone criminals. http://www.davemanuel.com/so-how-much-money-does-the-us-owe-to-china-85/ | |
