There are still Nigerians Fraudsters Online.... Beware

I was at work this morning when a Doctor somewhere in America added me on my Work Skype account.I knew it was a scam but I accepted the invite just to proof to people that Nigerians are still online scamming people.

The guy must have thought he has a seen maga. They usually disguise to be someone else. He kept on insisting on getting to know me. Then he will lie to me to send him money. That's how it's starts then he will continue scamming me and collecting my hard earned cash.



We have to be aware.

Here's a list of things to do when a stranger adds you on FB, Skype, IG and other social media platforms.

• Never send money or give credit card details, online account details or copies of personal documents to anyone you don’t know or trust and never by email.


• Avoid any arrangement with a stranger that asks for up-front payment via money order, wire transfer, international funds transfer, pre-loaded card or electronic currency. It is rare to recover money sent this way.


• Do not agree to transfer money for someone else. Money laundering is a criminal offence.


• Seek independent advice from someone you know and trust if in doubt.


• Verify the identity of the contact by calling the relevant organisation directly – find them through an independent source such as a phone book or online search. Do not use the contact details provided in the message sent to you.


• Do an internet search using the names or exact wording of the letter/email to check for  any references to a scam – many scams can be identified this way.


• If you think it’s a scam, don't respond — scammers will use a personal touch to play on your emotions to get what they want.


• Remember there are no get-rich-quick schemes: if it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
