We have received a phone call from your country police department that they have accepted our complain and they are staring investigation. We have also received confirmation from FBI that they are staring investigation too.

This information has been reported to authorities:

Your all contact information, your real IP address which was recorder by JAVA applet sofware.
A full copy of your website including files, emails, databases and website access logs.

I didn't use an ip hider or proxy. Am I screwed?

dude your ok.

1. if the FBI was involved, they would smash down your door, and toss ya in irons and crap already, there would be nearly no mails.

2. these sites typically do it to scare you.

3. my family has alot of lawyers, my dad particularly one, if they did anything, all they could do is toss ya a ticket for a couple hundred dollars max, which they have a 1% chance of even caring.

so dont sweat it man, relax, play some wow.

Look at the bold. And re-read it.

Would people who contacted something as serious as the FBI (In london, even though you're US) type like that? Too? Comeon.

It's fake.

Na the most they can do for a phising site is shutting it down unless it is phishing cc numbers or bank pins

**~~Liquid Malfunction~~** · 10-10-2008

oh and sometimes phising emails don't do that DX

**Drakath** · 10-10-2008

Don't Worry.Phishing Website's Aren't Really Gonna Get You In Trouble.I Do Say If That Was Real You Could Get In Trouble But There Are Fake Emailer's That Could Scare You.I also think they wouldn't say they are doing a investigation on you.Cause wouldn't that leave you with getting rid of evidence?
