this is certainly spam of course, if you see such as this, just ignore and delete it. Simple as that, yeah :cool2:
 
How do you tell by spams? I hate spammer, no wonder how they got my email address
 
SSimple search spider picks up any email address that is revealed in public and is been picked up from the spammers to use it. My hotmail has been picked up - damn them unfortunately.
 
I get spam every day in my work email and I've only given the address to my landlords, VR agent and my parents besides people at works.
 
Yup, spams are troublesome yet we get used to them and all we can do is to delete them frequently. :roll:

Few months ago my sidekick pager received hundreds and hundreds of spams then suddenly it stopped somehow. I was almost going to request for my pager address change but didn't have to. Yet I do receive a spam or two once a while that is satisfying enough.
 
It is a spam email.

FedEx wouldn't be asking for those information via email. Nor mention about Bank Draft of $1,050,000.00.

NOT
 
This is not spam, this is CLEARLY FRAUD! Don't fall for it! Its fake after all.

Spam meaning something junk like advertising, for example an e mail that wants to sell you a vaccum cleaner for 250 dollars and claim to be best and true business they are selling vaccums, you may not need vaccum then it is spam (Junk).

Fraud meaning trying to offer you something but with intention of returning NOTHING. For example, this crook claimed that they got Million dollars package, expecting you to respond within time frame and pay fee to them and they promised they will give you millions of dollars (Yeah right!), then that is completely FRAUD

Thanks DHB, already deleted it. I'm just taking precaution.
 
that's why I have about 6 different email addresses for different purpose. GMAIL has extremely effective spam filter.
 
I can tell it's spam for several reasons, but I can tell just about any scam because it's loaded with first year ESL grammatical errors and 4th grade level vocabulary, as well as terms that are simply never used by businesses in America.
