Read some of the info at http://fraud.org/tips/internet/fakecheck.htm, which talks about the likely outcome of this situation. (Also read http://419eater.com for information on another cmmon scam, the advance fee fraud.) Unfortunately, many sellers just refuse to do sales to Nigeria anymore because of the risks. It's like when a business won't take checks with a low check number -- it is disappointing if you're the honest buyer who happens to have a low check number, but usually the seller has had to make that decision for a good reason. In general I would not ship to Nigeria, period.
