United Parcel Service of Nigeria :lol:

It's strange they don't at least ask for your SSN or something like that. Just your address and name? Look it up in the phone book. Geez, even con-artists are lazy these days.

Deep3CL I hope you are kidding. I get like ten of those scam emails a day. Someone must be doing it, why else would these cats still bother spamming if they aren't getting some takers. I think Star24 did it and lost his azz, that's why he goes by Dexmor now, so they can't hit him again.

BTW Deep3CL my dad's bday is coming up I got him the KAJ official "skyhook" TShirt. Peep it on KAJ official website by the same name www.kareemabduljabbar.com. They are outta Strong Beach so it's a quick turnaround. Cost about 30 after shipping and tax, but it's KAJ, so it's cool. Black or Purple.

Hey Deep send me your credit card info and personal info so I can buy a boatload of land from Eric Estrada I'll split the land with you. http://www.suckafool.com.

That's a joke, but I'm serious about the KAJ shirt. I hope my pops digs it.

I just checked up the united parcels services ltd nigeria this is what i got

United Parcel Service Nigeria LTD
Plot 16, Oworonski Expressway
Gbagada Industrial Estate
Lagos
Nigeria
Tel.: 234-1-2705577
Tel.: 234-1-2704989
Fax: 234-1-2704987
E-mail ng.customerservice@europe.ups.com
the addresses and phone no. don't match

also i looked up this email domain ups-customerservice2@8u8.com
it's located in china and for some reason when i googled 8u8.com i got all kinds of scam results
like this one:
There are many companies that provide free email services and most people use them for legitimate purposes. However, because there is no charge and hence no need for a verifiable billing address, bank account or credit card, these accounts are fairly anonymous. That and easy access from ubiquitous internet cafes means such accounts are often abused by criminals who send variants of the "419" scam. Most of these emails are sent from Nigeria, Cote d'Ivoire, South Africa and various cities in Europe with West African residents as well as various places in Asia. By reporting the scam accounts to the webmail providers you can usually get them closed.
