Got an email claiming to be from 'fedex' (location@fedexDOTcom)
Here's a copy of the text in the email Quote:
Multiple typos, and the fact that I haven't shipped anything recently also say that it's a scam. I AM expecting several packages, but shipping was covered by the vendor. So any shipping cost issues shouldn't come to me at all.

Ignore it.. or go to properties, then header and you can see the original IP or domain name it came from.
Unless they gave you a www.fedex.com routing number that matches your 'real' packages, its bogus... |

According to FedEx they NEVER send out email notices WITH attachments of undeliverable packages. If they do send an email, the tracking number is clearly listed. Canada Post, DHL, USPS and UPS have all had similiar scams centered on undeliverable packages.
