As a rule I would avoid doing business over the internet with all Nigerians, but I have found an interesting guide from a seemingly legitimate Nigerian businessman.
If your like me and would rather not take the risk of dealing with them, there is still a lot of general fraud information to get out of the article.
When dealing with people in any country, consider…
1. Is the country a known producer/exporter of the product, it’s pretty safe to assume Nigeria is not the iPod export capital of the world.
2. Research with official sources of information. Look on Government sites, banks etc, especially for discrepancies in their story.
3. Never send any money via Western Union. Ever! I would also add to not conduct transactions in eGold, for the same reason as chargebacks are difficult/impossible.
