Can the bad eggs in Nigeria and bad Nigerians overseas ever leave scamming? These scammers are now adopting the use of google voice numbers to deceive their victims. They send text messages using google voice numbers (mostly US numbers) pretending as if they live in the States or Canada. I ran a quick test with a blackberry advert. On this advert, I listed a blackberry 9810 for a rediculous price of $600 knowing that no one in the States will respond. As someone from Nigeria did respond. This crazy scammer told me that he lives in San Diego, CA and that he was travelling to London the next day. He wanted me to ship this blackberry to his son in Nigeria and that he would pay me $600 plus $100 shipping through paypal.

Below are some items I got from craigslist on peoples thought about Nigerians.

What do you guys ink?

Is it true, there is a School for African to learn how to scam people?
I asked few efriend from Nigeria, they denying it. But almost all Malaysian
say that it was true. I did not watch news much so I didnt follow up on this
kind of issue. I never had Nigerian friend before but because of curiosity
I try to get to know them.

Until now, I dont believe those who i know are bad.

Well the VoIP apps were invented to make communication easier and affordable to everyone. They were not invented to promote scam. Men and women of integrity all over the world use these VoIP apps to call their friends and families all over. People of no integrity use them to promote scam. Sincerely scam limits humans capability in life. This is because you can only hope for hope to come. Time wastage. No continuity. Come once, chop finish and start hoping again.
