Hello friends,
I got an email from a Nigerian. It seems he wants to buy my Clickbank product. Is there any way a Nigerian can buy a Clickbank product?

Thanks,

    You could accept a paypal payment from him (or is paypal banned in nigeria) and then send him the product manually!

    PayPal seems to be withdrawn from most african countries, they don't offer it, but if he has a visa, mastercard or american express he can buy from you through clickbank. Personally I tend to steer clear of orders from that part of the world due to the fraud risk, but if he is a genuine potential customer with a credit card, he can buy your item with it through ClickBank.

    Indeed, like others have said, Nigeria has a very high fraud rate. However, that doesn't mean all Nigerians are bad - quite the contrary!

    If this person can't pay you money, consider asking that he pay you in services (articles or whatever).

    I have at least 2 or 3 Nigerian purchased with fraud payment through paypal... if I get request from Nigeria, I would ignore it... until they improved the fraud rate, I don't bother to do business with them.

    You could always have them send the money Western Union, or whatever, like they always want you to do when they need to transfer 100 Billion of an exiled prince's money out of the country.

      Please he's asking for an idea, and as was said before, not all nigerians are bad, though the bad ones don't get punished enough.
      I don't think western union can be sent out but google checkout is possible with a master or visa card or best still, let him pay in services as was said before too..

        Who said I wasn't being serious? They do have Western Union or a similar service there. Yes, I did tack on a bit of humor at the end of it, but don't tell me they don't have any type of money transfer places like Western Union.

        I watched a whole expose on the Nigerian scams where they actually sent people small amounts of money to gain their trust so they could then perpetuate the bigger "Nigerian scam" through a money transfer service like Western Union.

        Also, the reporters wired them small amounts of money so they could lure them to a meeting place where they were supposedly going to give the Nigerians the rest of the money. When in fact, they were really there to shame them for what they were doing.

        Here's all the Western Unions located in Nigeria:

      All jokes aside, Western Union or MoneyGram is the only practical way to deal with stuff like this.

      I wish there was another way, but banks and such have deemed any credit card or bank transactions with countries like this to be way too risky. It's not without cause, but it's still sad how bad apples ruin it for everyone else.

    Most Nigerians can use AlertPay.com

    I've accepted payments for some of my products/services with AlertPay.com with no problems. It works in a very similar way to PayPal.

      I completely agree.

      I have paid a designer in Nigeria for very good design services rendered and I was able to pay via PayPal - the last transaction was about a year ago.

      I don't know the detail of this particular issue or if PayPal have now withdrawn their services to/in Nigeria, but I am surprised if PayPal do still offer services there, that ClickBank are not operating there too.

      I would respectfully suggest making some telephone calls to PayPal et al to get definitive answers.

      Regards,
      Jeff.

    I am nigerian and not all nigerians are bad.

    Most Nigerian IM guys are very straight.

    Ask hin to contact VTN for a visa graphcard that is clickbank compatible.

    Nigerian credit card are not clickbank compatible. Even when you have a graphcard visa card, clickbank does IP tracking so knows if its a Nigerian ISP.

    WU and Moneygram only receive. There is however liberty reserve which Nigerians are fleeing to in droves

    A Nigerian minister came to Singapore during the APEC meeting and he is trying to get people to invest in Nigeria.

    He tried his best to portray Nigeria as a country that is worth investing in and they are trying to curb the increasing rate of cybercrime and such.

    So, let's give them a chance in the future to do business with us online ok?

    Not all Nigerians are rogue, Being that as it may...

    VTN for Graphcard is Ok.
    Dorm account bank transfer is also Okay
    He can also pay for a virtual card thru LR or Egold
    Alertpay is also an Option
    Paypal can also be used but it will take more stress..

    Any of the above methods should work

    Hello,

    Let us be honest to ourselves. I am a Nigerian an abhor fraud as nature abhor vacuum.

    My recent study on corruption reveals the the western or developed world are more fraudulent but the issue is that ours are more pronounced by our journalists.

    There was an armed robbery attack in one of the banks in Hong Kong and the following day i expected it to carried by the dailies but it wasn't there, then i asked why? They said that robbery is not a news rather getting culprits makes the news.

    This is unlike Nigeria where robbery is the news while getting the culprit is not. The fact is that we have to be fair to each other.

    So, all the payment processing companies should beef up their security and let us by from any merchant.

    I am proud to say it is only few Nigerians are fraudulent judging by our population.

    I have many customers who sell through clickbank. It has been very hard for me as a Nigerian to buy from them even though I have a visa card issued from Graphcard.com which is duly registered in the US. As soon as clickbank notices that the IP originates from Nigeria, it will decline payment.

    I once wrote to one famous affiliate marketer on the issue, trying to explain to him that I am genuine and to confirm the payment before allowing me to download the product. The response I got was that he cannot allow that because it was a security issue which had been preset in the system.

