Topic: Funny: "Nigerian" Scams Shifting To Bitcoin? - page 3. (Read 1004 times)
I've receive those kind of offers in my Facebook account, email, Twitter DM. I tried to let them feel that I am convinced with their scheme but they somehow detected that I am just playing along and maybe they are not really a Nigerian, they are just saying that they are Nigerian to put Nigerians in a bad light. I'm not going to be surprised to see them (Nigerians and pretending to be Nigerians) in the lending section.
Please do not be racist, there is no where in that message that confirms the location of the sender.
It is well known that these scams emanate from countries all over the world like; Russia, Greece, Indonesia to name a few.
Calling this a Nigerian scam is quite pathetic and racist so I have reported your post

I agree, even in Philippines scammer are shifting from forex to cryptocurrency trading disguise. Scammers are everywhere, its that some place were too much exploited because of lack of knowledge but if you look at the profile of these scammers, they came from different country and mostly from developed country since they know the weak spot of these poor people.
I don't think there has been any racism here, the majority of all scam emails originate from Nigeria. I have received 100's of scam emails into my email account and funnily enough every single one was from Nigeria.
I don't feel they will be able to get the same response from the bitcoin trade as they have with fiat.
We are just lucky to have some of you lot guiding us!

Fortunately people should already have some brains to understand what is bitcoin and it works so they won't get scammed this way. Also for newbies it will be another barrier because they might not get how it works and give up with an idea of sending money to someone else. I would recommend to send this type of scam to different scam allerts so people can easily google it.
This type of scams is called nigerian because a huge amount of such e-mails was sent from the name from the name of the ex nigerian president, his wife, daughter etc.

Check your full member privilege! Dude, we don't want antifa to come and wreck this forum apart.
Joking aside, it's nice to see that even the nigerian price has adopted bitcoin. Tho, I wouldn't find this attempt of scamming, in bitcoin community, to be that successful or be successful at all. Why? Well because people that are using bitcoin need to have just a little knowledge to know and to identify a scam like this, as with fiat many more people are using it without that much thought at all, so the community won't let this scammer get anything.

I think this a good sign of bitcoin increased popularity. And you know what they say, there is not bad publicity!
I think it is not only for Nigerian because I received a similar email before. Upon reading it, I knew that it was a scam because who would send me 150 BTC? Lol. I didn't open the link because I thought that it was a phishing site. I decided to immediately delete the email.
They are always on track, now they are switching from Forex to Bitcoin... 2 perfect legal things that look like a scam because of these people

I almost fell from my chair while reading this spam email on my Gmail account. It was not long time ago that "Nigerian type" of email scams circulated all over the internet enticing unsuspecting victims about their winnings of this and that...but you have to pay something in order to get what you have won.
Now, with Bitcoin getting popular, these scammers can be back in the business and this time around they would be using of course Bitcoin as the background of the story and of course as the mode of payment in case anybody can still be willing to be the sacrifice in the altar of learning what can be scam and not a scam.
Hmmm...I better be attending to a Halloween sale below.
Note: I want to clarify that I did not say that emails like this originated from Nigeria...take a look I said "Nigerian type" meaning it has some resemblance with those supposedly emails from Nigeria many years ago...and this info is all over the internet...it is not me who called these emails as "Nigerian"...please know that before you make such a report.
