I got this in my email today/yesterday and it looked kind of funny. Even if this were true, how would I redeem my "free gifts"? So, What thinkest thou?

Dear Diana,

Two free gifts are waiting to be delivered to you by FedEx as a reward for using PayPal to make online payments.

Get A Pendant with a Genuine Diamond & Gemstone in Gift Box
You will receive a beautiful pendant that includes a genuine diamond in a gift box ready to give to someone special. Have it delivered to your home or office by FedEx.

Get a Digital Camera too! You will also receive a gift card that can be used to get a digital camera delivered by FedEx to any address in the continental USA.

The gift card can also be exchanged for access to a web site where you can get $250.00 worth of other merchandise. Choose from electronic equipment, luggage, cameras, tools, jewelry, cosmetics, vitamins, games, kitchen utencils, watches and clocks, personal accessories and much much more.

Arrange FedEx Delivery - No Charge for package contents.
Express Shipping Center thanks you for using PayPal online payments to get your FedEx packages delivered. Because you are a valued customer, you may forward this offer to up to 20 friends so that they can also get free gifts and experience quality service from PayPal and FedEx.

Sincerely,

Robert J. Robinson - Diamond Security Officer

FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD...if it sounds to good to be true it is. Last time I checked paypal was a money hungry company who definitely does not give away diamonds and digi cameras. Do not contact whoever sent you the e-mail it's a fake. Hope this helps. :D

NOT A SCAM - FREE ADVICE FROM MONKEYBOBO530 - You get what you pay for -

Learn to read! This promotion is not from PayPal, it is from Express Shipping Center. The email says, "Express Shipping Center thanks you for using PayPal online payments to get your FedEx packages delivered."

This is not a scam.

I am familiar with this promotion and I know someone who responded. She was very happy with what she received from Express Shipping Center. She paid $20.00 for FedEx delivery through Express Shipping Center. The package did contain a pendant with a small diamond in it and a nice gift box. It also contained a gift card for a digital camera which she ordered and received at her office yesterday. She also told me that there were 3 other gift cards for other items. One was for an exersise belt and now that she received the digital camera she is going to get that shipped to her office as well.

The email that is posted is not complete and it is missing the link to arrange for delivery through Express Shipping Center.

MonkeyBobo530, your free advice is bad since you obviously are not familiar with this promotion. I hope that you are not a lawyer because if you are, you need to learn how to read and understand what is written in the email.

Why would you revive a post that is well over 2 years old? And, why would your email have a date in 2004? :rolleyes:
