    Dear Valued Customer ,

    Top of the day to you. You are welcome to FedEx West Africa. In respect to your mail which indicates for the release of your package, Nisreen Ahmed told me he was going to contact you regarding the package he dropped with us at our branch office here in West Africa . The package which is sealed contains a check of $800,000(Eight Hundred Thousand States Dollars) and is right here on my desk waiting for it to be dispatched.

    You can as well come down to this branch to pick up your package . Nisreen Ahmed came to our branch office last week to place your check on out going 24Hours delivery; he has already paid for the insurance fee and the delivery charges. But he did not pay for the security keeping fee which serves as demurrage due to the fact that we did not know when you will be contacting us via mail or phone to inform us that we have your enveloped type package in which the check is included, so we advised him not to pay for the security keeping fee of the package to the company yet but we informed him to contact you on time so you will not have to pay more than $350 USD on demurrage.

    Please we do not operate COD (Cash-On-Delivery) on this type of fee. (This serves as the demurrage fee)

    All you need to do right now to get your enveloped type package in which the check is included delivered to your door step is to go ahead and pay the security keeping fee of the company. So far, the fee is $350 USD only. You are to come up with this fee as to process the delivery of your package for immediate dispatch. Once you make the payment of the security keeping fee, I shall send to you the Scanned Copy of the Airway Bill and the package order number as well as the package tracking number in which you can use to check your package status at the FedEx branch nearest to you and also on our website online.

  • Yahoo 2011 Lottery Scam Revealed!

    Below is the exactly email content I received from this email address nn–890@att.net with a name of “yahoo claiming award”. Before opening this email, I was not surprised anymore with the content saying that I am a winner of ONE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS. Because in the first place, I always received this kind of email and it goes directly to my spam folders which is really strange. Second is there is no such thing as yahoo lottery, even if you search in Google all results will probably articles about scams.
    I suggest when you encounter this kind of email; don’t immediately jump into conclusion that you are really a winner of a lottery or any online raffle because it is obviously a spam email especially if it goes directly to your spam folder. It is always good to check, do some research about it, before communicating to the sender of the email or to the address/phone number indicated on the email. I hope this can help, always remember it is better to be safe than sorry.
