TACONIC
136 COONBROOK RD
POB 69

And its a check for $2,000 (signed by a SHAWN S ANDERSON). But thats all that was in the envelope. I looked up the site and there is a legit site : http://www.taconic-add.com/ Just VERY VERY strange. I dont know if anyone else got anything like this?

On the outside of the envelope it says:

Dear Tara:

We received your e-mail. Thank you for taking the time to write us about your concerns.
The sender of the email is falsely identifying FedEx as the originator of the email. Our Internet Security department is aware of the situation.

However, if you still have the actual email in your inbox, please forward it to [email protected]. FedEx's IT department will terminate the IP address.

Attempts have been made to disguise emails and websites that appear to originate from FedEx. Our company does not send emails advising that we have specific goods or merchandise in our possession and require up front payment by money transfer before the goods will be delivered.

FedEx does not take part of or are affiliated with any organizations offering, special purchases, loans or investment opportunities. Especially when there is "Free" gifts that require you to pay "shipping and handling", "redemption fees" or "taxes" before delivery.

Be also wary or be cautious when you are about to receive an unexpected check, money order or cash from an unknown Shipper. These financial instruments may be counterfeit.

We hope this information is helpful. Thanks again for taking the time to contact us.

GOod MOrning,
How are you doing today,first of all,i would like to apologise sincerely for not corresponding with you all this while,reason being that i was out of office for the past week,I sincerely apologise.
I would like to have you updated as to what is on ground,a client of ours sent in a payment to you,the payment was for 2000usd, and the delivery is meant to be delivered today,through fedex courier services,i believe by now you should have the package with you else here is the tracking details(791077855850).
I would need you to follow the following instructions and adhere to them strictly as you are on probation and you have benn listed for another payment due you soon
First,once you have the payment at hand you need to send a confirmation email you have it,including a cell number you can be reached.
Secondly,once you have done that and we've verified it,you need to have the payment cashed and deduct a fee of 150usd,your fees,then have the rest posted to the chief accountant through western union excluding the transfer fees,below is the information you would be sending the rest to.

yea def a scam. I contacted the BBB, FBI and Internet Fraud Alert :)
 
A similar thing happened to a friend of mine. He put an add on craigslist for some techie gadget he wanted to get rid of for $100. He received an email from someone wanting to purchase it from out of state which was no problem with him. He received a check for $850 the next week with a note with a sob story asking him to sent the extra cash back after he cashed it. After further inspection the name on the check didn't match the signature nor did it match any info in the emails and the email headers gave a 4th set of credentials. After speaking with the FBI they told him to rip it up.

I wonder what the FBI's answer will be to your situation. I'd check your credit with the three credit bureaus in the next few weeks too if you haven't done the free checks this year yet.

Good luck
 
Why don't I ever get anything like this? I work for the Sheriff's office and we have a very close relationship with the County Attorney's office. I'd love to get something like this.

Dear Beneficiary,

Sequel to the Ongoing New Year Compensation Program organized by the UNITED

This is an organized New Year Compensation Program for the "REDUCTION AND

Nations. We are using our reputable and well known organization to let
you know
that your e-mail address was gotten from your Country's electronic e-mail
directory as one of our chosen beneficiaries for this Year 2008 Program. We
have figured out some difficulties in our last edition of this program, that
most of our beneficiaries have their benefits unclaimed because of the recent
rampant scams on the internet.

Due to so many scams on the internet, 60% of our beneficiaries yearly have
their grants unclaimed. Really, we understand the fact that online scams are
deteriorating by the day, this is why we have taken some measures and our time
to enable our beneficiaries to be ascertained of the fact that there is
professionalism in the way we will handle your benefit with befitting claim.

However, we have made a profitable and neccessary arangement for you in order
to make your claim a befitting and reality one. Then, we made an
agreement with
a reputable and well known delivery company, FedEx Courier Service in West
Africa where your Compensated Price would be dispatched and delivered to your
address, and deposited your Draft with them. Now, I implore you to contact the
FedEx COURIER COMPANY (TRACKING DEPARTMENT) as soon as possible to know when
the delivery of your package or consignment would be effected because of the
expiring date. And for your information, all Delivery Charges including the
Insurance Premium Fee and Clearance Certificate Fee have been duly
paid for, to
FedEx.

The only money you will send to the FedEx COURIER COMPANY to deliver
your Draft
directly to your Postal Address in your country is $300.00USD (Three Hundred
United States Dollars) only being the Security Keeping Fee for the Courier
Company so far. Again, don't be deceived by anybody to pay any other money
except $300.00US. We would have paid for the Security Keeping Fee too but they
said "NO" because things have to be done and handled professionally
and respect
the states of the Law governing transfers of this measure. Please we urge you
to contact them in case of demurrage.

NOTE THE FOLLOWING

1. THAT DUE TO THE NATURE AND AUTHENCITY OF THIS PROGRAM, ALL INTERESTED
BENEFICIARIES ARE TO NOTE THAT THEY ARE TO PROVIDE THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATIONS
FOR CLAIMS.

2. THAT FOR YOUR CLAIMS, WE IMPLORE YOU TO HAVE AGREED TO THE PAYMENT OF
THE SECURITY KEEPING FEE REQUIRED BY THE COURIER AGENT FOR THE EFFECTIVE
DELIVERY OF YOUR PACKAGE TO YOU. IF YOU HAVE AGREED TO SETTLE FOR THE SECURITY
KEEPING FEE, THEN YOU CAN NOW E-MAIL THE DELIVERY SERVICE UNIT FOR YOUR
PERSONAL INFORMATION.

3. THAT WE DO NOT NEED YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IF YOU DO NOT AGREE
