again i repeat, there are intelligent ones but they are few, i mean very very very very very very very few. the vast majority are only well motivated but lacking in intelligence (i mean they are not geniuses). why do you think this boys always move in large groups? it is not just because they need each other, it is because most of them are excess luggage, they hang around the intelligent ones so that those ones can put them through. . i know how the game goes since the days of cyber cafes in the early 2000s. boys go gather sleep for cafe, most of them na olodo. dem just need format and pesin to dey put them through, dem no get one kobo of sense. unfortunately even maga sef plenty wey no get high iq or wey dey too desperate for love or opportunity. problem be say una just dey scam this people, una no know sey this people sef dey desperate, so dem dey find miracle. you show with small lamba, dem don think say god wan use you answer their prayer, na so dem dey take fall. no be say yahoo boys wise like that o

by Yahoo boys, i mean the Nigerian Internet Fruadsters.


1. MYTH: The are very intelligent
Fact : Most of them have average or low IQ

It is popular accepted that "yahoo boys" are very smart, so much so that people would say, "why dont they use their intelligence for better things?" the truth of the matter is these guys are not as smart as you imagine. Most of them are actually less intelligenthan entrepreneurs and working class people who have to be innovative, book smart and street smart to make it.
What people dont know is that Yahoo boys only follow what they call a "FORMAT" meaning everything is already laid out, somebody intelligent comes up with this format and he teaches others. There are different Formats, Romance, Alibaba, Credit Card Loading, tax return, car wrap, Come-and-carry, etc. you dont have to be smart to follow any of these formats. Hushpuppy is a proof of how unintelligent even successful Yahoo boys are. he was using his direct (personal) line and personal email address to communicate with his clients and associates with lots of incriminating materials in his personal email and personal phone line. without these, the FBI would not be able to prove he was a fraudster.
so stop respecting these guys, they are not intelligent.

2. MYTH : They can hack
Truth : 99.9% of them dont know anything about hacking
To be considered an hacker, you must actually know how front and backend program interfaces work, then be able to exploit weaknesses, bugs or loopholes in how the program is scripted. This means you must be able to understand programming languages, able to access source codes, able to build tools "executable files" that would compromise target scripts. Trust me all these boys shouting "hacking" up and down your street cannot even write a "Hello World" script in any program. in fact most of them dont even know what i mean by "hello world" because they know NOTHING about how computers or computer programs work, talkless of being able to hack.
most times you read news about some local boys hacking bank systems etc, it is all rubbish. for them to gain access to your credit card or bank information, they use basic tricks to actually steal the information from you through "social engineering" - calling you and asking you questions pretending to be from the bank or just getting basic information about you such as your Date of birth, place of birth, your schooling information and they can use these to "recover" your accounts. Dont be afraid, they cannot hack anything, they are posers and only rely on your carelessness to steal your account information.

NOTE: there are hackers, but these guys are very rare. they are 1 in 10,000 fraudsters you will meet.

3. MYTH : They are successful because of JUJU "Yahoo Plus"
Truth : the Juju is psychological
Most Nigerians already believe that boys claiming to be into yahoo are actually into JUJU. this is a big lie they want you to believe. There is no Yahoo boy that gets a kobo without "working" for it. Yahoo Plus or Not all boys have to hustle to make the money. they have to lie, they have to bomb, they have to follow up. Juju only gives them moral. It is true that most successful ones are into juju, but not because the juju makes them successful, it is because it takes a desperate and highly motivated person to go into juju. They are into Juju (yahoo plus) because they are desperate, highly motivated and focused on their Yahoo career, because of these they are more successful than the other boys that are just freelancing and not so desperate, hence people are mislead to think they are successful because of the JUJU.
Secondly, JUJU is a fraternity thing for Yahoo Boys. if you are in a fraternity, you are more likely to pull big scams because you know your guys would not betray you because they fear the JUJU bond between them. if you have a picker for example that is not in your fraternity, it is likely he would run away with your money, hence the juju part comes to play for the big time scammers.

here is an article by the Guardian Newspaper titled[b] Ritual does not give us money, Yahoo Plus boys confess[/b] https://guardian.ng/features/ritual-does-not-give-us-money-yahoo-plus-boys-confess/


4. MYTH : Only greedy people fall for their scams
TRUTH : Majority fall because they are trusting and not because they are greedy
while it is true that greed can make people fall for cheap scams, truth me; majority of victims were not victims because of greed, but because of trust. when you are a trustworthy person, you tend to trust other people easily and this makes you vulnerable to exploitation and that is what these boys do. they exploit people who trust them. Stop mocking people who are victims of scams, because most times it shows they are good people who trust easily.

5. MYTH : Only gullible people fall for their scams
TRUTH : Everyone is gullible, experience is what most victims lack.
i mean it, EVERY DAMN PERSON ON EARTH CAN BE SCAMMED. i have an uncle who is a lawyer, he would boast that no body can every scam him, yet he is one of the most scammed person i have ever met in my life. this man gets scammed by everyone around him. he was scammed so much that his mechanic made him spend over N1.3 million to repair a fault that would have cost him only N120k to fix. His electrician collected over N200k to just fix his meter (nothing was wrong with the meter). There is no human that has ever lived that cannot be scammed, that you know how some scammers work, does not mean you know everything, you only know what your experience or experience of other people teaches you, when something new comes up, that fits your fancy or need, you will fall for the scam
Omo juju they work for them Wella, there is one Yahoo boy that stay on my street here in ibadan, he showed use a video of his client crying and begging him that when ever he refuse to send the Yahoo boy money, an invisible being will start flogging him until he sends the money, like there juju dey work Wella different story that I have heard

Everything you wrote is absolutely correct. Just last night i had to correct someone's impression that all yahoo boys are talented computer science gurus.

Most only know how to use a phone and email, while a very few know how to design a website, which everyone and their dog can do these days, with services like Squarespace making it even easier.

They're nothing but lazy scammers with a phone and email.

You sound like an utterly helpless idiot with a phobia for your social and intellectual betters.

It's no one's fault you're from an undistinguished stock steeped in penury. Of course, that state of affairs explains the arrogance of your ignorance because donkeys can be obstinate.

Believe in your nonsensical juju all you wish, but don't hate people simply because they've more advantages than you could ever have.

Laziness, hatred, and ignorance is a potently dangerous combination, sadly you're acutely afflicted by all three.

OP, I swear you talk true, most yahoo boys are super, I mean super dumb. Na so dem just dey shout format! format!, for my mind I think say na one brain draining moves, not until one share him stupid dating format with me and I was like I can even come up with something far better.

As far as you be computer savvy and intelligent person, you can create you own format and cash out pass street boys. To chat with oyinbo sef na format for these guys (just imagine). Na so another one dey shout say him be hacker and according to my findings na just simple programming codes him dey use brag.

No be say I dey brag but if I want to become yahoo boy, I don't think I'll need to be telling somebody "boss I dey loyal" to do so, but I'll rather stick to freelance for now.

The number 1 on this list is the truest of all. THEY ARE NOT SMART AT ALL. If they were smart they would not be showing off after a hit, and they would establish businesses to use as "cover" to launder their money.

The idiots also call attention to themselves by their appearance and lousy ways (loud music, big parties, living large without any apparent source of income). These make them easy targets for the equally daft (in)security units in Nigeria.
