this sounds very much like a scam discussed on r.b.m involving steward windsor of ground zero. A google search in r.b.m. newsgroup on "nigeria,scam" should find the thread.

I have a few items posted for sale and I've received three or four emails from interested buyers in West Africa.

I believe that this is a scam. Is anyone else with items for sale receiving such emails?

The interested buyer claims that they have a US business contact that owes them money and that this contact will forward money to you etc.

It's a lot like the scam that 60 Minutes featured a year or two ago, all originating from West Africa/Nigeria.

Let me know, Russ russell.howe@ps.ge.com
