I work in a place that sells chainsaws and we constantly have dudes from Central America and West Africa coming in to buy saws that they say they're FedExing to their cousin back home or something (hexbear.net)

Well, that requires having family in the appropriate part of Asia, which will only be true some of the time. At least, I'm pretty sure the people in OP's story didn't travel to America just to buy a chainsaw.
