N: B There is no cash on delivery or deducting the needed fee from the check because it’s against the Law of Nigeria in section 1999 under the Economic Financial crime commission in the Federal Republic of Nigeria constitution. The FedEx courier company is a registered company under the Federal Government of Nigeria and they are licensed to deliver any parcel to anywhere in the World.

Both the Dr. and his associate uses the same phone number, so I decided to do a couple of on-line searches and a hit return for Kevin Kapola has a url with Asia in the link via SearchBigDaddy; using keywords: scam kevin kapola

Removing scam and using just "kevin kapola" in SearchBigDaddy as the keywords returned hits with the first url in an Asian language.
