I published a new book on Amazon. Then I decided to post it on a Facebook group for exposure. The suddenly I started getting friend request from the foreigners mostly female how say they are professional marketer and that they can help me boost the visibility of my book on a price.

So my question is, have anyone encountered them before?
Are they scammers or real?

They are mostly scammers, I don't have much to say.


Seun add the remaining characters.

What do I even post now?....Tinubu government be dealing with us here in d north....

If you're comfortable sharing, how are you feeling about everything?

You are getting messages from your fellow Nigerian men. They are scammers.

Give them a purchase unique link and tell them you'll pay via commissions. Most will run.

They are scammers. They are mostly female because they know people tend to trust ladies more. That person pretending to be female is male

All the people showing interest in this are lodged in hotels here in 9ja. Na confirmed scammers them be.

Ignore anyone who tells you that they are scammers. If anyone tells you that they can do it for you, ask them for proof that they have done it before.

What book did you promote in the past? What was the result? Share the link so I can independently contact the author and form my opinion.

I work online 24/7 and have a book on Amazon too. There are many genuine hustlers on the internet

They are mostly scammers scattered all over the major cities in Nigeria.

A little research on the Facebook profiles and you will get your answer. If the profile have just one or two pictures, with no decent recent posts, then your fellow naija guys are on the beat!

They are just doing their own marketing hustle, most of them are not scammers

The only sensible comment here! Many people here assume others are scammers just because many of them are scammers themselves.

Truly give the applicants the opportunity to prove their competence by asking them to showcase their antecedents on similar projects. Then, never make any payments upfront. Do commission based business and reward milestones. This will propel them to want to impress you, especially when they know that their earnings is performance based.

What of another notorious nairaland technology section scammer called Psalms that has run away with over N5 million naira of various innocent nairalanders hard earned cash

Bigger issue is how a certain moderator (former) was siding and hiding him while banning the innocent victims all through the ordeal as they called him out even hiding and deleting their wailing threads just because of familiarity

You should correct your own English before correcting others. No one is above mistake.

Theu bots not humans. Some thing with websites. If you registered your site with google l. They will statt spamming you. That they can help you with better site design then what you have and better online presence

At SEO. They are not scammers. Just hustlers mainly from south asia especially Indians. They can actually help you to popularized it through many means but the outcome cannot be guaranteed that’s what think.

They usually used cheaper means to advertise your platform. Like spambots and email marketing

Tell the person to fly to Nigeria
That you want to give her sole ownership of the book 😁

They are scammers. Normally, a Nigerian Facebook account is hardly visible to real White people accounts. So those so-called foreigners are actually your Nigerian brothers.

Hmmmmm... An undercover in criminal strategies 🤔 Very ridiculous.

After sending the OP a message with his Stephanie account, he will pour sniper into the corners of the dirty mattress to bath his friendly bedbug companions, and then afterwards he will login to Nairaland, likely the Romance section to lecture men about the rules of being an Alfa Mail

They are agents Vanity Publishers.

They will promise how they will make your book a best seller, cinematically edited for the global audience and publication in 1 billion bookstores and online bookstores. They will also pretend your royalties will make you richer than Elon Musk when it starts coming in, and so you will cover the cost you paid them...etc.

But, all na wash. They're scammers. Your money is what they're after.

laugh wan kill me abeg. Nigerians are rare species.

No,

But we can't be sure until you give them some money. Please give them let's see.
