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

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.

It's amazing, seems like every day you can read about some new scams out there... Wish we could water board every one of those pranksters...

No way that came from West Africa. It obviously came from somewhere in Memphis. In fact, it probably came from one or two of the guys who post on this very board.:D

These scams prey on the elderly.

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

FedEx West Africa? FedEx goes to West Africa? I hope the union is on top of this. Wonder what they'll do with THESE scope payments?

Assuming you are serious (not sure), when the CEO of Air France was asked about the FedEx expansion in CDG (new big sort facility) a few years ago, he replied, "We get a lot of business from FedEx. Any FedEx expansion could be very good for AirFrance." I've always assumed that AirFrance carries lots of our freight to destinations that we don't fly to?

I suspect AirFrance flys to many African destinations ...

I guess that MacMan's wife is also a FedEx pilot. Very cute though.:) and very quick.:D
