I received this email shortly after the Hurricane
Katrina hit New Orleans. Watch out for similar emails from strangers.
Every disaster is used as an excuse for the scammers to try to con people. |

be making payment via USPS.I got an acount with fedex so you don`t
have to worry about shipping.
Gloria.
Notice she refers to it as "the item" and never tried to negotiate.
So I "GOOGLED" her emial address and it brought me to your site.
419.bittenus.com.
Is this emial address involved in suspisious and fraudulent activity?
I think I may just refuse this offer non-the-less.
Thanks.
