Have you ever seen that we have a UPS package for you but we are unable to deliver?
Or you won a brand new TV etc? When you respond, they will tell you there is a low-cost handling fee like $1.99. The scam: you have to give your credit card number. Once they have your numbers they use it to purchase items or to get cash. (Depending on what type of card you gave the information)
I get at least 5 of these every day
