He CLAIMS that his name is "MR.GARRICK OXFORD" but he puts in quotation marks. Not that it matters because it is NOT his REAL name and if YOU get an e-mail like this, it may have ANY name on it.

IT IS A NIGERIAN SCAM. A CLASSIC NIGERIAN SCAM!
IT IS A VARIATION ON THE NIGERIAN CLASSIC SCAM OF "YOU HAVE A PACKAGE WITH MONEY IN IT FOR YOU" ONLY YOU DON'T.

THERE MIGHT BE A PACKAGE BUT IT DOES NOT HAVE MONEY IN IT.

The only way to respond to these people is by e-mail and by phone number which is overseas ( probably a disposable cell phone). They are claiming to be FedEx but they are NOT.

THEY ARE NOT IN ANY WAY AFFILIATED WITH FEDEX OR ANY OTHER DELIVERY COMPANY THEY MAY CLAIM TO BE IN THIS SCAM.

HERE IS THE FAKE E-MAIL THEY SENT me:

--
CONFIRM OWNERSHIP(PARCEL)
