Maybe the number belongs to a teddy bear that a romance scammer sent to one of his victims.

Yes I thought something like that but was surprised at how convenient the recent date was. I guess if they're scamming all the time that's going to happen.

At one point a lad suggested that since i can't use a bank or the usual routes (WU/MG) to send money i should send him a present and hide the money inside it. Suggested present was supposed to be a teddybear.

It could well be that he knows someone who works for a legit business that ships things overseas. In exchange for a cut of whatever the lad makes from the scam, this friend could be slipping him a few tracking numbers every day.

Or he could have just typed in 10 random numbers and got lucky, finding one departing from Benin.

If you are determined enough, it's not that hard to get a valid parcel tracking number.
It's probably much, much harder to find a mark in the rough area that parcel is going to...

Also I never understand why Lads use this ATM card routine. What's the point of sending someone an ATM card with millions credited on it but have a $10,000 daily limit? That would take about a year and a quarter of withdrawing 10k every day to get the full amount off it...

Good point Basinga. I might bring that up to some of mine.
But then I don't know why they do a lot of this and think it'll be believable. Jose Manuel barroso sending me emails. Penniless wives with dead millionaire husbands. Army colonels trapped in the desert.
But some people do fall victim and so it continues...
