Response after submitting post with full headers
to https://tips.fbi.gov/

Dear Mr. Lomax,

THIS IS NOT AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE

Thank you for your submission to the FBI Internet
Tip Line.   Your information is being evaluated at
this time by one of my Agents, and will be
forwarded to the appropriate FBI component.

For your information, the Internet Tip Line (ITL)
was created on 9/11/01, in response to the
terrorist attacks upon America.  We quickly
established a mechanism for the public to submit
information to the FBI via the Internet, and we
received our first tip at 10:31 AM that first day.
 Director Mueller has since made the ITL a
permanent part of FBI operations, and we have thus
far received over 750,000 tips from around the
globe, from which thousands of leads have been
sent to FBI Field and Legal Attach� Offices for
action.

Initially, almost 100% of the tips received were
related to the terrorist attacks; now,
approximately 45% of all tips received are related
to almost every other FBI criminal program, e.g.,
drug trafficking, organized crime, money
laundering, pyramid schemes, child pornography,
fugitives, bank robbery.

Our operation is completely automated and
paperless.  Submitted tips are received
immediately, reviewed within minutes and
prioritized by trained Professional Support
personnel, and Agents set action leads within the
hour, as appropriate.

I encourage you to share this information with
your family, friends, and co-workers, and
encourage them to not hesitate to submit
information they may deem of interest to the FBI.

IMPORTANT - NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

The FBI does not maintain an email address to
submit information or attachments to directly;
therefore, please do not reply directly to this
message via your email client.  The FBI maintains
an automated system that is designed to track all
information received, to ensure that all tips are
addressed in a timely and efficient manner.
Therefore, please visit the FBI.GOV Web site again
should you have occasion to submit additional
information.  We WILL NOT open or respond to
"reply" email.

Sincerely,

David N. Rushing/ktw,
Supervisory Special Agent
FBI Headquarters
Washington, D.C.
