this'll make your monday fun...

Dear Friend,
Greetings!
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirmable Bank Draft worth of (usd $1.650.000.00)ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS which my boss left with me before he travelled out,but I did not hear from you since that time. Then with the help of a friend who is a Bank manager I cashed the money and deposited it as a BOX containing African clothes with FEDEX COURIER COMPANY LIMITED, Cotonou, Benin Republic.

What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you. For your nformation, I have paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the package.

The only money you will send to the Courier & Security Company to deliver your package direct to your postal Address in your country is ($105.00 US) HUNDRED AND FIVE UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY, being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except $105.00 US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage. You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY now for the delivery of your package with this information bellow;

Contact Personr.Chidinma uche.
Telephone:xxxx
Email xxxx

Finally, make sure that you reconfirm the following infomation 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.
The infomations are;

(1.)YOUR FULL NAME.............................................. .....
(2.)YOUR CURRENT HOME MAILING ADDRESS.............
(3.)YOUR HOME TELEPHONE NUMBER.........................
(4.)YOUR CURRENT MOBILE PHONE.............................
(5.)A COPY OF YOUR PICTURE FOR
IDENTIFICATION...............................
(6.)AGE........................................... .............................
(7.)SEX........................................... .............................
(8.)YOUR OCCUPACTION....................................... .......

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 $105.00 US Dollars for their immediate action.Do let me know immediately you recieves your package.

Yours Faithfully,
Kelly

Drat....I've been caught!!!

[ChariotsOfTires]

oooooooohhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! Where do I sign? Should I email or post all my personal info on FREAKING BILLBOARD. I loathe scammers!!!!!!!!!!

[Wrecker]

Well, you know it's not from me, cause I always ask for SS#, too

I got a scam sent to me via e-mail. Looked like an official IRS document, asking me to fill out an additional form. When I looked closer, it asked me for my bank info. The IRS would never ask for that via e-mail. Keep your eyes peeled this time of year for stuff like that.

I hate that demurrage! It's always a problem for me.

What I don't understand is how can you contact FedEx when this package doesn't exist? How are the scammers trying to get the $105?

Oh wait, so the FEDEX COURIER COMPANY LIMITED is the fake comany you are supposed to send the money to? I can't even imagine one person doing this, it seems so confusing.

I had this happen to me.
Sent them $105, and sure enough, a week later $1.6 million dollars shows up
wrapped in some stinky old cloths.
The jokes on them though.. I have the $$ and they'll never find me!
