This one is much more complex than some of the others... including a phone number. I personally was unsure of calling this number so thought I would put it into your hands...
 
First one I've heard of using the Oklahoma tornado. Their philosophy must be- more details, more likely people will fall for it.
Thanks for sharing.
 
I received the same thing last week......I wondered about responding to the initial e-mail, but it had an e-mail address and said they wanted to order.....I responded that I would love to help them, send me your phone # and address and such. Then got a similar 2nd e-mail which I then responded they weren't going to screw me with this scam. They said they didn't have a credit card so I told them to go to Walmart and use their cash to buy a visa card and then order directly online from my website. Never heard from them again.
 
I got one as well, referencing the Oklahoma tornadoes. Too bad these people can't spend their energies on something useful!
 
I like that response of go to Walmart and buy a prepaid Visa!I'm sorry but the grammar/English used is the biggest give away. Even folks in USA who aren't as highly educated and such still don't talk like that.
"Beautify the kitchen" ??
 
I just got this one. I think if you click on the link it can download a virus. fed exCapture.JPG

The email is a scam alert that warns recipients about a complex and detailed email they may have received.

What should I do if I received this email?

How can I tell if an email is a scam?

There are several red flags that can indicate an email is a scam, such as urgent or threatening language, requests for personal information, and suspicious links or attachments. It is always best to err on the side of caution and not engage with suspicious emails.

Who should I contact if I suspect a scam?

If you suspect that you have received a scam email, you can report it to your email provider or the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at ftc.gov/complaint. You can also forward the email to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at [email protected].

How can I protect myself from email scams?

To protect yourself from email scams, it is important to be cautious and vigilant when opening emails from unknown senders.
