Genevieve Nnaji's Fame Abused By 419 Internet Scammers I don't know if anyone on Nairaland has taken up this very important and urgent matter of the abuse and misuse of Genevieve Nnaji's Fame by 419 Internet Scammers. I cannot post all the exhibits here. You can read more and see more exhibits on this website investigating the fraud by one Miss Young. http://419.bittenus.com/GenevieveNnjadi/index.htm

You don't know how dangerous this is?
Most White people don't know who is Genevieve Nnaji and these White people are always the target of these notorious Internet Scammers and they could be fooled and end mistaking Genevieve Nnaji for a criminal or a participant in the crime of 419 Internet Scams.

Actually, they know the truth about Genevieve Nnaji: Her pictures are also used by scammers in Advance Fee Fraud and on dating sites. She is in no way connected to these scams. The scammers use her pictures without her permission. The Franca Yormie and Rosemary Beko stories are examples of such scams.

Her manager says they are aware. But they cannot control everything about her image being misused.
Well nobody can pretend to be Julia Roberts.
The more people are informed the better.

Lauryn girl, R You so mean ,or just being so jealous of her success. Don't be saying that. It's very unfair and perhaps you don't know what your own ass will get. That was really a shame for you to be happy for her being fallen into such a mess.You need to stop that 'because we are all human.You ain't know what tomorrow is going to bring.

Her photograph was used not because she is Genevieve but because she's pretty! There are thousands of others on the net, most of them, people we don't know. The so-called yahoo-yahoo boys in Lagos are behind this. That's one of the reasons EFCC operatives now raid internet cafés. The genuine internet cafés have posters from EFCC warning customers on the implications of using their facilities to perpetuate 419. In some areas in Lagos if you are found with a flash disk, you would be arrested until the content of the flash disk is ascertained. That's naija for us all

@ Edygirl This has nothin to do with being mean or jealous, worse things happen to people everyday, i do not know her, so i care less, it doesnt mean i'm happy that she's been scammed. I know we r all humans, y worry about tomorrow, today, when tomorrow comes, we'll deal with it.

Will a scammer use his/her real picture? No one should think the pic is real after they've been scammed.

lauryn, It wasn't fair for you to say, 'that's what her ass gets since she wants to be famous'. I mean think about that. I don't know her either but that shouldn't give me the mind to say that she deserves it because she doesn't. I am sorry , but that was my opinion.

@ Edygirl That doesnt mean she deserved what she got, but the point is that she got it, so she needs to start dealin with the situation instead of feeling sad for her self, i mean celebs get into situations all the time.

Yes. Fame can be abused and misused.
The agency representing Genevieve Nnaji should address this problem.
419 is not a laughing matter. Because some unfortuante victims have been killed by the 419 Mafia.
Her agency should publish an international press statement and display all the samples of the abused photographs.
Genevieve should also denounce it on her website.
If an American from the deep south falls for this scam and he turns out to be one mean guy, he can go after the person in the picture. And only God can save Genevieve if the racists get to hear that one of their own was conned.
Her agency must face the challenges of managing her reputation locally and internationally.
Saying they are aware is not the solution.
What are they doing about it? That is the question.

Celebrities around the world are prone to identity theft crimes.
A Sacramento, California man used Tiger Wood's Social Security number and got a driver's license and charged $17,000 worth of luxury goods in the golfer's name, despite the fact he looks nothing like Woods. Before some of you start thinking, the guy wasn't Naija. I confirmed.

This is a total fabrication. It never happend. Also, earlier, someone mentioned that genuine cafe's post warnings against illegal activity - well guess what, the bad ones do that as well. 419 scammers are not vampires who are burned by the cross, i'm sure they know that if they post such messages, it only makes it harder to determine where they are operating. There are many articles similar to this one: http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,53818,00.html interviewing such people.
