Phooey, I do not believe this is FedEx

Folks,

I keep posting these phoney mailings so that none of us ever gets phished and consequently scammed.

Here's the latest email I received. All I can tell you is that if FedEx had a package for me, I'm sure they'd know where to deliver it. I don't think they would take it upon themselves to learn the delivery address. So if someone wants to get a package out to you, they need to know your delivery address. I think FedEx requires this information before they accept packages for delivery. Also, I believe FedEx emails are stated as fedex.com not live.com or courier.com. Honestly, the devlish side of me impels me to give them the address to my neighborhood police precinct. Below is a copy of the email I received. What are your thoughts?
