SCAM email about $100m COVID-19 relief fund.
Pretending to come from the FBI (why would it come from the FBI?). It will fail most email systems due to SPF failing for impersonation.
The email doesn’t have call to action links, instead they provide two different emails (clearly not official FBI email addresses) for you to email. One of these is a dynamic mailbox.
