Legal Question in Consumer Law in Nigeria
Purchasing a cell phone for a third party and shipping it overseas
I have a craft business on the internet. A woman from Nigeria (with a legitimate address(I checked) in Lagos, Nigeria said she wanted to place an order for 35 items that I make. She then asked me if I would do her a favor and purchase a cell phone for her and include it in the shipment of items. She gave me a few cell phone options to get prices for. She said she would give me $285 for just the phone and I would get whatever is left after the phone cost plus the payment for the items I made to be paid by MC or Visa. I asked her why she wanted me to get the phone and she said they werent available in Nigeria. Is it legal to ship a cell phone overseas? To Nigeria?
