Someone's got my number. I've gotten three emails lately saying there is a problem with FEDEX delivering a package to my address. They threaten to charge so much per day if I don't respond. I forward it to fraud(at)fedex.com then DELETE DELETE DELETE
Hey Gary,
Does this actually have your address, I have been getting the same scam, but the address is one I do not recognize.

No it doesn't have my name or address which indicates a form letter. Says my postal code isn't specified. Want me to print enclosed letter and take it to the post office. No way I'm going to open the attachment. Wording: "The label of your parcel is enclosed to the letter. Print a label and show it at your post office." (Why would I need to do that?) Signed FEDEX Global Services. This is the third email like this I've received in the last couple days.

That is a virus containing email fraud, do not open the attachment, it contains a virus. Been around since 2011.

The best way to avoid getting caught in these traps, is to never click on a link in an e-mail. I usually do not eve use the links provided by ebay when dealing with a willing bid, but go to my ebay site and then finish the transaction. Never, never,never click on a link in an e-mail... well the porn links that a friend sends from China might be safe... no, maybe not!

The FEDEX one is new to me. Maybe it's the same group but one supposedly from UPS was making the rounds about a year ago. Like it was said earlier: if you don't recognise it dump it. If it's legit they'll get to you probably by mail.
