My wife got scammed a couple years ago in a way that was mission impossible very-lite.

FedEx showed up with a package addressed to her from a tech retailer. Odd but not unusual. Later the box was opened and there was a new Go Pro.

We started the anti-fraud routine and seemed to have things under control.

In the meantime over the next couple of days FedEx would roll by to pick up the package several times. Each time no one was home except on one attempt. My wife got a picture of the label.

I have never seen a FedEx label that had the contents listed on it. It said Go Pro in a corner. The destination was some phony tech company in Miami. We were in the process of turning the camera back in to the seller and it stayed here.

The return form never arrived. I contacted the retailer and asked when I should see it. It was e-mailed out during the initial contact. I couldn’t get the address but got one sent to me.

It had pre-paid shipping but I paid for my own UPS just in case. The camera got back and it was over.

I ran the Miami address and found a typical suburban neighborhood.

My wife was later contacted by the company fraud squad and apparently there was a little old lady that was being driven crazy by FedEx constantly trying to pick up a package.

I called FedEx and they wouldn’t tell me anything.
