Nigeria the new Indonesia

I posted about this earlier and accidently deleted it.

Nigera has become the new "hot spot" for large orders using horrible english (sometimes not even mentioning the product). They are more than happy to give you a credit card.

Look at the email address usually it has some kind of "store" name in the email, usually a hotmail account.

Thanks for the heads up Les. This is a real problem that needs to be kept current. It has to be disheartening to even be emailed by these scam artists.

Hi Hammer,

I heard about several groups from Lagos Nigeria who were running other scams. However, about a week ago I received my first email from Nigeria. I have received 4 since.

Do not even accept bank drafts or money orders from Nigeria. Some of these people have very sophisticated graphics capability. If you put one of these counterfit checks or MO into your bank and they bounce. They bank is not responsible....even though they accepted it.
