APO/FPO's aren't always military only...I got scammed via one in okinawa. Talked to the CO of the base and it was not a military person so they could do nothing.

I have mail filters that send anything with nigeria or africa to my junkmail folder. It probably removes 20 of them a day and my email is fairly non-listed and not a dictionary word. I used to report them to the email provider as well as their ISP, but think they don't care anymore. So if it's persistent enough I will block entire domain names ie like aol.com and cox.net

This guy sent me 15 in one day:

And I have not shipped anything yet...I am asking because this is the first time that this kind of offer is made to me.

That letter that was posted is 'obviously' a scam.

I mean does it mean that everyone from nigeria is a crook? I would not think so...that 'everyone' is.

Good idea of shipping to where this person is and they can ship it to nigeria themselves.

Fact: only an idiot ships items sold on CL. CL is for local deals ONLY.
