some years ago, someone send me a long message that carry some fake seeds phrase on social media that he is the founder of BTC and he just felt like helping me to grow financially in my country so that I will make BTC more popular in the land, if only I will not expose him as the Satoshi and he has helped many people in one of the developed countries, and if I'm ready he will help but I have a task to pay. But the moment I told him that am from Nigeria and we use our local tools to kill scammers, and immediately he blocked me because he knew that I discovered his strategies, because the real Satoshi will never come out at this time that everything about BTC is going well.well,
we will continue talking about scammers until we all know the way they operate in the community.No matter how we talk or preach about scammer, the public Will always fall victim.
Just like nwada001 said that those people be like who get PhD for psychology because Dem dey always know how to enter people. When them know say the update Don cast Dem change format. when MMM come people fall victim. And after MMM many other related scam come out and people also fall victim up till date. Those guys the dey take advantage of the hardship of the economy. Because people dey find possible way out of the hardship of the country naim make them dey fall victim. If you discover there way, what about the domb ones wey no go ever get sense?
And moreover scam of this days dey Cary jaz. Dem go remotely control you ontil you don fall victim before your eyes go clear. The perten dey broad beyond your imagination. Them dey come as follows:
1) house and land agents.
2) Custom agent.
3) fake Visa agents
4) fake prophet
5) fake car dealers
6) fake advert
7) invest 40k and get 80k in 45 munits
8 ) get paid by doing nothing
9) pos hacking
10) fake sport subscription and registration
11) fake business name registration
12 fake navy, air Force army and Police form
13) online recruitment for working in Canada Etc.
there are many of them out there but this are the ones I can figure out for now.
I was once a victim of number (6) fake advert. Phone of 80k was given an offer for 35k discount of about 55%. And I was so happy that the phone I was creaving for is now on my door step. I chatted with the admin he said yes that the phone is ready. Dey made me believe that it was delivery before payment for me to see them as trusted machants. After a week I still chatted. They told me that it's still available but I will have to pay part of the money that people who ordered for phone disappointed Dem, so dey don't want to be wasting tp. So I said ok I bergain price with them 10k which I sent. Dey received the money and later sent me a message that my goods is packed and ready for delivery that I should expect it before some hours later and sent me the number of their agent that is bringing it. after some hours later, the agent called me that he was detained by some cleaning agent. That I should send the remaining one to discharge the case otherwise the money will not be refunded and phone will neither come to me. Hmmmm at this point I knew something was fishy. I call and call at that point I just knew I was scammed. Emagine those fools sending me Bible quotation that will make me finish what I started.. e no easy oooo.
This was my reply on the thread. Just want to shear my expirience on scammers and the ways they Operate and how to avoid them.
