Hi,

Definitely there are a lot of honest peoples in Nigeria. All are definitely not fraud. But all most all the offers we get from the "Nigerians" in ebay are fraud offers. People from many other countries are also cheating others in the name of Nigerians.

Normally the frauds lure the sellers with proposals of much more payment than the listed total values. Sometimes they ask for shipment to unregistered addresses. Often they committ to pay against delivery. Never agree to those and stick to the ebay rules. You won't get cheated. If you have any confussion, you can always put some comment on the community board. There are many co-operative members here. .

All transactions from Nigerians on ebay are fraud. Never complete a transaction with them.

Of course the Nigerian people in general are not frauds but the ones on ebay are and they are stealing from people all over the world. And they have been doing it before ebay or the internet existed.
