What the hell is up with Nigerian Scams!?!?!?

[??????]

I mean why Nigeria?!? What is it about nigeria that makes it a rip off haven.


Im trying to sell a laptop on Ebay and im getting people claiming to be from nigeria trying to rip me off with fraudulent schemes and shit...


Do they not have any kind of laws or regulations over there? Im curious as to why most scams come from there.

The sad thing is most of those people work in the government and it is the second or third source of income for the country.

I was just about to post that same video

Remember it's a scam

Can you be sure the person on the other end is who they say they are or from the COUNTRY they claim to be from?

Think about it....

this guy i know got Got by them. They sent him a fake paypal email and he thought he was paid... He thought he got him self some "African Suckers" because they over paid for the laptop. He shipped it out with out checking his Paypal account.

He winded up lookin like the Sucker.

This lady was cryin on Dr. Phil cuz she got got by the Nigerians posing as a white dude. That's what she gets for "lovin people online".

That is pretty tricky, sending a fake paypay email. I will admit, I could fall for the overpayment thing and fake email if I didn't know about it. I wouldn't be a sucker for trying to get money out of the country or cleaning dollar bills thing. Ebay should block the entire IP address of Nigeria.

I watched some doctor get scamed over the cleaning money thing. They even had a sucker fly to the country and get killed.

THATS EXACTLY MY SCENARIO!!!!!LOL

greed can blind people....the fool tried to overpay the laptop for 300 bucks and i know to think with logic instead of greed.

in this world, no one is trying to hook you up, especially a stranger.

unless the money is in my hand, im not shipping shit!!!

 

[Blunt]

LOL. These scams have nothing to do with the real Nigeria. It's just a convenient country for hustlers to use. (It's far away and hard to confirm info in.) In the old days they used obscure South American and/or Nordic countries (same as with "urban legends").

but that my questions, what makes it a convienient country to use? do they not have authorities over there to track down these frauds?

if i were foolish enough to send my laptop over there is there anything that couldve been done?

Man this cat is one of the funniest actors in nigeria. His movies be having me rolling.

And by the way, the govt. officials only induldge in bribes and other corrupt practices. Trust, if you wit the govt. then you wit the in crowd-You gon EAT.

The internet scams are done by the unemployed, broke, or low level criminals.

And how can scams be a minor source of income for a country . I think you mean for SOME individuals .


But thanks for the clip

you just would've been a fool the same way anyone would be for buying a "vcr" (yeah I took it back) from off the corner without looking in the box first and finding bricks later...I don't know anything about nigeria, but i'm smart enough to know that other countries don't operate like the states where everybody sues everybody; they don't have authorities regulating this sort of thing cuz the authorities are scamming too

As I stated earlier, they only use "Nigeria" as a front (because it "sells" and no one's knows anything about the country). They're not actually from there. More likely operating out of Seacaucus, New Jersey. lol.

according to those documentaries from you tube, they are operating from nigeria...well not all of them, but they are. the person who tried to scam me had a nigerian address

could you honestly say that if they scammed you or one your family members?

a crook is a crook..i say fuck em.

by that logic, dope dealers are saviors too then right?

black folks we need to stop co-signing on all this low life shit.

nigerians are pretty smart, i went to school with some of them..

if theyre smart enough to run these elaborate scams on the computer, theyre smart enough to start making software/web sites and building companies, like the indians who are just as fucked up....now that would be something i would co-sign on.

 

[SOLOW]

Yeah fuck them Nigerian scamming bastards I have to deal with 3-4 of them per week the shit is ridiculous

 

[Bluekid]

Them Fuckin Africans i swear............

[Ogsta]

419 is a hustle still. Its better than selling drugs to your own! Alie?

The main people that loose are the big corporations, like banks and insurance companies, who set up business through raping Naija for its people, oil and bare other natural resources. So I back the heads doing it internationnaly.

However doing it internally is another thing. Its fucked up Nigeria's economy.

 

[divine]

i don't condone the shit, but cmon fam, if you fall for these dumb ass scams your elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor. dumb ass. they kinda make a good point, greedy bastids fall for this shit.
