i am accustomed to getting e-mail from nigerian royalty asking me to particiate in money laundering schemes...but this one really caught my attention...i am tempted to get a po box and go ahead and send 50 cds of my music to this lady...but it seems to be an obvious scam...and it's apparently from a soundclick listener...here is the e-mail i recieved...
"Hi, I'm vivian.i listened to your songs and they really sound great i will like to buy 50pcs of your Cd's and you will be shipping them internationaly. i will be sending you a cashier check for the Cd's.Do get back at me and keep the Good job going.

1. here is my reply and her answer |

Hi Vivian, I'm shocked that you would want to buy my cd's. I will gladly ship you some cd's...I will need to have your address and shipping information. I am curious...are you American? Or are you from another country? I'm very flattered that you like my music. well keep in touch and e-mail me with more information about yourself...are you a wholesaler? an agent? or just a private citizen who enjoys spreading around amateur music? well anyways let me know your shipping address and i will send you some cd's as soon as possible... your friend

We have a standing order to warn our customers of the vast number of scams originating from Nigeria these days. It has been huge.
I can't know if this is one of them but - it is the problem country right now for international mail and freight scams (has been other countries at other times).
