Your payment notice via: FedEx

My reader has been on the job again. Obviously they've had so much money now that they can't fit anymore into their brimming bank account, so they are sending the surplus to me.

It must have taken this scammer quite a while to write such a long email full of - well - rubbish. I think it wins a prize for the most rambling, incoherent scam. Like other scammers, the sender has realised there are, what they describe as "scam mails that are going all-over the world" and so they warn us to "be careful with their e-mails" so that the scammers don't put our parcel "in danger with their evil plans". The very idea. Because these people are such honest people - honestly. Or maybe not.

They aren't honest, of course. They're scammers. You haven't won some random amount that you know nothing about but just happens to be with Fedex. It's an advance fee fraud. They even tell you how much to send them for the first payment. Just delete the email and don't reply.
