Topic: Wrong mentality of scammers (Read 252 times)

Una done talk well, mostly, watin draw my attention come this discussion nah the thing way op talk say and nah true, me self I done reason am like this before, nah because say some parents done ginger their children to do all this fraud stuffs nai make now others chicken and youths done just dey feel say nah food thing to do.
Nai make i believe say nah the elderly people nai dey spoil the hart of the upcoming ones, just because say them want money, although money nah better thing but e go still better pass if everybody go get am in the right way

Well spoken my brother, this issue of naija being exposed in this fraud more than other countries na true because most of this Asia countries like India and Philippines even worse pass naija well well when it's comes to scamming rate and nobody dey ever look or see their deeds because naija don paint the internet as the most fraudulent nation but as you talk am these other countries dem worse pass us well well.

My issue with this whole matter be say the thing don dey turn something wey our society don already dey accept am as legit  and legal because I don hear of so many cases wey mother's dey actually find money give their children and encourage them make them buy laptop learn this yahoo stuff instead of leading them on the right thing to do.

 No be only Naija way this problem day oo, ee day everywhere and to come reason am naija no be country with the highest rate of scammers. Countries like the UK and United States even with their better government and economy they still pass us for this scam thing. No be today scamming don start ee day tey but na because say we don come day too expose to the internet way make us they information. Everything way day sup day happen for reason, no be everybody go be doctor or lawyer, even when we get police dem we still get people way go still theft, na so life day, day bring equilibrium to life.
   We Nigerian we sabi over do our own things, they no day hide their own thing, some don even day see am as occupation sef, you go see small boy way still day secondary school day involve for fraud. Make we no feel say yahoo na normal thing, na wrong thing and ee day break the victim. People way choose not to involve no mean say day be fool or day no get brain but they see the value of humanity, na why day choose to do the right thing. Make we try day do the right thing and to put people in our shoe. No body go happy be victim of scam,  do person watin you wan make them do !!
  
  

Whether our government good or not, even if Nigeria be a country with the best economy in the world with plenty job opportunities, fraudsters, scammers and hackers  go still dey because some people go want find the easy way out. Even with the way the country dey go, some people choose to be different, dem don make a personal decision not to involve themselves with evil because them understand say there's no joy in stealing from another man.

One painful truth about yahoo be say small small we don dey normalize am, e don dey look like normal thing in our eyes. Some parents self dey encourage their wards to go do yahoo yahoo. Even when EFCC come for some people, their parents go dey claim say na them buy the cars and properties in the name of their pikin.

Making money without fear of getting caught my brother is peace of mind. All this why dem done chop people money make them enjoy one they for the thief one day for the owner. Thank God say plenty Nigerians done wise now they fit identify possible plot of scams. If not eh this people for finish people money leave them reckless. A lot of them are very talented and intelligent o ah only they vex for them say they no carry their talent they do better thing for life. One thing nah to get money another nah to get good reputation as you they enjoy your money see as them they hide up and down because they dey run from EFCC. They no fit waka freely for their environment enjoy their money.

Becoming a scammer shouldn't be an excuse that the government failed to handle her responsibilities, because I know that in a second world country where live is easy because the government has set a standard of living, there are also scammers in such countries. Scammers are everywhere in the world, sometimes these scammers are working for people, who force them to scam people if not they might get killed due to some selfish interest of their Boss. At the end any money that the scammer gets, the Boss gives them little and takes the lion share.

In Nigeria, the lack of patience and confidence in themselves that they can make it without scam is a major problem in the country, because people think that life is all about competition. Because Mr A has made money over night without Mr B knowing how he made his money, or because Mr B is jealous of Mr A, this will make Mr B goin into scamming because he wants to buy the new car that Mr A bought with his legitimate funds. Another thing is that our country government and leaders are not encouraging the youth to decease from fraudulent activities because the government and leaders are also scammers.

The government display their own scam through corruption, because when public funds is giving to the leaders to use in construction of roads and building of schools and hospital, they syphon these funds and give some percentage to the person that they know will be able to challenge them why the road is not done.

Imagine our new president was finally approved by the Supreme court yesterday that all allegations made on him by Atiku Abubakar was fake, when it was clear that Tinubu presented a forged result in the presidential election, and the court ruled it out. Is that not the biggest scam in Nigeria presently, using a forged result to become the number one citizen of the country because he wants to loot the country's funds. These leaders are teaching the youths and the children not to be sincere with things but to continue dwelling in fake lives and lies, all these are attributes of a scammer.

To add to this valid point of yours, is to say that, why is it that scammers have the whole of the day, time, efforts and sacrifice to learn the skills that they need scam people and they will not use the same time and effort to do something better and more positive. It baffles me a lot that one will take all his career to learn something awful to other people by defrauding them through different formats and ideas and they go as much as looking for updates to improve on it by the day.

