Fedex name in scam e-mail
My wife's email address seems to attract these kinds of scam letters. This is the first time I've seen something like this, using the Fedex brand name to lend authenticity:
My Name is Mrs Edith Robertsons Head of the parcel collection and delivery
services Unit of FedEx West Africa,We have been waiting for you to contact us in
respect of the package deposited on our care by Mrs Joanna Benz to be deliver
to you which contains Confirmed able Bank Draft of $800.000.00 United States
Dollars, but we have heard from you.
This is the reason you notifier,you are to contact the officer in charge of
the dispatching of the package you have to note that the package is not yet
Registrated in our network for tracking simply because we have to verify to
make sure that you are the rightful person we are contacting also note that all
fees have been paid by Mrs Joanna Benz Delivery charges,Insurance premium and
Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheques showing that it is not a Drug Money
or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack in your Country.
NOTE: You will be required to pay for the Security Keeping fee
because of demur rage.You have to contact the FedEx officer whose details is
stated below for the delivery of your package with the information below:

Anybody have a link to Fedex corporate security and do you think they would want to see this?

MM, you might start with Capt BW, the Flight Ops Security Coordinator. His E-mail address is on the last page of your last Safe Skies magazine. By the way, I get about 5-10 scam E-mail's a week in my company inbox (never one that used a Fedex package as bait though). I always just forward them to the E-mail security group. Capt BW should be able to provide that address also.

Which is why a select group of FedEx pilots are the intended target

I suspect AirFrance flys to many African destinations ...
