Most of the calls involving this scam appear to originate from foreign countries, Couvertier said.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/fbi-outlines-retooled-scams-designed-to-prey-upon-peoples-trust-and-greed/1036843"><P><B>• Fraudulent Oprah Winfrey Show e-mail.</B></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/fbi-outlines-retooled-scams-designed-to-prey-upon-peoples-trust-and-greed/1036843"><B>• Internet vehicle sales scam.</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/fbi-outlines-retooled-scams-designed-to-prey-upon-peoples-trust-and-greed/1036843"><B>• Work from home scam.</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/fbi-outlines-retooled-scams-designed-to-prey-upon-peoples-trust-and-greed/1036843"><P><B>• Fraudulent U.S. Customs and Border Protection </B><B>e-mail.</B></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/fbi-outlines-retooled-scams-designed-to-prey-upon-peoples-trust-and-greed/1036843"><P>Here's the latest Top 5 scams identified by the FBI:</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7CF47C27-33F3-4B6E-98AB-130638C191D3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
