The important sections of Nairaland that are currently suffering most from the activities of scammers and spammers are:
1. Business
2. Investment
3. Technology market
4. Properties
5. Autos

3. Infact, the honest truth is that any section that has to do with exchange of money either by wanting to buy or wanting to sell a product is open to attack by both scammers and spammers.
For spammers, they tend to spam sections with more traffic and this is normal in all social forums.
Some scammers will tell you they offer a service at a ridiculus price and will tell you to click a link to see more or send a message to a certain mobile number or send an email to a certain mail.
Most of these spammers are bloggers who just want to direct traffic to their blogs, so, since they know that nairaland has a lot of traffic, they come there to draw traffic.
4. They are easily identified by the kind of message and info they bring to the forum. They either tell you to click a link, send an email, send a message to a phone number or send a curious message that the reader wants to know more. In any case, the objective is the same; to move you away from the public forum so that they can extort you. You just have to watch it and be careful.
5. My job as a CEO for more than 8 years and leader of company have given me a lot of experience dealing with people. I have had a lot of personal encounters with scammers who probably would call you, disguising as an old friend or send you an email just to obtain information. Therefore, I have guarded myself. How? firstly, I regard every unknown caller or unsolicited mail as scam. I listened with rapt attention to probe every word spoken or sentence written. Its not hard to get especially if you are not greedy.

Good.
