Lol. He says it's just an opinion. It is an armed robber's opinion to go rob. It is the average Nigerian's opinion that it is ok to dump refuse in the streets. It is a Nigerian policeman's opinion it is ok to collect bribe. What are you? 12?
Oh I see u are just a bloody American. I see where ur fu*king ego is coming from. Tell me how was life in America.... When it was the wild west...before n after Independence? U country was full of theifs n u have to protect ur self,just to survive.But u grew to become a super power today. If am not mistaken, America should b abt 200yrs old,u compare that to Nigeria which is just 55yrs old. So Nigeria will get there someday...OK. Am not gonna stand still and allow some idiots fu*k with my life...that's what I mean by opinion. Run along u fu*king g*ay bit*ch

Lol. Only when an incoherent mind is faced with logic, common sense, and the truth, he accuses the person of ego. Smh. So, it is wrong to tell you not to advice someone else to not take the law into their own hands? I guess doing the right thing is same as having too much ego. How do people like you think for God's sake. Were you spawn from the pits of hell? That can be the only explanation.

OP. I feel like the person you did the job for could have still paid you directly using Western Union or other forms of money transfer agencies?

OP didn't know about his friend's predicament before going into the deal with him. it after several emails and texts that the friend responded and told him he is worth only $300 grin

OP has been working unknowingly for his friend. This should be a lesson to everyone ....its not all rosy out there.

An armed robber has the perspective it is ok to go rob people. You have the perspective that is ok to take the law into your own hands. So differentiates you from the armed robber?

the only response to all the messages I sent to him is that even if I report the matter to the police, there is nothing they can do because it is a civil case and he will go ahead to declare bankruptcy and all he owns in the US is a TV which costs about $300.

Please, dear people, what do you suggest I do?
If the reply you got from him
"in which he stated that if you report the matter to the police, there is nothing they can do because it is a civil case and he will go ahead to declare bankruptcy and all he owns in the US is a TV which costs about $300." Is still in your mail you can use it as an evidence to the police n they'll use it against him.

I did a job for someone in the US and gave a friend's US account to receive the money with the plan of opening a domiciliary account here and asking him to transfer the money to it. Over time, the money got to some thousands of dollars with him. I eventually opened the account and sent the details to him so he could help me transfer it. He didn't respond and when I called him he didn't answer the call. I called him several times after that, no response. I sent mails to him, no response. I tried to contact him on Facebook and found out he had deactivated his account. It's been like 6 weeks now and the only response to all the messages I sent to him is that even if I report the matter to the police, there is nothing they can do because it is a civil case and he will go ahead to declare bankruptcy and all he owns in the US is a TV which costs about $300.

I have all necessary details about him but I need to know the right way to go about this. I can push it to a level where he will face some charges due to his travel and work history in the US and may even lose so much but that may not eventually bring back my money.

Please, dear people, what do you suggest I do?
Involve INTERPOL and give them his details,they will take it from there.
Re: Scammed By A Nigerian Friend In The US by bigtt76(f): 4:56pm On Sep 03, 2016
I understand you but then not everybody likes to disclose their worth to others. This may have been the case. The only mistake I would say the guy did was probably to not have asked around for better solution. Besides he was more interested in getting the physical dollar so he thought using a domiciliary account would help out. His friend may have given him an account in debt so as the monies going in, it is canceling out the debt grin

If I were him, I would just get a PayPal account and let the funds chill there before thinking out a way to get it. Abeg OP PM lets start on a clean note cheesy

Lol...What did i say in the beginning? There are millions like you in Nigeria. All it does is prove my point. What is abnormal is normal to millions of you. So why won't birds of the same feathers flock together? It is like trying to tell children something is wrong but you'll get resistance. To most of you, it is ok to take the law into your own hands. In your mind, it is normal.

He would regret the day he became american citizen, hell I would open a new konga in Nigeria on his name... I hate evil people like that. Worst part is that he is IGBO! Don't ask me how I know, I lived abroad for 5 years and IGBO men did me strong things.

I agree. There are lots of people who take the law into their own hands in America. Guess where they are right now? In jail. It is not normal so we send them to prison. No one will ever advice another person to do it. The reason you could suggest publicly that another should take the law in their own hands is because you are lawless and live in a lawless society. It is also normal to you. If you can think it is ok to burn another human being, then beating them up is very much ok. Are you beginning to understand the difference?

Good grief! You call yourself a Christian? You call on the Lord to seek revenge. No wonder so many people are running away from church.
Its not for revenge,read again its a prayer for justice.read psalm94 from your bible,its for justice and the divine name is not the name of an angel of vengeance,google it up.people like you are those that shout "scatter and die" on your enemies in church.did you see any curse in the post? no! its just like pleading a case in court.he is to ask for justice,God may decide to melt out any or no punishment to him but he will surely get a solution to the problem if he does the prayer with faith.

I think you should seek an experienced immigration lawyer's advice. His case can be reported to the US embassy in Nigeria and he could be contacted. I can do something for you. send me email if you have his full address(old or new), full name and US phone number (tayo50cent at gmail dot com). I may not help if you dont have all those.
