It's the same scam I was lined for over a year ago, a confidence scam. They very often insert God bless, several times so as to give you an impression that they are followers and believers of God, and being such, could not be fraudulent, therefore honest and true with their pitch! Americans suck it up!

The Nigerian then says (a few days later) that he needs to cancel half the order, and could my guy just send a cashiers check back for the difference with the rest of the order -- he agrees. When the subject of freight came up, the idiot actually provided his own FedEx account number (big mistake). Of course, the original casheirs check was a fraud, and my guy responded by sending him over a ton of landscape debris and cow manure via his own FedEx account. It must have cost him thousands$$$. Right up the old yin-yang!
Oh that was so cool....................
