I heard this story before. I happened to someone from V3C. Someone from africa wanted to buy his car (360) for a lot of money. They had to exchange banking details to make the payment. The idea was he was trying to get money from his bank account by internet. I don't remember exactly, but don't trust it anyway!

Nigeria leads the world in financial scams. Most of them are a lot more sophisticated than this one too! A lot of those attempts to con eBay traders actually worked in the early days. I guess it's a numbers game. Contact 10000 buyers and they might still get a couple of suckers.
There's plenty of very sound Nigerians about too. I knew quite a few in London, including my boss
