Who knew that Donald Trump would turn out to be a Nigerian prince

[Scooter]

In my email this evening:

Hello
Please, read this and confirm;

In a recent meeting held with the FBI Director concerning debt
reconciliation, the U.S President Mr. Donald J. Trump has given an order
to release all the outstanding overdue contract payments, winning prizes,
compensation funds etc. which the Obama administration refused to pay to
their respective beneficiary over the past 8 years.

Following the records on my desk, it was revealed this morning that you
are among the beneficiaries that have not received their fund due to the
strict policies of the past administration. Meanwhile the total amount
that will be released to you is ($10.5 Million) which will come via Global
Automatic Teller Machine Debit Master Card as instructed by the FBI
headquarters.

However, the below information is needed as to enable the
profiling of your ATM Card and its delivery to you:

Phone Number:

Address:

Underneath is the contact information of appointed dispatch person whom
you are to forward the above requested details:

Contact Person: Mr. Brad Carpenter
Text Contact : +1 (803) 403-9233

Once we receive this information, we will proceed without delay.

Mr. Richie Darren
FBI Representative

I was looking around for this on the inter tubes. It seems to be written with more panache than your run of the mill Nigerian prince things.

Brad Carpenter is an actual FBI chap - this link is to his Linked In profile. I didn't know that FBI let their guys do this but I don't see why not.

He is apparently

Title FBI Cyber Division - Supervisory Special Agent
Dates Employed Aug 2014 – Present
Employment Duration 6 yrs 1 mo
Location New York, NY

•Manages FBI Cyber Operations with the National Cyber Forensics and Training Alliance (NCFTA) in New York
•Established collaborative partnerships with the Financial, Energy, and Pharmaceutical Industries to mitigate cyber risk.
•FBI Liaison Financial Systemic Auxiliary & Resiliency Center (FSARC) in New York City
•Special Agent investigating complex computer and network intrusions and cyber crime for the FBI New York Cyber Crimes Task Force
•FBI CISO Academy Ambassador

If you look down the page at his licenses and certifications he is apparently a 'Digital Extraction Technician.' In fed speak that's a DExT. Well now. There is definitely a joke there somewhere but I am too much of a gentleman to attempt it. In British parlance 'pull your finger out' or 'please extract your digit' means 'get on with it' and of course has no sexual connotation of any sort.
