It's a Scam!! They're also scamming funeral homes too.
(New Wrinkle in Nigerian Funeral Home Scam

NFDA has learned that the scope of the scam has been expanded to include caskets and vaults. A Maine funeral home received a request from Nigeria to purchase a casket and vault in the amount of $7,000 with instructions to deliver the merchandise to a shipping company which would forward it to Nigeria.

NFDA members are strongly advised not to ship any merchandise in response to an order received from Nigeria, from overseas, or via a hearing impaired operator. Members should also be advised that simply because a credit card number goes through, does not mean that it has not been stolen. If a member processes a transaction through a stolen credit card, they will later receive a charge-back from the credit card processor when the theft is discovered. )

What they're doing with caskets and tikis is any ones guess.
