I don't know if anyone has seen this site, but with all the various Email Hoaxes and especially the chain letters that are around and just meant to clog the internet, this site could be a good read.
As everyone will have had something of the sort in their Emails.

One that was doing the rounds offline last year was a card being put through your letterbox saying a large parcel had been delivered 'while you were out' and had been sent back to the courier delivery depot about 100 miles away. The company would be happy to redeliver the parcel if you called the depot and paid a 'redelivery fee' of something quite reasonable, like £2 processing fee (which they regretted having to ask for but as they had carried the parcel a long way on a fools errand...etc). The fee could be sent by cheque to a box no. address or paid by card over the phone where you would be able to leave a convenient time & day for delivery to avoid the same thing happening again. Being a small amount the scam was catching a lot of people, mainly those who did a lot of on line auction shopping as they would regularly be getting parcels delivered.
