Some of these are not true. I have a nickname "ProgrammerX" and I don't have a profile pics. Guess what? I am NOT a scammer.

THAT IS WHAT THE OP IS SAYING. YOU ARE AN EXAMPLE ALREADY. SCAMMERS DONT PUBLICIZE THEMSELVES.

So you are calling me a scammer?

I don't know o... I didn't say that. it's just your name..

I am no scammer, I have a complete linkedin profile and complete facebook and google plus profile. I also have a complete quora and stackoverflow profile. I don't have my real name and a profile pics on NL because I don't know how to upload a profile pics, mostly because I've not really checked and I don't like names like john555 or obi565.

I guess you are a scammer, looking at your name "sugarcious", and how do we know that the person on your profile pics is really you and not someone else? I guess we would never know.

As for the op, please remove this thread. Just because you have a complete NL profile and your name is wizmike or wisdom michael, doesn't mean everyone else should and everyone who doesn't, is a scammer.

Wizmike111:
Avoid been scam, never do business with anyone too quick to tell you "inbox me" when you haven't even propose a business deal.
Don't do business with anyone using nicknames or short names (WF, coded, etc). Never do business with anyone not having a profile pics. If he uses a female pics, he is a scammer.
If his bank account details is totally different from his Nairaland/Facebook names, he is a scammer. But they can never run always as long you paid the money into their account. They can never run always as long they have a phone number which you have called. They can never run away as long you save the chats. You can track them with technology and human intelligence.

I also don't see anything wrong with asking someone to inbox you. I find it rather difficult to make a post or change a post on NL compared to other sites like SO, where you don't need to navigate off the page just to comment.

What if I am a female and I use a male's pics as my profile pics, does that also make me scammer? What if I am a male and I use a dog's pics, does that also make me a scammer? Please stop making baseless insinuations

You made valid points though. I was just pulling your legs. MrProgrammerX!!
