"I left Your Money at The
Courier Service"
or "Security Company" Scam
FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa
"Mrs. Nora Adams", "MR. RICHARD WOODS"
"fedexservices_express@live.com"
If you receive an email from Mrs. Nora Adams claiming they hadn't heard from
you, or owed you money, and left it at "FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa", and now you need to contact MR. RICHARD WOODS at
fedexservices_express@live.com 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, West Africa" and tell you to contact
MR. RICHARD WOODS 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 MR. RICHARD WOODS, who presumably works at "FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa" is
having you write to him at "fedexservices_express@live.com". Shouldn't he have a real company address like
"MR. RICHARD WOODS@FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa.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, West Africa" - Have you ever heard of FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa? What is it's
website? Why wasn't that in the email?
Actual scam reply email (One example - the scammers constantly change
names, dates and addresses!):

Greetings!
I have been waiting for you since to contact me for
your Confirmable Bank Draft of $800.000.00 United States Dollars, but I did
not hear from you since that time. Then I went and deposited the Draft with
FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa, I travelled out of the country for 3
Months and I will not be able to access my personal email.
What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX
COURIER SERVICE as soon as possible to know when they will deliver your
package to you because of the expiring date. For your information, I have
paid for the delivering Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate
Fee of the Cheque showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor
Terrorist attack in your Country.
The only money you will send to the FEDEX COURIER
SERVICE to deliver your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country
is ($350.00 US) Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier
Company so far. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money
except $350.00US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because
they don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage.
You have to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE now
for the delivery of your Draft with this information bellow:
Contact Person:MR. RICHARD WOODS
Email Address: fedexservices_express@live.com
Telephone: +(234)803-851-7181
Finally, make sure that you reconfirm your Postal
address() and Direct telephone number to them again
to avoid any mistake on the Delivery and ask them to give you the tracking
number to enable you track your package over there and know when it will get
to your address.
Let me repeat again,try to contact them as soon as
you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to pay them
their Security Keeping fee of $250.00 US Dollars for their immediate action
You should also let me know through email as soon as
you receive your Draft.
Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Nora Adams
