What Are Courier, Delivery & Security Company Scams?

[Roxy]

Courier, delivery, and security company scams involves a pending delivery from courier companies like FedEx, DHL, TNT Express, United Parcel Service, United States Postal Service or from a so-called fictitious security company. The modality often involves the need to deliver an ATM or credit card to you preloaded with a large sum of money. Other modalities, usually involving a fake security company, will discuss the delivery of a large consignment of money in cash packaged in some sort of case or perhaps a trunk box. There is of course no money that exists at all with these scams.
