Did you receive an email from a "Mrs.Rita Jones" who
says to contact Mr.Jacob Wilson and "THE FEDEX COURIER COMPANY" Some scams are hard to categorize. Certainly
the scammer will try to steal your identity and get you to send him money, but
the text of the scam is so odd, it's hard to imagine anyone falling for it. If
this email out-of-the-blue from an unknown foreigner offering to pay you absurd
amounts of money for almost no work doesn't strike you as a scam, then you
really need to read through a number of the scams on this website and
familiarize yourself with their approach.

COMPANY to deliver your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country
is ($120 USD) Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company

$120US Dollars.
I would have paid that but they said no because they
don?t know when you will Contact them and in case of
