[QUOTE="RTURNSONLY, post: 1067694, member: 42148"] These a**holes in Nigeria really got balls. This is a copy of the email I got today from one of them. These jerks will try to scam people just about any way they can possible think. For fun, I went ahead and tracked the AB# provided fedex.com, and indeed, there is a package with that tracking number that left Nigeria 3 days ago and is "Currently in transit - pakage available for clearance" in Memphis, not in California like the email states. Note I am not located in Los Angeles, CA where the package final destination is. I bet anyone the $5m ATM card they are giving me that they send this package themselves to who knows who in CA, and are sending out thousands of emails similar to the one I got to see who takes the bait and send them $72.00. These computer crooks are getting more and more sophisticated and to great lenghts to commit fraud. I also included the transit info on the package as per fedex.com. [I]U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs Washington , DC 20520. 15/12/2012 11:45:15 Am ATTN: FUND BENEFICIARY Good day to you, This is to make you understand that this agency has taken a different dimension in trying to find a suitable method on how to deliver your ATM CARD which is valued at the sum of $5,000,000.00 USD to your address in which the package is right now in California, USA and has been there since FedEx Courier Company stated that the package is now available for Clearance. So you would now easily remit the over-charged fees of $72 USD so that the Courier Company could correct your delivery address and then get the package delivered to your address immediately as we are about closing for the year. The Government has mandated that this package must be delivered to your address within 1 week from now or rather be returned back to Nigeria as unclaimed property. If you are still interested in receiving your ATM CARD then you will be forwarding to us your personal contact number and your correct delivery address so that it could be changed immediately and then to enable FedEx Courier Company make the delivery to you. Below is the details of your package so that you can personally track it to see the status and since when it was shipped. FEDEX WEBSITE : [URL='http://www.fedex.com/']www.fedex.com[/URL] TRACKING NUMBER: 899575417896 So please do go to the FedEx website and track your package to see the current status and do understand that we did inform the Courier Company to hold on a little while to enable you send the required fees so that the delivery could be made to your address. Do send the payment to the account officer over there in USA as you package is no longer in Nigeria and will be ready for delivery as soon as the release fees of $72 USD has been received. RECEIVER NAME: PAUL HAYWARD ADDRESS: 811 WEST SALEM AVE INDIANOLA IOWA 50125-2346 USA TEXT QUESTION: IN GOD ANSWER: WE TRUST AMOUNT: $72 USD Do send the payment details to us as soon as you send the fees and the reason why you need to hasten up with the fees is because of the time schedule to enable the agent get this package delivered to you without any further delay. THIS IS THE FINAL STEP NEEDED TO GET YOUR PACKAGE DELIVERED TO YOUR ADDRESS AND DON'T FORGET THAT YOU DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO GET THIS PENDING MATTER CONCLUDED OR STAND A CHANCE OF LOSING THE ENTIRE PACKAGE.
