Michael,
Man, you need to stay up on the common scams.
These are people wanting to buy anything using STOLEN credit cards.
First warning should be when they ask to buy "your product". They don't even
know what they want, just anything you can ship using stolen credit cards.
Best to avoid any business with Nigeria.
