In case you missed it, Steve Linford of Spamhaus, posted to the NANAE
newsgroup indicating he had been contacted by the FBI who also want to
follow up with any Rita Scams ASAP. Instructions are please forward any
scams that arrive in mail to your local Spamhaus volenteer. (IF you
don't know any you can forward them to me, and I'll make sure they get
there).
