   [OT] More interesting Nigerian sparm

   I love this stuff. This one purports to come from the "Fedex Courier   
   Serivce," and advises me that a package is waiting for me in Memphis,   
   and that it contains a cheque for 4.5 million dollahs and I only have to   
   send 80 dollahs so some guy in Nigeria to have it cleared.   
      
   This is all standard Nigerian garbage, except that they provide a   
   tracking number for Fedex, and if you plug the number into the   
   (legitimate) Fedex tracking site, it seems to track a real package that   
   was shipped from Lagos through the UK to Tennessee at the beginning of   
   January.   
      
   It _must_ be real -- Fedex have my package. Can anyone lend me eighty   
   bucks? Come on, spare a dime for an old magha ...   
      
   Tracking number is 800277347645 if you're interested.
