FEDEX 419 SCAM, WATCH OUT!

Warning, pictured left is the face of a Nigerian 419 scam artist; his name is Mr. Ezenwa and he is desperately trying to fleece you of your money just to in their local parlance, "kill dead body" - ocholu igbu ozu? In a wider context, he wants to get rich (make it big) quick without much sweating? This criminal is fronting Fedex to try and scam you of your $190 dollars? How pitiable that your $190 dollars is all what this bandit needs? But stop, he must be and the whole world including the real Fedex wants your help to bring this Nigerian 419 criminal to justice! Mr. Ezenwa has not heard of the Dora Akuniyili's re-branding effort to salvage the image of Nigeria which his likes are destroying or better still, have destroyed? Please take a good look at the face of a Nigerian 419 criminal and deal with him accordingly! You are looking at the face of "Icheoku Most wanted Nigerian 419 criminal" and please help us, help the authorities catch him today! Contact EFCC, the Nigerian police, Interpol, FBI or simply write to the Facilitator@icheoku.com with information on the suspect!
Icheoku has received so many letters purporting to come from FedexExpress, asking that we send them some money in order to receive a registered express mail? Concerned because of the absurdity of this request, we contacted Fedex and were advised that a scam, using their norm genre is afoot and we should be wary. So should you receive similar mail, please Fedex advises that you forward it to them via abuse@fedex.com.
There are several alarm bells with this email from "FEDEX EXPRESS PLC" so called?
1. Fedex has their own domain portal and does not domicile their website through YAHOO? Their website is @Fedex.com and not @ Yahoo.com which makes fedexexpressp@yahoo.com suspect.

2. The amount purportedly ready to be sent to you in this parcel, pictured right, is stated at $2 million dollars bankers check and you wonder why you? In their own writing, "This is to notify you that your parcel is still in our possession, this parcel contained an International Cashier Bank Draft/Cheque worth the sum of $2 Million dollars only and it is ready for delivery to your door step. Meanwhile, before the delivery or shipment will take place, you are advice to send to us the following datas mention below:?

3. Their provided address is FedEx Nigeria Head Office 70 International Airport Road Mafoluku, Lagos. Tel +234-8067611519.

4. The gist of their mail is "your package on my desk ready for instant dispatchment... 46744 MR SAM BROWN MD FEDEX COURIER EXPRESS DELIVERY Call me for more details, +2348067611519 Custormers Service Hours--Monday To Saturday:Office Hours Monday To Saturday:" ( they ).

5. Their grammar is puerile and should be enough to raise the red-flag as they could not even spell customer in "customer service hours" above correctly? Also their unceasing request for the $190 dollars will tip you off, of some weird desperation by these folks in Nigeria. A reasonable person would expect, if you have $8million dollars with you to give away, why are you demanding for a "paltry" $190 dollars from someone else? Why not just keep the largess to yourself or give it to your family member? But that is the spam, they just want to fleece you of your $190 dollars, period!

Now a little read of the offensive 419 scam letter,
*******************

Now, so many things are wrong with this criminal Nigeria 419 scam mail, but suffice it to say that the real Fedex charges shippers upfront fees for their services, before taking delivery of any parcel for shipment. Real Fedex do not second-guess the cost of freight as they have measures and scales to weigh the parcels correctly for shipments. In other words real Fedex provide to a shipper the actual cost of shipment which is normally paid upfront before receiving and shipping such parcel. But these criminals are so desperately looking for your $190 that their air-heads forgot this cardinal policy of Fedex! Also if it were the real Fedex, whatever money they ask or receive should be payable to their corporate account and not to one faceless criminal somewhere in Lagos Nigeria?

You have now been put on notice, so do not let these Nigeria 419 criminals get hold of you as there is no parcel to be sent to you from their "Fedex"? They are fraudsters and like virus are hiding under a look-alike Fedex name to try to scam you. Give them a bloody nose, delete any such received mail from FedexExpress Nigeria or simply forward them to abuse@fedex.com. Do not fall prey to their mediocre scam tactics, Icheoku has warned you!
