Bro If You're really serious about getting the guy and not just some leave him to God kind of people, you can still get him. I hate scammers and the bad names they give to hard working Nigerians.

I've checked out the site and the guy is truly a Nigerian but using a fake name, You can report him to his Hosting company that the site is being used for fraudulent activities and they'll take the site down( they can even help you track him). To be honest, the site doesn't really look like a clone of the original one, but it still looks shady. I don't know if you're a tech guy but there's a simple way u can get his info like the pic below. The guy is a really foolish guy that can't even hide his tracks (Ps: i blurred out some of the info)

Please can you help me with that phone number and the blurred parts? An investigation is already on but I need all I can get too. Tanks.

I've been scammed several times just because I like helping others.
I met a young boy on fb claiming he is an ophan and needed help from me to pay his school fees in Naija. The boy blocked me after sending him 80k. Na den I know say na scam.
I was lucky he blocked me because because if he had asked more money from me I would have continued helping him.


I know u had a bad experience b4 but please can u assist me in recording 2 songs for a music competition? I got great songs but no money to record them in a quality studio... To be sure am telling the truth , you could even pay for the recording sessions yourself and call me to come record it in whatever studio you choose..... See I believe so much in my talent and am gonna pay u back ten fold for this.... Just help me record these 2 songs so I can secure this record deal

Please reply if you are willing to help reply me and ignore if u aren't... Either way God bless you and your family

your kindness is commendable.

it's not like I need help, or I'm going to die. But you'll do my world/life/career a lot of good if you can extend your milk of kindness to me.
And yes I'm a university student. And yes my account balance is less than lala's jamb score!

You are a really good person. I'd like to be friends with you... I don't need anything from you. I just want to be friends with a good person. I checked your profile so I think it's important to mention that I am a Christian. I don't wanna drop my phone number here but if there is any other way to go about it....

Tracyomo, Mother Christmas, wehdone má. Imagine how people are trooping to get help from you. You should start a charity organization or assist MMM to pay their debtors.
But how are we sure you are not trying to scam people with your gist too. Cos some scams actually start like that.

I've been scammed severely than I can recall, not because I'm greedy but because i trust people too much....

Now i wonder if I can succeed as a business man, because my boss always say and I quote "Business is done on distrust. If u trust everyone that comes your way, u are bound to fail"

The only set of people I don't trust is women. I'm sorry

God help me
the same thing that affect me till now,for instance, some friends will come I need these I need that without finding out if it is true or not Nigerians can lie with confidence just to collect from someone for that moment.

Have you ever, in one time of your life, been duped by known or unknown person(s)? Share your experience so others could learn.


Mine:
I met this guy on Facebook who claimed he could run admission stuff for me. As a credulous human being, i believed he could. We eventually became online friends and started chatting on whatsapp. He shared me with some of the people he had successfully gotten the admission for. I didn't know they were his accomplices. They played the game so well that i was made to pay 20000 upfront and 30000 would be paid after the admission is secured. After i made the payment, they stayed online for few days and gone thereafter. I was blocked on whatsapp by all of then and they wouldn't pick my calls again. That was in 2009 though.

Share yours!

But there wasn't anything like whatsapp as at that time 2009. If u had mentioned any other social media, I'd have believed you.

I have been scammed 12 good times; all by my supposed friends but I swore the 12th one would be the last because that wrecked me completely and I had to start from square one. 2014, One uche from arochuku abia state (who I have rendered financial assistance to uncountable times even when it was not convenient for me) told me he had a BLCO mandate and that he needs about 10 million to facilitate his first trade and promised to pay back any willing investor with interest within 2 weeks. Later on he begged and offered me 30% share of the profit realised from the trade if I can help him source for the funds to facilitate the trade. I thought it was a genuine offer, so I took it upon myself and took him to about three banks where I have friends but they were skeptical about the whole idea and I was even warned that it was a scam but I was hell bent on helping him out of poverty. About that period, I got my US green card and I decided to sell my property on chevron drive lekki so I can give him the money hoping I will get my money back within two weeks as he initially promised. I even gave him my car, a 2005 Honda end of discussion with the hope that it will encourage him to put in everything he has to make the business work in my absence. Behold immediately I touched the US, he transferred the 1o million naira I gave him from the company account we opened into his private account and that was it. The rest is now history, he completely changed and refused to tell me what he did with the money. All he could say when I asked his for my money was "please be patient I will pay you". March 2017 made it the third year and I hear he is back to his poverty stricken lifestyle. He has even sold the car I gave him and now go about on foot. I wanted to get him arrested when I found out he scammed me but I thought about the good times we had when I was in nigeria, his wife and kids and i decided to let it go. One thing is for sure, I will never again in my life have any financial dealings with anybody from Nigeria and the east in particular because all they want is to steal your money. Who knows, he could have poisoned me If I was still in nigeria so he can have the company to himself. He knows he will never in his life meet anybody like me again, and he will remain in poverty until he dies.

Thanks a lot my brother. It was God that saved me from depression as I never for once thought that it would be another scam because I told him about my past experiences with friends and he vowed that this is completely different. And another thing is, he is over ten years older than me so I saw him both as a friend and mentor because he appeared to be a very sound person with vast business ideas. He also lied to me that his son was born on the same day as me and to be honest, he got me with that lie because afterwards I became attached to his family thinking our meeting was ordained by God not knowing I just swallowed his bait. But it is all good.
