Don't know of Vinny, but if he's a security guy, maybe one of his colleagues is pranking him? My college buddies did this kind of stuff to one another. They would die laughing at finding a way to legit send spam through the fbi.
Love to commit high profile cyber crime that could land me in prison, as a prank.
I find it fascinating that one can be intelligent enough to be able to do something like this but they just couldn’t put together a coherent enough email to actually fool you, especially because they seem to have a decent enough command of English. The tone is waaaaaay off though.

If you do catch them and it's too public to go after you for retribution, they'll sell a federal judiciary seat to someone willing to erase it. One of Trump's 2017 judicial appointments in the ND of Texas dismissed the civil suit against the FBI, DOJ, and Comey by name for organizing the "ISIS" mass shooting in Garland, TX in 2015. We know they organized it because local cops caught an undercover in the parking lot w…
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and most of what you've stated are not supported by your links.
> ... FBI agent texted one of the shooters before the event, "tear up Texas." [2]
> In an affidavit filed in another case the government disclosed that the FBI undercover agent had actually "traveled to Garland, Texas, and was present... at the event." [3]
> Last month (article from August 2018), the stately Belo Mansion in downtown Dallas was home to an event many have been anticipating for over a decade: the investiture of Judge Karen Gren Scholer as a federal judge for the Northern District of Texas. It was one of those rare occasions in today’s hyperpartisan environment when local jurists, elected officials and ordinary citizens from both sides of the aisle had cause for celebration — the March 7 swearing-in of a highly respected jurist who is the first Asian-American U.S. district judge in Texas." [4]
Note the date here, that judge was sworn in on March 7, 2018. What did she do on March 8, 2018? Send a message not to sue the FBI, that's what... [5]. It should be noted that the Dallas Morning News is not a left leaning publication, to the contrary it's chock full of neocons, hence the hagiography written for this judge appointed to put in a fix for a 3 letter agency. No one outside of one DC blog seemed to notice that on her first day in the ND of Texas a brand new judge, sworn in the day before, took over a 3 year old case involving the FBI orchestration of terrorist activity in at least two states. [6] Cases in which the DOJ (stupidly) prosecuting one case admitted to instigating the so-called terrorists in another case halfway across the country.

We have been made aware of "scary" emails sent in the last few hours that purport to come from the FBI/DHS. While the emails are indeed being sent from infrastructure that is owned by the FBI/DHS (the LEEP portal), our research shows that these emails *are* fake. https://twitter.com/spamhaus/status/1459450061696417792

What happened to the scammers?
So far nothing. The victim reported it to police only 3 weeks ago. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.gazeta.ru/amp/social/news/202...
For some reason the one you sent redirects me to Google Fonts CSS.

It's interesting to note how, when someone gets caught up in a scam, they don't step back and think "Woah, this doesn't make sense". Giving documents to a police officer? Special agents in another building?
This always seems to happen, too. I watch scambaiters on YouTube with refund scams, and you end up with an old lady drawing figures upwards of £10,000 out of the bank, then putting it into a box, mailing it to them... Mind you, they tend to prefer the older people because they're more gullible.
The email domain where the messages originate is from some sort of federated identity management system that was created in 2010 (here is a proposal deck [0] with technical details). Found this program simply by searching Google for the sending domain. Based on the guide for using this system [1] (see step 15) looks like this specific email address is the one that sends automated confirmation emails upon registration…
Awesome. A guide written in 2019 from the FBI that suggests Internet Explorer.

I'd like to think this is a valid question
Yes, these emails are coming from the FBI's infrastructure, but they are not legitimate.

Oh no! Best check under the bed and in the closet for those dang ruskies /s
What's the point of comments like this? Do you honestly not believe that Russia enlists hackers to poke at the seams in the US?
