"OK I take it but I would like to come tomorrow but I am busy with work at the moment," the swindle usually begins.

"I'll send a UPS letter carrier to your home to give you your money in cash and collect the item."

They claim that this is a requirement from the delivery provider and promise to leave the additional amount in the envelope so you're not out of pocket.

To lure victims in further, the fraudster will ask for your email address.

It'll include things like a fake tracking number to make it seem authentic.
