I once saw a guy with a large dump of mobile phone numbers. You know what this guy was doing?
He'll copy a phone number and paste it into facebook search bar. Then most likely a profile will pop out. I knew he's going to scam people with stuffs like that

Dude I think everything you're saying is false because PayPal allows every country including Nigeria to send and receive money

Stop saying what you don't know. What OP said is very correct. Thanks to yahoo boiz most of such companies ban Nigerian users.

In fact it was only recently paypal included us among those list, but it's only personal acc, ie, you can only send but not receive. Even at that it's not all of our cards that will work.

For everyone out there who is fond of praising yahoo boys or saying things like “they’re just trying to recover our stolen wealth from white people”, I pity you and pray you never fall victim to a yahoo boy in your life because that’s when you will feel the gravity of pain and agony those guys have inflicted on innocent unsuspecting victims.


They are scavengers and ready to scam anyone who falls into their fraudulent schemes whether white man or black man, old or young, rich or poor, educated or illiterate. No one is completely safe and immune to the activities of yahoo boys and they keep innovating new strategies to defraud people of their hard earned money.

They have ruined lives, destroyed homes, inflicted pains and severely tainted our image as a country. Deny legitimate hard working people many opportunities because the world has lost trust in anyone called a Nigerian. It breaks my heart to hear people asking why law enforcement officers are arresting these people and I ask such people. “Is it until they scam your father of his retirement savings that you will condemn this evil that has so plagued our country and tarnished our image in the worst possible way?”


Well said, what do you think is the solution to all these? If people still go into kidnapping and robbery despite the Death penalty do you think yahoo will ever end? People are been kidnapped everyday the country is getting more insecure each passing day despite all effort.
We should focus on the politicians leading people to evil. Just yesterday they added 23 billion to their no-one is saying about it. Do you know how far that money can go? How many lives it'll take out of the streets?
The energy we put on yahoo boys it's not worth it.
The politicians should be feeling the heat. Let the Government just try and employ half of the youth and see if yahoo won't reduce. Imagine people mining skull for 5k do you think if those guys have a job of 50k they'll go into it?.. Very soon yahoo boys will turn on Armed robbers just like the old days. And we'll see the full wrath. Since we pretend and shy away from the real deal

I think there should be an enlightent program, where cybersecurity experts can come in to educate us on how to protect ourselves from criminals online.
Just a thread here would do to. Enough of this menace. It's not like they use the money to do good sef.
I was even thinking of writing a comprehensive article on how they work, but a bit of a bad writer couple with laziness to write

Just hearing of cashapp for the first time....I wouldn't subscribe to all those fly by night applications. If it is not regulated by any financial standard Authority, pls regard it as scam

I have a friend who operates a Kenyan paypal account. Very honest guy just that they charge 20% of the money as commission. Its still better than being scammed by the likes of skrill and others

Techcapon all you have to do is open a foreign paypal and operate it uding vpn

Then he messaged me with the killer message to sent my VISA DEBIT CARD details. Including expiring date and CVV2 so they can synchronize it my account and I will be able to withdraw my funds. Either they were so professional and had earned my trust or I was under some sort of spell I can’t tell but I went straight to my wallet, brought out my ACCESS BANK DEBIT CARD and gave them every single detail on the card.


Before you think I’m stupid or crazy for giving away my card details I want you to understand something. I also use PAYONEER to receive funds from Fiverr and the moment you create an account with Payoneer, you are given a Mastercard. Then you’re required to activate the card with your card details on your Payoneer dashboard before you can make withdrawals. I thought it was the same procedure used by Skrill and being familiar with this process I quickly gave them my card details.


IMMEDIATELY I dropped my ATM CARD details in their DM, they blocked me on Twitter. INSTANTLY, I knew I was being SCAMMED. Blocking me immediately was the mistake they did because by blocking me, they had alerted me to the fact that they were Yahoo boys. Using my registered SIM linked to my account. I quickly sent a text message to my bank to block my card. Immediately, I sent CARDSOFF to 30811. With the SPEED OF LIGHT, Access bank blocked the card automatically saving me from being the latest victim of Yahoo boys. The time was 5:17 PM when banks would have closed for the day.


Still not convinced, I called the customer care number and was surprised at how quickly they responded to my call. Then they guy confirmed that the card has already been blocked and asked if I wanted him to apply for another card for me I said yes. He applied for another card for me and told me when to pick up the new card at my branch. Then in order to confirm if actually, my bank balance was still intact, I decided to recharge my phone through my bank and then I received a debit alert and that was when I knew my account was intact and I had won the battle.
That was very close.....how far with skrill money, did you finally give up chasing it

Honestly guys ,when they begin to die one by one they will stop this nonsense of defrauding people. Defrauding anyone,whether black man or white man is not good. But defrauding an African, A Nigeria especially can be so disastrous. A white man can let go, not all Nigerians can let go when you defraud them. They are bitter and can go to any length to get revenge, I am talking from real life experience. I know a fraudster that lost his whole children, he couldn't complain because the works of his hands are not clean. Na jungle justice fit these Yahoo boys,
