Watch Out for This Email Scam

Everyday our email inboxes are filled with garbage called spam. But some of them are actually scams intended on you losing a lot of money. Don't fall for them. Here is a couple examples of some email messages that I have received that are obviously scams. Never send money or make a money transaction from anyone that you receive an email from unless you know the person that is sending you the email. Below you will find a couple of emails that were in my inbox this morning (June 27, 2008)

Re;Indicate This Code (011827) To FedEX Express Co!

Attention; Please!

I have been waiting for you since regards your Bank draft of $2.5million Usd)
but i did not hear from you since that time.

So I decided to deposite It with FedEX Express Courier Company here to avoid expiry.I suceeded in registering YourBank

Draft with FedEX Express Courier Company Limited. to make sure it will be among of the parcel they will deliver this
week or next week and also I paid for Delivery and Insurance Charges for the delivery of your Bank Draft.

Meanwhile the only money you will pay them is their Security Keeping Fee of ($85.00) to receive your Bank Draft. I would have
paid it but they refused for some reason, They adviced that the owner should pay for the Security Charges to know the rightfuly owner of the Bank Draft. What you have to do is to contact them with their information below;

For your information: I paid all the chargs except their Security Keeping Fee of ($85.00) which they said the beneficiary should pay to ensure them the parcel is going direct to the owner to avoid sending it to wrong person. Please indicate the registration code (011827) to them when contacting or calling them or calling them at +229-93872230 Thanks for your patience.
