A crypto Scammer on the run

[CAPT.DEADPOOL]

In such situations you need to be very careful especially with the new projects involved because we do not know if it is really legit or a scam so it is better to review carefully before joining for experienced investors to join the scam projects it is a lesson for them to be even more careful especially when participating in new projects and about nigerians who have been able to carry a large amount of money really need to be caught so that investors can return the money and teach the lesson this person not all nigerians are scammer but many say that there are many scammer in that country but i believe that there are only a few scammer people in that country.

not only Nigerian also there's a lot of scammers around the world. I think if they give rewards for capturing or giving information where the person is located would be a very big help in my opinion. I was thinking if they should reward in cash or in crypto?

Most of the people here will disagree with you regarding you isolating Nigerians as the scammers in the crypto industry because among the thousands out there you will see that scams are spread all through out the world, some scammers' nationalities are not even identified because the scammer itself is not known and is only working in the shadows. You won't hear any kind of information from scammers running HYIP sites and you will barely see information of scammers hacking exchanges, the ones who are identified are mostly in different races. Simply you cannot judge a project because it has a Nigerian part of the team.

He knows that and he stated that he doesn't hate this country. It is just that he believes that the majority of its people is scammers. But I do agree with you, the scammers is widely came throughout the world. There is no specific country but each and every country has it. OP shouldn't judge them by simply looking at their citizenship, it is better to have their own basis why he should leave the project.

There are few ingredients that breeds more scammers than others in a country. It's not the country that is to be blamed though.
The country that has lower minimum wage, more educated people and less jobs as well as good and stable internet connection makes them have more scammers. Corruption and lawlessness helps them flourish. Nigeria, Indian and Eastern European countries including Russia are without exception high on scammers.

Some people can invest in anything if they promised good things in return, it's alarming how people believes scammers easily, after looking into pinkoin and Inksnation I don't see how people could trust such project, it projects smells scam completely

That's a serious point raised by yourself mate, the time has come for cryptocurrency investors to realize the implication of greediness, they just want some double returns of their investment without looking at the real world case uses of the project. Those scammers doesn't care about your safety, but we should do becasue it's our had earned money. Am such that easily understand when they are trying to scam, but even though we report them doesn't stop these noobs investors to make their investment with these scammers. Also, scammers aren't just Nigeria but global issue, so, OP should have do more better in his write-up.

Not in nigeria only, all places of the world have scammers on it. If there is opportunity to gain there will always be someone who will cheat their way to get the rewards. We just need to be vigilant and dont trust immediately. If youre in a long run trust is important but giving it to trustworthy people will bring great benefit and otherwise you will get scammed.

Stop defending this country, it's always Nigerians, there are too many scammers from that country, they sometimes use stolen I.D to deceive investors, Nigerians are behind the kingcasino scam project too, they use fake teams to full many, I hope this guy get caught and get sentenced to prison

Lured by the lure of quick and big profits. The crypto world is very vulnerable to fraud because it has a strong appeal and we also know that there are always attempts by scammers to act in different ways and patterns, this can happen not only in countries like Nigeria.

This is where the importance of more detailed data and information so that the opportunity for a scammer to be irresponsible to take a gap in this industry is reduced.

Scamers do not see the country or the differences between blacks / whites and of course they are everywhere, we don't even know if scamers are around us. So, this case can be used as an example, especially to always reconsider every decision you want to make, especially if you plan to invest in cryptocurrencies, because the risk is always there, friend.

You shouldn't blame me from running away from any crypto project that has a nigerian as one of its members, I don't hate this country but it's majority of its people are something else, not all nigeriana are bad though but .......here is a news I came across yesterday,

It's actually empowering to see that people are getting held accountable at some places because of the scams that they are doing within a digital world. That means that Cryptocurrencies really made an impact on Nigeria since they want to keep their community clean by hunting down criminals. It would be unfair to say to not trust any people from Nigeria or even different countries but we must stay vigilant and aware that scammers are everywhere so we should just keep our money safe.

