Topic: Are most scammers from Nigeria? - page 3. (Read 511 times)

If you are from a country that has a system that works,  such an account owner is in danger of being felt with as the first responded offender and he goes to jail for being so stupid to allow her account to be used for such unlawful transactions,  I read somewhere on social media where a woman carried out to the public about her husband arrest and detention because he allowed a scammer to use is UK bank account to receive a large sum of money for a scammer from another country a d being given percentage.

Some of these scammers have a large network base and have spread across countries,  using one another to perpetuate such acts and sharing the percentage.

So for that,  we can't really say for sure which country scams the most, because most of those scammers work as groups and sometimes even bank staff are part of the scam network.

Here in our country, there is what we call a "love scam".  Most Nigerians will engage with naive local women then extort money from.  Some of the victims that I know stated that they will ask for your bank account then they will use it for money laundering.  The will transfer large amount of money then transfer to other bank accounts.  They do not even know where the money came from and the Nigerians will not reveal any information about it.  But because of their relationship and love and trust with the Nigerian, they will just permit them to their thing and continue using their accounts for money laundering.

I'm very surprised at this post. Stating this here is the most irrational thing I've seen today, you think Nigeria is the worst of all, you lie because virtually most countries have regions suffering from these things and applying media protection and behavioral modification to make their countries look standard. it will surprise you that even America has slums checkout this link https://www.ncesc.com/geographic-faq/where-are-american-slums/, but you wouldn't see it being advertised, rather their might and good sides.

It's very Immature to come here to paint your country black. now tell me, are you seeking pity or validation?. You just displayed naivety at its apex. Let me tell you, every Nigerian has a very high survival instincts, just that in the quest of survival, some of them tread the wrong way and it exists in almost every country. Also, you seeing only the negative aspects of the citizens and not the positives is a testimony of your pessimism. My greatest problem with your post is that you are here advertising your country's weakness, who does that?.

This is wrong, you don't only need to be rich to survive here, you need to be smart and have the ability to recognize opportunities. Bro, work hard and get yourself out of poverty, you don't get rich by complaining or seeking pity. Even if there is hardship in the country, there is ample opportunities to really make it big in Nigeria if you're not lazy minded. Rise up man, get a skill, market it and make money to live a comfortable life rather than coming here to complain.

I thought most scammers were from Africa and Asia in general, actually. It has been documented that in India and some African countries are are whole facilities dedicated for people to scam through internet others living in developed countries, like the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia and all countries in Europe. Scamming is like an institution in those countries, like a business,  those are like call centers where people spend the day trying to scam as much money as possible and they get a percentage of their theft, since as far as I know, the owner of the facility takes a big cut out the scammed funds.
Though I am aware it is something which came from Africa and Asia, it would be very daring to say that Nigeria is the main scammer country on the planet, here in my country alone, in Latin America there are already many of them. Such affirmations only hurt the sense and perception people can have on Nigeria, which I am sure is a lovely country, despise of all the problems it could be going through.

Ofcourse, any Nation so obsessed with money and don't care how it's earned will have lots of scammers. Money seems to be the god of such nation. It is easy to detect the money lovers here as their posts is so focused on coming out of poverty, money making, inheritance, and stuff like that. The more you focus on these, the more you need them.
People need to begin to learn to live without money and start living for the good of people/society. A time of great scarcity is coming. A time when money won't be needed. Those who rely on the CREATOR of the Universe will gain lots of good knowledge and wisdom to survive.

The Answer to that question is NO, what you heard of Nigeria is a wrong perspective of Nigeria regardless to scam. There is No country Globally that scammers doesn't exist U.S, Britain, Asia etc. so don't use your experience with one or what you heard to justify an entire nation. Globally you can see Nigerians thriving in various fields positively, politics, Academics, sports, movie industries, Entertainments etc.

What Nigeria is experiencing is as a result of bad governance and bad leadership, who fail to provide the basic necessity needed by it's populous citizens and the environment. There is no jobs opportunities and Nigeria have a large population, this has affected Nigerians but it has also build many not to depend on government alone. I know because of its large population crime and fraud are meant to occur or people engaging in negative acts but in every society there is always the good ones and bad ones.

Are most scammer from Nigeria? I really do think this is the most ridiculous statement I have heard this year, my question to you is that, are you a Nigerian? Because I have met so many reputable and sincere Nigerian, which I don't think they are what you make them look like.

For it's quite normal that in a society where the government are not providing jobs and other social amenities, their is a very high tendencies of fraud and criminality in the state which I believe is not only happening in Nigeria, but also in most countries across the globe that the people are not well taken care of, so my point is that if you know nothing about Nigeria, don't just conclude base on what you heard or one bad experience you had with a Nigerian, remember one person cannot define everyone.

Are most scammers from Nigeria?


CIA, FBI, Biden & US gov, fiat banking system, NATO, UN, etc.

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.

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.
