If you receive an email from Laurent D Robert claiming they hadn't heard from you, or owed you money, and left it at "FEDEX COURIER SERVICE", and now you need to contact Dr.Frank Don at info.fedexcourierservicebr@yahoo.fr to recover the money; well, by now you should immediately recognize it as a scam. Why would someone you don't know owe you a huge sum of money, and leave it at a "courier" or a "security company or "FEDEX COURIER SERVICE" and tell you to contact Dr.Frank Don in order to retrieve? It simply makes no sense. You should immediately dismiss it as a scam.
However, if you really have a desire to be a victim, and are saying to yourself "but, but, but... what if I just forgot that I'm owed a huge sum of money, or maybe they got me by mistake and will still send me the money". Well, first, we'll tell you that's just pathetic.
Next ask yourself why Dr.Frank Don, who presumably works at "FEDEX COURIER SERVICE" is having you write to him at "info.fedexcourierservicebr@yahoo.fr". Shouldn't he have a real company address like "Dr.Frank Don@FEDEX COURIER SERVICE.com" ?
Here are some other clues to the scam:
Pigeon English - Notice that as the scammer gets past the initial template email and must write free-form, how his grammar, spelling and basic sentence structure go straight in the toilet. The scammers don't even know how to use spell checkers. After all, this is a stupid, low-life criminal in the heart of Africa, who probably dropped out of school at age 5 to join a gang or militia. Obviously, real businesses proofread their emails; they look and read more professional.
Using free email account: The scammer is writing to you from a FREE email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, Excite, AIM, Gmail, etc.). Don't you think a real organization would use its own email, its own domain and website?
"FEDEX COURIER SERVICE" - Have you ever heard of FEDEX COURIER SERVICE? What is it's website? Why wasn't that in the email?
