    I work at a gallery in Philadelphia. We had a "client" calling from
    Nigeria wanting a painting. We called DHL to find out about shipping
    there and they told us that they have lots of problem in Nigeria
    because of scams. They will only deliver there if they get cash up
    front and only to certain locations (cities?). They advised not to
    accept any credit cards and to only accept checks and to make sure
    they cleared before sending anything there! Apparently there are a
    lot of credit card scams originating from Nigeria. Of course our
    client disappeared, I wouldn't deal with any one saying they are
    calling from Nigeria. It is unfortunate for those in legitimate
    business there!
