Not a good idea b/c these scammers are using stolen cards or card numbers. If that was my stolen card, you have just made it that much harder for me to recover my losses! :x

Just ignore them!

Everybody says scam. I read it and thought scam. I just can't figure out how. He really doesn't want the items. he wants money. But he's going to give you HIS credit card #. When does he get money?

He's gonna pay you to pay his shipping company to ship him the items. He is his shipping company, he pays you with stolen card, you pay shipping (him), you now owe the bank money!!!!

Ahhhhh! Thanks.

Everyone in the world seems to recognize one of these as a scam because of the wording and the use of Africa and Nigera. Bells go off as soon as you read one. I'm surprised the scammers haven't changed. I guess there are enough fish in the sea.
