suspicious email

[zach7]

ive recieved an email from fedex stating my package was to heavy for free shipping must pick the package up personally from their office.
should i be concerned about this. the order was supposed to take 10 to 15 days and tomorrow will be the tenth day. The email was recieved 3/13
WTF.... Just asking yall on what to do...just leave it alone or go get it and possibly get busted by customs....

I would call the office from a differnt phone than your own and ask if a package was there for you but dont say it is you. Fedex charge should have already been paid for or how else would it have gotten to them in the first place. Something sounds weird.

yeah man i paid for shipping so why in the hell would it say to heavy for free shipping and thats the only thing ive ordered.. And sure in the hell dont want to walk into a set up.. Appreciate the advice ill give that a shot and see what happens thanx bro

[zach7]

And how the hell would fedex have my email address

[10nispro]

its probably a scam. Someone else presenting as fedex and wants you to send money to release the package.

[zach7]

alright bro thanx for the help

It's bullshit I got the same email a couple weeks ago and I don't have anything coming in. It's spam mark it as such and forget about it.

Dont sound right .I would just wait and see if my package shows up for a week or so dont think thered any worries.

I doubt it would be a bust. They didn't tell you to schedule a pick up. They just said come pick it up. I doubt they would have a dea agent sitting there 12 hours a day for how ever long it took you to get there. It would be easier for them to dress as fed ex and come to your house. Less man hours and just as effective.

I just google it. It appears it could be some time of email virus. I would do a system restore just in case.

I got that email last week...along with the one telling me that I won the lottery in Tanzania. Just delete it and don't be so naive.

As someone who is pretty close to this company i can surely say that unless the package will not fit in the back of the van/truck it will always be delivered. The only time packages are inspected are if they are emitting an order, are leaking, making any type of noise (vibrating beeping ticking screaming ect.) or gets completely destroyed in which they would try to repackage it. Other than those reasons they have no way of knowing whats in the package and generally don't care.

definitely a scam. i never order anything online, but frequently get such emails too. its just a coincidence that you did order something. just wait for your real package to arrive in a few days.

Definitely a scam. I've gotten the same email saying the same thing and I had nothing on order from anywhere. Emails supposedly from fedex and ups. I get them on all email accounts.

appreciate the help!!! sure in the hell wasnt going either way.. thanks

FedEx can ship cars, trucks, boats etc. SO I am 100% sure your package isnt to heavy, and as one stated above, If FedEx has your package all shipping fees have been paid.

Common Sense is a blessing that some do not have

It is spam if - the email does not state specifics, ie: tracking number, origin address and delivery address. If the email does contain that info, I have no idea. I have never seen such a thing and I ship packages every day.

OK guys, the horse is dead.
