If you have never seen one of these scam letters that can tempt you to respond, this is a good one. If you fall for this you will loose your $65.00 You will also be giving them your bank or credit card information. What they can do with that I leave to your imigination. The fedex info given goes directly to there pocket and you get at best an empty box or nothing at all. You may not be a careful as usualy because it's only $65.00 but think how many people will fall for this and I for one can't afford to loose $65.00 I am giving this to you as a warning so that you can be informed and you can pass the warning on.
I HAVE REGISTER YOUR PACKAGE WITH THE FEDEX DELIVERY COMPANY
Good day!!!
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirm able
Bank Draft of $850,000 United States Dollars, but I did not hear from
you since for a couple of weeks now. Then I went to the bank to
confirm if the draft has expired or getting near to expire and
Dr.Wilson the Director Bank of Africa told me that before the draft
will get to your hand that it will expire. So I told him to cash the
$850,000USD UNITED STATES DOLLARS to cash payment to avoid losing this
funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a 3 Months
Course and I will not come back till ending of decenber 2008.
What you have to do now is to contact FEDEX COURIER SERVICES as soon
as possible to know when they will deliver your Consignment to you
because of the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for
the delivering Charge, Insurance premium.
The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER SERVICES to deliver
your Consignment direct to your postal Address in your country is
($65.00 US) sixty five United States Dollars only being
Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, dont be
deceived by any body to pay any other money except $65.00 US Dollars.
I would have paid that but they said no because they dont know when
you will contact them and in case of dumurrage.
You have to contact FEDEX COURIER SERVICES now for the delivery of
your Draft with this information bellow;
Directors Name: Mr.Jerry bott
Companys Name:FEDEX COURIER SERVICES
Email Address:jerry1600_fedex_controller@yahoo.dk
Tel/FAX: +234-80590507831
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal address and Direct
telephone number to them again to avoid any mistake on the Delivery
and ask them to give you the tracking number to enable you track your
package over there and know when it will get to your address.
Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this
mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them their
Security Keeping fee of $65.00 US Dollars for their immediate action.
Note this. The FEDEX COURIER SERVICES dont know the contents of the
Box. I registered it as a BOX of Africa cloths.
They did not know the contents was money. this is to avoid them
delaying with the BOX. Dont let them know that box contents money ok. I am waiting for your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Hon.scottamah

There's a sucker born every minute, they say. Imagine they are sending you so much money and can't send it prepaid. What a joke. LOL

When I read this my first thought is how ridiculous everyone would realize this is a scam. After thinking about it for a minute I realize that their are a lot of desperate people who are grasping at straws to hold on. To them this might appear to be a God send, or some elderly are easily taken advantage of. I heard a older lady talking about some one calling wanting her bank information so they could verify her account, thankfully she called her daughter first to check it out.
What a shame their are so many who are willing to take advantage of people. I also feel that now that the economy is suffering that their will be a lot more scamming going on. It pays to always be alert and pay attention to what is going on around us.

Your reaction is just what I was trying to attract. Please get the word out. Remember if you had never seen one of these letters, you just might believe it.
I don't think the FBI will go after this one because the loss amount is so small.
thanks for your response
