Interesting... those addresses appear to be real. The names most definitely do not appear to be made up (most names on 419 mails are obviously fictitious to any native observer.... Dr. john usman danjuma? please.)
I'd never attempt to buy anything online, least of all on ebay, mostly cos I'm sure the reputation built up on the 'net by these scammers will make anyone with half a brain throw my request in the bin as soon as he sees 'Lagos, Nigeria'. Such a pity, really. I've been thinking of getting myself a mastercard, but since I heard that amazon.com does not honour Nigerian billing addresses, I wondered, what's the point?
The irony of it all is this: Most goods acquired through credit card fraud and 'yahoo yahoo-ing' are sold dirt cheap, over here- much cheaper than if they had been purchased legitimately. *shrug* that's what life is like, ne?
