Topic: Are most scammers from Nigeria? - page 2. (Read 784 times)
Someone cannot accuse someone of what him does not know about many accusation comes with the evidence you cannot stand up and say that many United States of America people are scammers without evidence so any story or statement that does not have backup or evidence is void and the nobody will take it as a meaningful story frome my understanding and theory of the person, Nigerians are hustlers and they are not into scam as other people may think, when you check round you will notice that their no country that doesn't have scam people
Edited out.
So, I have heard many scammers are from Nigeria.
I am not trying to justify anything or anyone but when look deep in to insight, if Nigeria has the most scammer then the first thing to be looked at is the economy. Nigeria as a country has silently pasted “ your survival is your business” as their motto, no one really cares not even the government.
If you are not rich you cannot start a new business, if you don’t have the best connection you cannot get a good job in a big company. If you are not rich you cannot go the a good average school, if you are not rich you cannot study the course of you choice.. you most go for the best affordable course, if you are not rich you cannot dress properly, if you are not rich you cannot eat properly even chicken is no longer a regular man food cause it is expensive, if you are not rich you cannot think of owning a car or even renting one plus public bus is a topic for another day.
The reality of Nigeria is only the rich can survive.
In a country like this how and why won’t there be scammers even the government are frauds too they are only focused of getting all the money they can to preserve it for their generations. The hardship here is different.
There are no jobs, getting a loan is almost impossible if you don’t have a reliable source of income or any property to mortgage, many are dropout, many are graduates with out job, many did not even smell the coners of school, many cannot afford medical bills , many are starving and everybody wants to survive. So i wouldn’t say they are looking for quick money instead I would say they are all trying to survive.

I can see that you are also a Nigerian and stated the truth about us, only the strong can survive in our country. We come from a country where the government does not care about the way we survive, there's not good job in the country without a connection. Nigeria is a country in which citizens continue to struggle even after they have graduated from school. I believe that there's many countries out there that give job work for their citizens, but we do not have such opportunities in Nigeria, you must know someone before getting a job, even in a little company.
Nigeria isn't the only country where citizens are scammer, but Nigeria is so known some people because of their citizens that are scamming people. I don't think it is right for us to believe that the only way to survive in Nigeria is to scam innocent people, they have no idea know how much it will hurt them or how difficult it is for them to make a living. Any hardworking Nigerian will have a job that can support him, and I believe there are many more ways to make money than scamming people.
You stated it right. It looks like the Government over there fucked up it's citizens and therefore there are high unemployment rates. If I am right, Nigeria is the highest populated country in Africa. If you add that to the fact that Government does not care about its Citizens, what you get is youth who have given up on looking for employment and instead resorting to scamming and stealing.
We can see similar cases in countries like India and I think Bangladesh.

For me, I will say Nigeria because the high rate of corruption is too much as it has makes most of our youths to become scammers and thieves because of lack of employment, poor governance and lack of good education etc, although I don't know much about India and Bangladesh but Nigeria is the most scammers and it's really affecting most people in Nigeria also in others countries and our leaders are not doing anything about it but by recognising the root causes of the problems in the society or individual can help in changing the mindset of most individuals by creating or addressing the problems by supporting and empowering them in their pursuit for a better life
Are most scammers from Nigeria?
CIA, FBI, Biden & US gov, fiat banking system, NATO, UN, etc.
Thanks for your unbiased view to scams, it's not exclusive to Nigeria, or any other countries in the world, criminality is a global menace, I think that cybercrimes will even be more in developed countries, because they own these technologies, unlike third world countries that are trying to catch up. CIA, FBI, Biden & US gov, fiat banking system, NATO, UN, etc.
It'll surprise the OP to know that CEOs, top government officials, politicians, the wealthy are the most corrupt, they'll involve in shady deals, high level scams to remain super rich. He that is down fears no fall, but the wealthy will do anything to remain very rich, because they have phobia for poverty, therefore they'll do whatever it takes to be rich, whether legit or scam.

Op this is the notion that most countries have about Nigerians , and when you look at critical there is no country in the world that you will not have one Nigerian in that country , Nigeria is quite a blessed country with so many mineral resources and natural vegetations but the wicked leaders do not really want the country to grow beyond her current stage .no doubt nigeria has so many scammers but this idea of fraud was instituted as a result of bad governance, lack of unemployment by graduate youths and most youths took it upon themselves to earn a living .

Because if the Nigeria economy is good and the government has the interest of her citizens at heart I don’t really think that someone will think about internet fraud or any form of scam .but Nigeria government don’t care instead they steal from the budget that are meant to cater for the citizens especially the youths .
The bad government should not be an excuse for us to join into crime. Crime does not have any justification so we ought to the right thing and save our names from been tarnished especially when we are from a very reputable family or regions.
Scammers are everywhere and trying to say they are all from Nigeria could be a wrong saying. I know it s looks like the country has so many scammers that are duping people from all around the globe. I don't mostly base on word on sentiments but I most observe well.

It is not much about scammers from all around the world purposely trying to steal money and at the same time trying to tarnish the global image people have on Nigeria. It is mostly about how Nigeria is viewed from a perspective of popular culture, part of that popular culture is the recurrent scam of the Nigerian prince we all know about.
In general, from my own experience and research on internet, organized scams are from both African countries and South Asia, while hacking and spear fishing comes from eastern Europe and Russia.
On the matter of popular culture and the view on Nigeria and others countries like India, there are several YouTube Channels of people from the west who try to fool and distrupt the operations of scammers in several ways, since those videos have millions of views, people learn those scammers have a very thick accent when trying to talk in English and are from India/Africa. It is an unfortunate reality.