    I really would like to know which sites that accept US issued visa cards which are passed through Nigerian IP address. The none acceptance of Nigerian IP address is fraustrating my online business. I really need help on the matter.

    All tarred with the same brush comes to mind! I do however remeber a documentary about customs at Lagos airport having a gun fight with some guys at the airport!
    Also when I ran a transport business I sent a package to Nigeria and the guy that turned up to deliver the package said to the consignee if you don't give me 50 dollars you can't have your package.
    So, when we can all sell and buy in 220 countries worldwide i'm afraid Ogbu its no great surprise.
    Good luck and let us know how you go on, your hurdles are a little bit higher than ours but i'm sure you will cross them...

    They should name it the "Refund Scam" or have they already?

      Point of correction. More scams are been committed in US and by US than Nigerians. I have been online for over 12 years now and have been American scam others too.

      Nigerians are not that bad, just that they have hated by the westerners because of fear of control.

      Ask Master Card, Google, VISA International and so on how much they make in Nigeria ever since they came in.

      Let this impression be corrected.

      Thank you friends.

        Have tried to purchase some product especially that of Ewen Chia but I couldn't due to the fact that my country is not listed on clickbank. Truly not all Nigerians are scammer/fraudster. That's the reason why most internet marketers over here are trying to learn more in other to help/show youth over here "how to do legit business online"...which I believe it as help curb up this frauding thing. Clickbank is not fair!

          Why do you think Clickbank and Paypal treat some countries as unwanted to do business in? If you want somebody to blame, blame majority of your own countrymen who ruin things for you. Not businesses who simply see that 99 out of 100 (or more) purchases coming from your country are fraudulent.

          Some countries take major steps to correct how they are perceived, India comes to mind as they recently did huge overhaul of their banking system to get PayPal to approve Indian accounts, and others, like Nigeria, seem to be doing nothing.

          On Facebook I get random PM's few times a week asking me for money to help sick person. I have no idea how or why i ended up on some kind of list, but its ALWAYS Nigerian asking. Or pretty American girl, using stock photo. If i play along for a bit, it always ends up going to request to wire money to fairly obviously non-American, non-English person. Its ridiculous.

          And I tend to IP block Nigeria along with several other countries, maybe half a dozen, on my profitable blogs as virtually 100% of spam comes from few countries.After IP blocking them, problems stop.

          So you cant blame us for not wanting to do business with Nigeria until Nigerians fix their own country and people into something we will want to do business with.

    So much said about Nigerians.U guys are missing something that I will attempt to clear.
    But first let me answer the main question.
    You can shop from click bank as a Nigerian using the following ways.
    1.Use PayPal.Nigerians can now open a PayPal account free and shop from anywhere in the world which includes click bank.

    2.There are organizations in Nigeria that provide such services for a fee such as GTN,Circuit Atlantic, Shop America and I also provide such service too.

    3.U can also ask someone u know in any of the countries listed on clickbank to help u buy.

    You have a variety to choose from.

    Nigeria is made up people with individual interests just like anyone in any part of the world.
    Just as there are good guys in Nigeria there are also bad guys and that is how it is in every part of the world.
    I have read in this forum severally how merchants get ripped off by refunds and they end up making money on the products they have spent plenty of time and energy for.
    The idea is simple. Get a refund and have the product free.This is common today and I proudly say that it not Nigerians that do this.

    So much of credit card theft today cannot be traceable to Nigerians.

    Hackers too.

    It is in individualities and not the nation as it were. Nigerians have been painted black by few individuals but I will say here and can defend it the majority of Nigerians are good and progressive people compared to individuals in other parts of the world which includes America.

    Infact America has a greater online crime rate than Nigeria which I am ready to prove any day.

    The bottom line is this.It is not in the nation but individuals in the picture which is you and I.

    No offense intended please.

        No, the bottom line is this --- this is a thread from 2009 bumped for no reason except someone looking for a thread to rant in.

        There is no reason to "prove" anything. If the level of fraud in a country is such that Paypal won't take a chance on transactions from that country...neither will I.

      Of course they aren't - but the problem when this thread was started is the same now as it was then. There is a high incidence of financial fraud in Nigeria. Paypal does business in every country where profit is possible - and that should tell you something.

      If you want to accept a check or other form of payment for your product from someone who can't use online payment methods - that's your choice. In my experience, that seldom ends well for the seller.

    Kay's point is right... As a merchant why would I sell to someone from Nigeria when there's a (20%? 70%?) chance they'll charge it back and/or it not be a legitimate order, when 99%+ of my USA/UK/Canada etc orders are honest and work fine. Time's too valuable to take chances on high-risk customer countries w/high fraud/piracy rates. Certainly that's not helpful for the honest people in those countries, but it's all about the numbers, and time + fraud/risk management.
