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.

The packager could be a bag of shit so i doubt anyone is going to give you 80
bucks to retrieve a bag of shit.

I see that nigerian stuff all the time.

What I find interesting over the past couple of weeks is a persistent
campaign where the spam claims to be either an American Airlines ticket
link or reciept link, or a DHL tracking link.

The link is to a .zip file that unzips to a single .exe file that is
only ID'd by a small fraction (5 to 12) out of 46 AV programs at
VirusTotal. The sample is ID'd as either specifically as Dofoil or
Kuluoz but more generally as "generic" or "suspicious".

I've seen campaigns like this in the past, but I don't recall them
lasting for this many days.