Why can't the same effort and brain be put into something more positive and impactful to the people at large. For instance, there's money in Graphics designs, Copywriting, Digital marketing and other online jobs you can learn at your comfort zon [most of these skills courses are out there for free]. There are also platforms such as Upwork, Fivrr, amongst other platforms where you can sort for clients and social media platforms where you can build your clientele. Why not take advantage of these opportunities availed to you to learn something impactful.


When you know what these non-chalant people go through to scam people by begging them after hacking their accounts, yoy will be annoyed with their stupidity. How on heaven's earth will someone take all his time to learn how to take people's account from them and go to their contact list to start messaging them and asking for money from them.

How useless will that person be to go through that route. But this goes to talk about how degraded the behavior of our young people are right now. Their thinking capacity and their laziness as young people. If hacking people's account is what someone does for a living at his prime when he's supposed to work hard to find a niche and a sustainable source of income.

Firstly I expected you would drop the sad TikTok link you came across here to the board and hopefully it may serve a lession to some person's.
Meanwhile... The story told about the scammers life should not be funny as thought because those guys are not dramatic but diplomatic to strategies on how to extort and draining of ones earns.

Those guys are intelligently trickish to every possibilities to successful invasion to even take control of ones mental functionality with the potentials to victimize its victims.

However, it is something wondering why they can't channel those abilities to engage of legal activities with a payday assurance instead of induging on illegality of luck trial without a payday assurance living life of threats within its societies.

Na with yahoo guys you go take know say learning is easy because the motivating factor na money. You go surprise how yahoo buy wey no go school dey take operate lapy. That hussle dey make some young people don make better money wey some too don waste because of the challenges wey dey inside as dem don begin dey involve fatish stuff join make their maga be pay. Anyway, to join that thing na pair influence. Them say show me your friend and I go tell you who you are, if you get the mind of cheating someone else wetin you need na just a friend wey go introduce you. Me I feel say whether government or country good or not, people wey go still do Yahoo go still plenty because some people no like to dey go work in the morning and come back in the evening, dem also want big money.

I can understand your point but In this advance world of ours today, I think a failed system can't be the only thing that can make you go into such act because you are actually not the only one affected and choosing that road for me, it's just an excuse because their is always an alternative to how things can work out correctly and through the right part because many of the youth today actually create opportunity for themselves by doing thing from the vast knowledge that is available on the internet and many of them turn out to be quiet successful from it too.

Making money is not an easy task for both legitimate and illegitimate means. Your advise is good about channeling energy into the legitimate way of accumulating money. But truth be told, the reason these guys venture into scam most times is that the positive skills are mostly unrecognized by the government and clients tend to  take advantage of upcoming professionals with positive vibes and mindset towards money making.
Most of them keep trying and after persistent rejection from clients and job offers, they lose patience and venture into scam. I must say that most guys  venturing into scam is an evidence of  a failed government.

I know of many people who were very promising quite alright, but the condition of the country coupled with pressure from home and many responsibilities prompted them to embrace any faster and available route to making money to relieve too much pressure. Most of these people were pushed  into this by their parents too. I watched a skit on a guy that used his unborn children for ritual cos his mother asked him to  make money through any possible means and spend on her.

I am not justifying them scammers, I still believe in struggling and making money rightly. I also know how long it took me to make the little breakthrough I now enjoy in my career. Its not any easy man and it takes a thick skinned individual to persevere until he succeeds.

I'll advice scammers to remove their back hat put on a white hat and with the burning desire to succeed, they must enjoy a favorable breakthrough one day. But they've to be patient, work hard and believe its possible.

That's just the stupidity of everything, I mean people actually do the wrong stuff for the right reason all the time, it's as if doing the right thing is really hard and way beyond realization, but not actually true as these wrongful deeds are sometimes more stressful and time consuming. Just this case of hacking Whatsapp and beg for money, I mean that's a typical lazy man mentality because someonw who really wants to build something for himself won't actually go down that lane at all even if the person no get money at all.

For real, instead of this scammers going around look for who to scam why not get a good job that pays daily or monthly for themselves. Job full everywhere na lazy person go prefer to sitdown one place dey scam people.
Everyone should be careful oh, now wey everybody dey hustle for their December funds. Everyday na new things dey come scammers ready to scam oh.
And now the new method is they have converted that scamming method to begging, now that Mark has bought whatsapp and whatsapp is no longer private, the reason I brought this whatsapp matter here is that scammers are hacking through peoples whatsapp now using QR scan code or link device and they will start begging for money using your whatsapp, most people have fallen victim to this and it is not funny. Why will a normal human being with his right senses decide to hack peoples whatsapp and be begging for money. Make we dey careful make we no go fall into the hands of scammers

Op your paragraphs are like traveling to abroad trip. It will s too wide and it affecting readers eyes so I advise you to reduce the paragraphs to readable size. Internet fraudsters have never slept in the night, they use the night to attack and learn new method to convince and scam their victims. They learn new new things every day to scam people. Most of them are doing to work out of frustration and lack job.