Stated that many scammers are from Nigeria I do not really think of that, is just that Nigeria have their own obvious that is why people's always think they put of the 100% the 50% of scammers are from Nigeria.Quote

The Nigerian Prince story is the main reason why this stereotype still exists but people in Nigeria are just the same as everyone else, they are honest, and working hard to meet their needs but scammers can be from anywhere so just pointing out a particular race for this that's common is not justifiable. Although some scammers actually from Nigeria orchestrated some of the biggest scams in the past, so the Russian hackers, so the Koeran and everyone else.
Am not in total support of your theory here that most scammer's are from Nigeria because scam is a global issues not only limited to Nigeria only the truth is most of these world economic super powers that you see we all built on fraud, are you aware that colonisation, slavery and even neocolonialism is also fraud
The truth is Nigeria all over the world are hard working person and because of that they Excel and become prosperous in so people become envious of them and brand them as scammers because of one or two people who are into scam,

I don't think it is written any part of the world that scammers must be found in a particular country and Nigeria shouldn't be the first country to be mentioned. The thing is that Nigerians who engage in such activity are always making it known that this is what they do, outside Africa they do have scammers roaming around but they do it on a low key, just like they are mindful of what they do and they cover their tracks which makes it look as if other countries don't have scammers.
From how these guys operate, it gives other Nigerians a bad name even when we do have good ones (that don't do such) but because the other scammers have showed how bad they are it has to affect the rest, I'd say 49% of Nigerians are not scammers and it should be known to other countries who see we Nigerians as scammers.

Nigeria as a country is a hard-working country and the what affect their economy is as a result of the bad leadership they have in the country but the economy can be restored if they have a good leadership that is mainly looking for a way from make sure that there eliminate things from the country without having the negative mindset of achieving something from their government so when you talk of scam country because they have a natural resources and all the use in Nigeria majority of them is hardworking you who depend on the natural resources to make out their own money
I think scammers are more or less available in all countries so mentioning only one country will make it difficult to analyze. However i agree with your words partly because we ourselves have created the gap between the rich and the poor. Like if you don't have money you can't go to good school, get medical treatment, get good food and get job in good place. Moreover if you want to start a business then need for money is immense. Hence a poor person has to struggle in life with many problems which rich people are ahead of.

Out population is much and economy isn't all that strong to carter for some of or people but an average Nigerian is an hard working person that can survive in the midst of a hard and tough economy.

But maybe thats not the only problem here. What about education? I saw you mention somewhere else that you dont care much for formal schooling - you just focus on making money. Frankly that comment struck me as misguided. Seems like something only someone without much education would say. So could that be part of the problem in your country? Like, people dont get enough general education or training?
Im just thinking out loud and it is probably more complicated than that. There is likely bigger forces at work shaping how hard people work and what opportunities they have. But education seems like one piece of the puzzle that we shouldnt ignore. An educated population tends to contribute more to an economy overall. What do you think - does lack of education play any role here, or is it almost all down to each persons character and initiative? Curious to hear what you think.
The reality of Nigeria is only the rich can survive.
I think this is the reality for most countries. Without government support, if you're just living below the poverty level then you're likely to do something that's against your will and that's why if the question if most scammers are from that country, I'd say that they can be found everywhere. With that notion, it all started with those internet/email scams long time ago and that's why they're labelled like that. But look at the exchange owners that tend to be a scam like FTX and also the likes of Do Kwon, they're not from that country and yet, they've scammed a lot of money from the innocent people that have believed in them. And going about the survival rate, even those people that are not having the best life and are in poverty. They're also surviving and fighting a good fight and balance way of living. I hope that someday that this notion will change and people will be cleared with their minds that if it's about scams, those abusive and real scammers can be found everywhere and they're not only specific to this country. Hopefully, most governments from the countries that have high corruption rate will have someone to save them from that state too.

OP is this a question or just trying to know peoples view, I have thoroughly checked the content your thread, the caption does not relate much with the message, if you must know, most scammers are not from Nigeria, is just that the situation of things here are being caused by our politicians, in case of another time, if you have a question to ask go straight to the point, don't make it look as if you are being biased, how does a bad economy relate to citizens being scammers, I don't think there is any connection in this, lets not just post, scrutinize your facts before bring it to the public notice, though this is my opinion.

OP, so in your mind's eye you can say to yourself that you actually posted something truthful with all that misleading assumptions? Whether you're a Nigerian or not, you should've stated your fact clearly from what angle you wrote.Quote

Even the best countries you think of in Europe also have scammers. But of course, no one has the justification of going into crime because they're poor and broke or because their government is bad. It's a choice (bad choice) people make and then turn around to blame someone for it. Hardship is everywhere, globally. Crime is also everywhere globally and that's the reason there are prisons.
Now that's just racist and I think that this has been disproven before, the person that got caught using this Nigerian prince scam was found in a state in USA and the dude is hillbilly white. I think there's really no accurate metric as to which nation's got the most scammers because right now we can't say for sure because we're biased because those that's shown to us through algorithm which makes us think that they're the country with the most scammers, for example, I was watching a scam call center in India get busted by some scambaiter and then my algorithm just gave me all these scammers getting busted by scambaiters that's mostly in India. It's such a sad thing that this is what's happening all over the world, I guess it's because you've got no choice and there's no other way around with your life, you need to do what you've got to do.
The reality of Nigeria is only the rich can survive.
This is a poor mans mentality, why will you think that survival is only for the rich, can the rich make a living without the help of the poor, they will have to depend on the poor ones to help them with their works, also the poor are not too tied to be on the same spot for life except they choose to, there are opportunities everywhere and people are making use of it to maintain a living and change their own story as well, I've seen many poor people becoming rich with their determination and pursuit after excellent.
