FedEx does not request personal information or payments via unsolicited mail or e-mail for goods being shipped or held.-- The e-mail claims to be from FedEx regarding a package that could not be delivered. These e-mails ask you to open an attachment to obtain the airbill or invoice for picking up the package. FedEx tracking updates for undeliverable packages do not include attachments. The attachment contained in this type of e-mail activates a virus. DO NOT OPEN the attachment. Instead, delete the e-mail immediately.

Na news be dis?Abi na playback?

the scams will stop when the youth's efforts and skills are re directed into positive and worthwhile ventures, you cant cover a tank full of waste and expect the smell to go away,or express suprise when it starts smelling and stinking up the whole room

Most of the people that get scam emails that involves names of known companies just delete them and do nothing. By doing nothing the people who are responsible for doing this kind of scams can continue and might find a innocent person that isn't that ware about this kind of online fraud.I see it as a duty for everybody that can't be tricked by this to report it on places like Nairaland to make it known to the people and to warn the ones that are trying to do this kind of scams that they can't fool me and to warn them that people are after them to get there asses in to jail!

People that scam should be ashamed! Get a normal life, an education and earn your money the legal way, like billions of other people are doing!
