We all have encountered Nigerian scams tactic.

Nigerian scammer are everywhere.

In online marketplace website, online bidding, old coin collector, bitcoin, eth, upwork, fiverr and many other places.

As if they have school up there in nigeria to teach people how to scam.

In the old days, they will say that they are dying prince from nigeria with multibillion dollars money, and need some money from you for paying lawyers and legal procedure.

Their main MO are usually the same. they want you to send some money as a fees for them to release whatever they had promised you.

now I would like to see your experience with nigerians, and let others learn from your experience on their trick to lure you into their trap.  ;D

the best topic ive ever seen so far :))
ive met them all!! prince, princess, medicine student who was living in exile, lawyers aaand so oon :)
i contacted all of them but nobody ever sent me the money :(

I have one nigerian really send me money. At that time I was really scared.

Because I know that he was using 3rd party scam tactics to scam people.

The receiver of the money will always be reported.

so, I sent back the money to the original source.

I was wondering, what is their tactics in crypto scene.

You are all wrong, the poor bastard tried to give away his money, but no one answered his requests so>

wtf. hahaha.

Why are these scammers always from Nigeria?

They're (typically) not actually from Nigeria, they just say they are, such as this guy:

As to why? I don't really have a good answer for that. Maybe in the beginning it makes it seem more plausible? At this point though, it's probably well known enough such that most people know it's a scam

It sounds impossible, but every once in a while, one in thousand, some poor shmuck falls for this scam. That's what keeps all these Princes going.