But they would have use that their precious time to do legit business which can fetch them legit income.

Scammers are very intelligent than you think. You talked about how they get there information? One thing you should understand is that, when you are trying to scam somebody, you will go extra mile to get what you want. Just like the way you spend time here to lean about crypto currency so do dey study criminology. So getting information is a minor issue. Some online form you fill with your full details applying for something, do you know the owner of that website? Some link you click which takes you to another page are scam link. Another one is registration using Facebook or Gmail sign-up can hack your phone and get any information.

Like I said scammers are very smart. When dey notice people have started knowing their format dey change to another. Those set of people, The way they will scam you, you'll never know. You can only be free from them If you know there ways. and by always avoiding clicking everything that pop up on your phone screen. because most of them are virus dat can be monitoring your activities on your device. So you can say "no matter the parttern they use, they can hardly succeed" but if preventive messures are not taken you can still fall a victim.

I disagree with you on this. I am not on the opinion of supporting fraudulent activity, but those people are not what they are painted for. If am not mistaken, you said when dey should be learning hand work or going to school they chose what wouldn't benefits their life. most of them have handwork and working. but when the responsibility dey have is bigger than their earning. They star looking for a way out. Some did once and achieve their goal and start up from there and never went back to it. But some choose to continue and make it an office.

Educational aspect you said? Someone who is not educated how come they scam people online? These people have tarlent but chose to use Dem in the wrong direction. If most of them are given an ideal opportunity,  dey will do beter. What most of them need is to show them the write part that's just all.

They said time waits for nobody why because when they should be learning hand works or be in school is when they will use it for something that won't benefits their lives after years passed and they think is too hard for them to start afresh they will look for illegal business to associate themselves, thinking that is the best way or right. I could remembered one of my girlfriend who always acts classy and making mockery of me that I don't associates myself with classy men saying all manner of things about me, today she has nothing to count on even for her to fall back to start something very useful for her life were too difficult so today she has no work and not yet married. Just like an abandoned property.

The fact is that whenever anyone plans well she will end well, she it's to scammers some of them thought is easier to scam people but is the most deadly business to associated with why because whenever they are being caught some of them are being jailed. So the fact is just develop yourself and do something that is legit to sustain one's life instead of involving oneself in evil activity.

In this life there is nothing good as making a clean money is the best because I see no reason why most of the people will leave to make a genuine money and start scamming people of there money.

Sometimes I can't help but wonder if those scammers has a conscience, how could someone laboured all his life and when he decided to enjoy his labor you scammed them, sometimes can't help but wonder how they even manages to get some private  information from people, and when they call you they sound very professional and going in details about your data in other to prove to you that they are real and before you no they have scammed the person.

Perhaps this days they are finding it difficult to scam people because they have known all there tactics now so no matter the pattern they use they can hardly succeed.

My country men una well done,



So I was just relaxing and surfing on the internet, trying to entertain myself a bit, then I came across this interesting skit by some user on the platform TikTok which really got attention because of the specific message he was actually trying to pass and as I watched it I tried relating what he was actually saying to my immediate environment and it fits so well that I thought I should drop it in the community today and hear your own personal view and take on this.



So we all know how the country be, and how boys for the streets dey continue involved themselves into fraud and many scam related stuffs just to make ends means and the funny thing about this is that some of these guys actually aren't really that educated and have found it really hard to do things the right way and, by this I mean actually following the right path to make money and some of the reasons most guys actually get involved in these scam ethics is because they actually deem it very easy which is actually a big fucking lie, but the lifestyle most of these fraudster lives makes fraud business looks so easy which is actually a mirage because nothing is actually ever easy especially when it's comes to making 💰 money. I have some friends who have actually said that doing fraud is actually the easiest way to make an ends, but when they actually tell me what they pass through day and night for this, then I start to think how funny it really is, how we are willing to some extent of a certain desire to actually do THE WRONG THINGS FOR THE RIGHT REASON  .



I imagine not sleeping all day and night trying to convince someone for them to actually do your biddings for the purpose of trying to scam or learning all the technological stuff about hacking, sending constant fake mail, claiming multiple identities and so many other hard stuff, and of which scammers are of the mentality that it's supposed to be easy and we all know how hard it is to actually learn and dedicate your mind to things you are not familiar with especially when it comes to tech stuffs but for these guys the dedication and committed is really on another level and this really make me wonder how funny the world is and how people are actually willing to the wrong things for the right reasons.

Why not just channel all this energy and time and actually follow the right path, because obviously, trying to scam too is actually not easy and if you are caught there is a penalty that follows it, but following the right way holds no sanction and requires the same commitment too.



Please, what's your take on this, make we yan small Tori for this issue.
