It’s a scam!!! Now they think you are stupid enough to send the rest of the *fake* money back. You’ve probably already lost what you sent to shipper...and your item if you sent it. Head down to your bank with all the information first thing Monday. (Though I doubt you are going to see anything back.)

Don't be surprised when the bank wants all the money back because the cashier's check is a fake.

People really fall for this scam? I need to move to Nigeria.

Are you in Davenport? Here's an article from todays Sentinel dealing with the very issue. Those Nigerians are really trying to work us over here in surf city.
