It takes one to catch one. Each has his area of specialization.

Now had it been an online romance scam or an advanced fee fraud, a Nigerian would have been best placed to save the old woman.


Hahaha... So true. Either ways, nothing like hard work. I wish all those knew they could even earn more from their smartness

You're just being ignorant. Look up the facts and stop displaying childishness. If you don't have anything to say, please keep quiet.

Don't mind those ones jare. Just trying to school Nigerians so they don't think everything is done by Nigerians alone. The world has already demonized us, it's worse when we do it to ourselves.

Say only what you know Oga. Naija guys do all sort of work online and Tax refund/IRS are inclusive.

Yes. But it requires more effort. How many exams, courses, seminars, videos and books did you have to undertake before you got to where you are in IT? I'm in finance and simply had to upgrade myself with financial modelling, more advanced finance software and finally data science just to stay relevant; and I know what effort I had to put into it. Would have been much simpler (though I admit, less lucrative) to convince a couple of old widows that I am a US serviceman looking for love. It's a no brainer imagining what choice a 'lazy youth' would take.

Yea well, but scamming has it's own disadvantages as well. Not all of them make money and those who do are always in danger of the law... I believe if you put in 1 year into a particular area of skills development, by the following year, you can start making money if you're entrepreneurial in your approach... Scamming is a very useless thing. It kills people's creativity and makes them believe they can't become anything through legitimate means.

Those who are in kirikiri would understand better. Lol.

Indians are the ones responsible for IRS scams in USA. Plot twist: an Indian man saved the poor woman... God is truly great. cheesy

They typically operate call centers in India and use international phone numbers to call unsuspecting victims. So many videos on YouTube about this.


No one nationality is mainly responsible for IRS scams.... Social Security scams.... Identity theft scams etc . Many of them are US citizens and from various foreign countries. Most prey on the elderly.... especially those in Retirement homes who have no one to monitor their calls. Like soooo many others... the cab driver knows this and I'm not surprised he immediately knows it is a scam. In fact... the call he got from the scammer most likely showed SCAM LIKELY....the reason he began to question the lady. Scammers everywhere.
