i am accustomed to getting e-mail from nigerian royalty asking me to particiate in money laundering schemes...but this one really caught my attention...i am tempted to get a po box and go ahead and send 50 cds of my music to this lady...but it seems to be an obvious scam...and it's apparently from a soundclick listener...here is the e-mail i recieved...

"Hi,

i will
like to buy 50pcs of your Cd's and you will be shipping them
internationaly. i will be sending you a cashier check for the
Cd's.Do get

Looking forth to your response
Regards Vivian Diana"

1. here is my reply and her answer

Hi Vivian,
I'm shocked that you would want to buy my cd's. I will gladly
ship you some cd's...I will need to have your address and shipping
information.
I am curious...are you American? Or are you from another
country? I'm very flattered that you like my music.
well keep in touch and e-mail me with more information about
yourself...are you a wholesaler? an agent? or just a private citizen who enjoys spreading around amateur music? well anyways let me know your shipping address and i will send you some cd's as soon as possible...

your friend

2. I work for an airfreight company...

We have a standing order to warn our customers of the vast number of scams originating from Nigeria these days. It has been huge.

I can't know if this is one of them but - it is the problem country right now for international mail and freight scams (has been other countries at other times).
