Topic: Rise in crypto related scam in Nigeria what is the course - page 3. (Read 376 times)

Scams, yeah, it does exists in Nigeria, I wouldn’t pretend it doesn’t. It’s low budget and done on small scales due to the people involved, level of exposure and the technology that is available to them. Hence, the numbers might be there but, the volume is often less compared to some nations with high skilled tech and a lot more exposure. I’ll just say, crimes are more organized out there better than it is down here. That doesn’t make us particularly angels though but, we are indeed finding a healing pathway thank you.

I feel the problem of the Nigerian people in regard to the subject is better understandable by the Nigerian people. Good thing we have a local board here for this thread to be directed there.
The fact that you used the Nigerian pighin here should tell you where the thread should be. Mind you, the unofficial rule doesn’t allow the use of other languages outside its locale although, this isn’t an obvious case.

What am saying however is, Let the people who feel it, who are impacted by the conditions that results to these decisions to scam, possibly to have met or interviewed discretely, some of the individuals involved in this tell you what it is out there. The victims might be foreigners but, they don’t get the root course like the Nigerian people. The local board should be able to say more on this, if you’re indeed interested in this subject.

Your country isnt different with ours. Crypto is becoming a mainstream and a lot of new users who doesnt have experience or knowledge falls into the traps of thosw who take advantage of it. Its an unfortunate event but what we can only do is warn them about the potential of being scam as people might use the hype for personal interest and lay a fraud investment at your palm.

Each country across the world is suspected to be scam country in social media not only in Nigeria, theirs varieties of countries that when you mention that you're from their people will think you're a scammer,  Nigeria is a good country that has different natural resources including crude oil, so if you are labeling the citizens of Nigeria as a scammers that's someone personal thinking, because I know that no country is exempted in any that has to do with scam, so since I have been in Nigeria I have never record scam and nobody has attempted to scam me, so since I have not be scammed in my country and no my relatives that is been scammed I can't believe that Nigerias are scammer.

Nigerian poeple are in their local board, if you're more interested in our replies, you know where to look- this post is more appropriate there.

The biggest crypto scammers, biggest crypto hackers are all associated/linked to North Korea it has nothing to do with Nigerians. I don't know what you want to achieve with this post but you're clearly misinformed.

Poverty is a cause.  The other is that Bitcoin can be used wrong and no Government can do any thing besides investigating and arresting the bad people.  The third is probably that being in Nigeria is like a waiver of laws.  What happens to a Nigerian if they scam a United States resident?  Or an European?  If the sums involved are billions, maybe a proper investigation is launched.  But even then, I do not know how much can be done about it.

Don't get me wrong, and please don't take my comment as any means of racism, but i'm not surprised at all.
Sadly, 9 out of 10 people that have tried scamming me in Crypto were in fact, of Nigerian origin.
I'm sure it's not a mentality, but maybe poverty issue

It's no news that our country Nigeria is one country that has been always linked with scam and criminals related activities online but things has gotten to a new level with the emergence of crypto currency especially Bitcoin which has become popular in the world especially in Nigeria

And with many people trying to benefits from the crypto space as it has a lot of profit potential when it comes to investments especially Bitcoin which has continued to soar higher every day that passes

But one big challenge we are faced with in the crypto space is scam because people fall into the trap of these scammers almost on a daily basis it's worst in our beloved country Nigeria has scammers has really find a way into the crypto space

This got me thinking what could be the course of this why are people falling into more scams and why is scam on the rise in Nigeria because with the way things are now immediately your identified as a Nigerian in social media platforms online as a Nigerian you are suspected to be a scammer

Make una talk una mind my Nigerian people ?
