Why am I receiving offers from Nigeria to buy my glider?

Whilst there may be a market for second hand gliders and equipment in Nigeria it is, sadly, more likely that you are being targetted for a "scam". The exact nature of the plot varies but can sometimes involve any of the following: Offering to pay via Western Union or other money transfer scheme; offering to pay with a large cheque from another party and you refund the difference; arranging collection of your glider/item for sale by courier. It is not just Nigeria where these scams originate - they may appear to come from citizens of other countries (although usually Africa or the Far East).

If you receive contact via email that looks like such a scam then do not reply. If the email has originated via gliderpilot.net then contact gliderpilot.net with the details.
