Anyone actually done business in Nigeria? Seriously....
I have been corresponding with a guy named Abbachrist (sounds like the sweedish messiah to me) who is based in Lagos. Of course with all the Nigerian Bank scams, etc. going on I'm taking things at a very slow pace with this guy so as not to get mixed up with the wrong element. Anyone have any stories about doing business in Nigeria? Advice you'd like to share? I'm all ears.

2. You're being played like a fish.
Spit out the hook and swim away.

3. Scam Scam Scam
Was it a lottery? Oil profits? The estate of a recently deceased Brigadier General? Scam Scam Scam

4. Thanks for your concern, folks.
I have received many, many Nigerian bank scam emails and I'm familiar with the MO. This does not follow the trend. We do a lot of international business and the guy I have been corresponding with has an application for our product I am very familiar with. He is asking for samples and nothing more. This is a very common practice. I have not even so much as DHL'd him a package. Again, thanks for the input.
