It's quite common for the scammers to involve a delivery service such as FedEx, or DHL into their scam. Usually the "Bank" is telling you to pay a fee to the company to have your check delivered, or something along that line.
Sometimes however, you may be contacted directly by the delivery company fraudsters claiming to be FedEx, and requesting the fee's be paid to them.
Obviously, delivery company's don't do business this way.
