I hate these jerks. They tried to get me TWICE in one week and both times I didn't fall for it.
The first time I was auctioning a laptop starting at 900 bucks and they tried to buy it outside of eBay for $1600, and sent me a phoney paypal payment email. Fortunately I have enough brains to check my paypal account and see that it was fake.
Then, they bid on another laptop I was auctioning worth only about 400 bucks, and they drove up the winning auction bid to $3000 dollars, which is WAY more than what its worth (another obvious scam). I tried to do a 2nd chance offer message to the _real_ winning bidder (about $402 dollars) but shortly afterward my auctions vanished! Both the original, and the 2nd-chance page were gone. Selling charges were removed, but this is already a serious annoyance.
If we can refuse to do business with Cuba, why not Nigeria too? The country is full of crooked bastards. Nothing we can do about it other than cut them off.