Hope you're also aware there are good ones among us, there are millions of us with good heart, we can't kill a fly, but equally are those with the bad hearted individual who are gluemed to scam indeed. Not justifying the action of the pinkin coin which was run by the said man on the photograph, he thoughts that the crypto industry is a child-play, he actually made some bad decisions about the project. There shouldn't be any investment that should promise it investors some bogus returns like in this case. The CEO ask those investors to invest #1,000 to make a return of #3,000 which is unrealistic in my honest view. The returns aren't good and this made him a victim on this scheme executed by himself. I hope his were about be find by the Nigeria Police and he be made to return investors funds and face the law squarely.

Color and race do not really defy if they are scammers, because every people really has the decision to be good or bad, sometimes it is based on their needs but it doesn't really good to take advantage of those people who are really trying to make their life good. If you really want to be a good investor, you should study and be aware that bad things may happen along the way but if you have the knowledge, it makes the risk lower and can make your goal possible. Knowledge and understanding are important to success.

I realize Nigeria is loaded with con artists as well however don't circumvent confiding in ventures in light of the fact that their individuals aren't from Nigeria lol, I'm kind of hesitant on Russian blockchain ventures. I simply trust that there are less instances of extortion utilizing advanced monetary forms in Nigeria, as the Nigerian government could have no other decision except for to force guidelines on Bitcoin and other computerized monetary forms.

Because people like easy money they will continue to get scammed, whether with cryptocurrency or not. I read about this Inksnation thing early this year and knew at once that it was a ponzi. Any business that promise to trade for you or pay you a certain percentage daily or monthly should not be trusted. They are only after your money. Internet scams is everywhere and not limited to certain countries. There are thieves in every country, even in Finland which is believed to be the most trusted country in the world.

Looks like you are just overgeneralizing that all Nigerians are scammers. Just because a lot of Nigerians are involved in scamming doesn't mean you will be running away from each and every projects initiated by Nigerians. All you will be doing is just discourage those legit people who comes up with good ideas. Scammers are everywhere. Not just in Nigeria. If majority of people "were bad", their country would have been completely destroyed by now.
Don't turn away from crypto currencies just because of few scammers. Instead, take steps to protect your self from them.

[kbhutto]

I hope the state apparatus can arrest him as soon as possible.  In this part of the world the crypto industry is growing rapidly but there are still investors who are victims of fraud due to a lack of knowledge in researching any crypto project.  Developers with various sweet words and nonsense have always been the main weapon to attract investors.  I hope to always be careful investing in new projects because it will be difficult to determine the conditions for project development because new projects are always the prima donna for developers to make money by deception.

Law should be strict against such scammers and they should be punished as much as possible because these scammers destroy the dreams of hundreds or thousands of people that invest their life savings in hope of better days ahead but all they get is scam and regrets.

[imstillthebest]

Any business that promise to trade for you or pay you a certain percentage daily or monthly should not be trusted. They are only after your money.

certain percentage is small so its not linked to scam but if you say they promise this high percentage for this date , that can be suspicious anymore .

also not all business that offer trades for you are scam because theres actually a kind of business or a service like that  but a strict background check is a must on that kind of service because that is one of the most used tactics by scammers  .

You shouldn't blame me from running away from any crypto project that has a nigerian as one of its members, I don't hate this country but it's majority of its people are something else, not all nigeriana are bad though

though you apoligize but this still sounds not right on me , im not from this country and i heard that there are scammers from this country but i never say those things to them because this country wasnt alone but scammers are from all around the world

Aside from the law being more strict than it was before, new investors should not think of making an easy money with their investment. This is the reason why there are still some victims, they think that investing is all about sending the money and receiving an interest after a short period of time. We should know that there will be no scammers if there will be no victims that will let it happen.

[joseyphil82]

Nigeria is on the top 10 most corrupted countries in the world, what do you expect? We can't forget what happened last year in america, many where arrested for massive fraud cases and they aren't stopping, the economy of that country is very very bad I heard so I don't expect anything else from such country

[Kunnu]

I am not against Nigeria this is a beautiful country with beautiful people but Nigerian scammers have took down the reputation of their nation by doing this kind of scam attempts which is absolutely pathetic now people would hardly like to invest in a genuine project which comes from Nigeria anyways good to see that the government and police of Nigeria is taking action against scammers hopefully it will bring positive results for their nation.
