I got an e-mail from USPS Nigeria a couple of days ago. It said that they had a package waiting to be delivered to me and all they needed was my full name , address , and phone number. I didn't respond because I don't know why I would be getting a package from Nigeria and also why would they need me to tell them my name ? If I have a package , they should already know my name.
