Has anyone else received email inquiries from a guy in Nigeria wanting to distribute rods there? Just curious.

Anybody looking to do business with someone in Nigeria needs to check out the State Department's travel warning at [travel.state.gov]

Several scams involving Nigerian "royalty" and "millionaires" have made the news in recent years. I'd send them lots of raspberries if they wanted to do business with me.

I don't know about Nigeria, Lee. But I would be very cautious to sell any Indonesia by credit card. There are a few other counties with high fraud via internet including Romania, Bulgaria, Russia. Not that they solicit, but should they want your custom rods, be careful about the transaction regarding use of stolen credit card numbers or fraud. I did get some solicitation regarding some flies and such from an African country, I think was Nigeria. It probalby sounded legitimate, but I'd want some guarantees first.
