CONFIRM OWNERSHIP(PARCEL)

First this morning is an email telling me that FedEx have a bank draft for me. All I have to do is pay the scammers $286 for its release. This email virtually says "this is a Nigerian 419 scam" as it says my colleague who sent it is in Nigeria for three months. It even gives me a Nigerian phone number. But wait. What's that email I'm supposed to reply to? Yahoo.com.hk - Hong Kong. And where did the email come from? Brazil. Truly international scamming. Do you suppose I should forward this one to Interpol to give them something to get their teeth into?

Back to reality - it's a scam. Pure and simple. Delete the email and don't reply.
