Dotsie, It's a money laundering thing. Someone got my stepson's credit card # and charged something via Pay Pal. His wife made some fast phone calls and tracked it to a woman who told them she was working for someone in another country. I think it was Nigeria too. The woman thought she had a part time job and was supposed to send money to Nigeria to this guy. When she told the woman it was credit card fraud and they would prosecute, the woman started talking. The whole scheme was money laundering.

As Chatty said, if someone is offering much more than something is worth, it's a red flag.
