Thanks to Grand Illusions for pointing this out.
The site is CALLED Tanson Air Services http://www.coco-night.com/ and like many of the others.... It takes on a legit appearance.
If you look DEEPER (as I like to do), You will see that this site is indeed a suspect. "Grand Illlusions" pointed me to this site and gave me a "Tracking Number" to view. I checked it out and it "Appeared" to look ok. But then I looked at the WHOIS info (Courtesy of http://whois.easydns.com )

So the lack of Easily verifiable company (etc???? What kind of company name is that for TANSON AIR SERVICES) I checked the address on mapquest http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?co ... code=37323
and found that this shipping company is apparently in the middle of NO WHERE (It appears to be a very RURAL area).
So the whois info has not really been forthcoming in instilling confidence.
That aside, I happen to look at the source of the page (after entering from the US - like it means anything since no matter WHAT country you are from you get results in ENGLISH and still end up at the same next page) And what did I find at the source of the page??? Hmmm. A bit of java script that takes you to the next page depending on WHAT code you enter.

So all you need to do is know how to check the source and you can find your shippment. Not only is this site a
, but the designer/programmer is a LAZY one too.
This site will get added to my database of fraud sites. Please let me know if you find more of these sites. I suspect this will be the next trend (as it can buy the scammers a little more time if you think your item is in transit)
