The package is registered with us for mailing by your colleague, and your colleague explained that
he is from the United States but he is in Nigeria for a three (3) month Surveying Project. for he is working
with a consulting firm in Nigeria West Africa. We are sending you this E-mail because your package is

Only MUMU will fall!

Infact any body that falls for this is worst than mumu. That person is a long-throat!, ole as well.
First thing, are u expecting a package? Did u give fedex. ur email? do u have a track number to any package?,
Fedex, DHL, UPS they dont mail client. They expect u to come to their office cos they know the sender would have notified the receiver.

Hello,

I got this exact email, except it was from Felicia Paul in stead of James Wellington. When I get an email I don't trust, I always google the first sentence and so I got to this forum.
Does anyone know how I would have gotten on the mailinglist of these frauds? Was it something I did online? Because I don't want to get any more of this kind of emails.

Thank you.
