Conclusion About the FedEx Scam Email
If you read the message carefully and analyze it, you will realize that the person behind this email message has the intention to fake people. Why should I send $350.00 to a person I don’t personally know? And a wise man will never share $1,000,000 transaction via email.
The message indicate that I should send $350 first…”Note that you are to pay for the safe keeping security fees of your Certified Cheque before delivery will be made. which is $350 only.”.

Thanks a lot.
