1. When I see someone signing a document and adding MR in front of his (supposed) name, I hardly ever bother to read the rest of the letter.

2. Secondly, real business letters hardly ever contain the exchange of pleasantries (sending greetings etc).

3. A lot of grammatical or typographic errors.

Once an idiot created a fake immigration web site and put the heading "NIGERIA IMMIGRATE SERVICE" instead of "Nigeria Immigration Services"... Literacy pays. Crime does not.

cammers do not mind if the target/victim is an African, as long as maga pays. So how does scamming an african help bring money back? Back from where? When you wish tot ravel, and your visa request is denied, you cry a river how cruel the westerners are. You, however, never blame the scammers for making western embassies become skeptical whenever a genuine business person applies for a visa, so shut the fvck up.

Posts like yours make me wonder if you are really that daft, criminally minded, or are just pretending to be (both).

Yes, scamming existed since the ancient times. But when I see my own people bringing a bad name to my country, or when Nigerians bring a bad name to Nigeria, Nigeria which I love with all my heart, then I get pissed.

Have they thought about the effect of slave trade and the millions they help our politicians launder in their banks .
Our politicians launder money meant for the masses using your banks , some become untraceable and you use that money to provide amenities for your citizens without guilt of what would happen to the citizens of the looter's country. Well that is the result of accomplice money laundry , your own people too not rest.

Don't jail them in the US.
Try them and transfer them to a Nigerian prison.

One of them that was recently released from a US penitentiary has already secured a contract with a record label, ready to release songs he wrote while serving jail term in the US.

After 5 years in Kri-Kri.... They won't even remember how to boot a computer.

The internet fraud with Nigeria is a result of unemployment and get rich quick syndrome, bearing in mind the societal decadence but the news said US arrested Nigeria national inside Nigeria ! What a joke of a nation are we irrespective of their crimes and it went further a Nigeria was extradited to the USA from UK. There are countless British national who are into cyber crimes, I can't remember the last time one was successfully extradited to the USA, they launch court battle that never finished.
God bless you!!

Lol, are you a Nigerian or an American mugu grin That format is just a bait, there are different types (they are all over the net) but they all promise mouth watering irresistible offer shocked shocked Then the greed in the recipient won't allow them to reason well rather they will be seeing the money as already theirs kiss kiss They will get in touch with the yahoo guys, sorry I mean the phantom minister, CBN Governor, Bank manager
, Director etc and they will forward more documents to the maga who now couldn't believe his or her luck tongue tongue Then they will begin their rip-off at this stage by telling the maga about the need to involve a senior advocate of Nigeria who will assist him here in Nigeria, Ghana, Mali etc.
Then the person who is expected to receive millions of dollars will be the one paying thousands of dollars in order to get his millions cry
Yahoo is really bad because even if those that are cheated were motivated by greed it still does not justify being defrauded.
Again, did they say that those fraudsters were arrested in Nigeria by a foreign country??

If anybody gets swindled even if its in the past as far as theres an account number let them trace the scammer to whatsoever country he is, extradite him and try him.

Let the jail term be a minimum of 10years.

My contention is the US is not ready to battle internet fraud maybe because majority of those engaging in it are not in the country.

Otherwise what will it cost to catch these boys? You think it's by Nord VPN? Smh. They just phish a page and think they are Hackers. Lmao.

The US doesn't just have their time yet. If not in less that a month. Just a month.

You think say Nord na Vpn? Vpn sef nor join. If you know you know.
