    Checks out to the US but he could be using a proxy which hides his true IP or if it's a web based email service such as hotmail, yahoo or gmail etc then may well reflect the IP of the mail provider rather than his own PC.


    I'd still stay well clear.

    btw T.J. - that IP 209.85.213.45 traces back to a Google mail server in Mountain view CA - the mail user could be from anywhere in the world.

    Let me guess you are shipping back the millions of dollars that the wife of some prince sent to you in total confidence?

    I just cannot help it.

    But as for taking the risk, forget this idea. Nigeria is full of diffent scams and one is getting hold of your account of any kind to find a way to use it. Just don't agree to this deal especially its around $100. In the long run this could cost you far more.
