Thread: warning

Hey guys,
This is a warning that is relevant to us as we do a lot of sending and receiving through the mail and such. This is the new scam
While waiting for something from Switzerland,I got a strange message from Fed-Ex,saying that they tried to deliver a package,and couldn't so it was waiting for me at the post office,and to click on the link for the package number,this sounded strange to me ,so I asked the mailman and called Fed-Ex,the mailman never heard of such a thing,and Fed-Ex said it was a new scam and NOT to click on the link. I thought I would just pass this on to the rest of you just in case you get one of these, I've gotten three so far,so be aware.

I got the same email not that long ago, but thankfully I wasn't expecting a package so thought it was fishy right away. Plus it was sent from a weird email address.

+1. I deleted mine immediately. Reminds me of the guy who called me on the phone and congratulated me for winning a million $ and a new car. Told me he wanted to make arrangements for me to receive the $ and the car ...... I said "Oh yeah, what is my name?" There was silence for a few seconds and he hung up.

Yea, got one of those emails a few months back too. Man I hate that kind of dodo.

Recently I got an email confirmation of shipping of some items, but it was not clear who the sender was.
This was a fedex tracking number so, I promptly went to FedEx tracking site and manually entered the number to find out I had ordered something and had forgotten about it.
M point is unless I know who is sending me the tracking info, I always type the tracking numbers on the corresponding carrier tracking site, just to be safe.

Dang Jimmy, next time set up a meet & call me.
I guarantee we will come home with something of his, maybe his car.

When i get those "you just won a milion dollar" calls, they tell me to wire some money so they can send it to me.. I always tell them "hell" I just won a million dollars! I'll come to you! Where are you? i usually get hung up on...

Got the same a week ago,Not being to bright I copied the tracking # and pasted it on the fedex site,Now I have a Trojen Horse

When i get a phone call like the ones mentioned my response is always "Excuse me does this sound like im hanging up".

Got the same, but from the German post, several times
