Only greedy people get scammed. Even white clients that are scammed, majority if not all, is a result of their greed.

daben1:
the same way I used to think until I almost got scammed

Ade24682:

SQMrProducer:
Yeah greed causes it most of the time but not all the time. Romance scams is a perfect example.

Ade24682:
romance scam is a perfect example of greed, that’s if you know how it works.

SQMrProducer:
So are you saying that the victims of romance scams are greedy?. Please explain

Ade24682:
hehehehe. I have heard of format where the lover tells the lady he wants to send her billions of dollar for her to keep for them, but customs held the money. So she has to pay for them to release the money.
I could go on and on, on how most romance scam are greed related. but such forum isn’t ideal for it.

SQMrProducer:
I get you but don't you think that's deceit

Ade24682:
every scam entails deceit. Let’s assume an average man ask them for money they won’t give. But hearing your millions of dollar is coming to them they definitely will want to give you what you ask. That’s why it’s called greed.

10 yrs ago when I was writing waec
My aunt gave me 4500 to help her buy a Nokia torchlight phone , my dad gave me 3500 to buy foodstuffs that I will be taking back to school, I had my own Nokia 1616 still new .

After I had bought my aunts phone, I went to buy foodstuffs and there I met these guys playing card.
Put 1k to win a screen touch phone. Na so I de put till my money gbes
They told me to put my phone and get my money back, I put phone, both the sim and all gone.
I sat down there sweating ,the old market women there were just saying ,ah small boy u go follow this 419 people play game. Sorry o.
I couldn't cry, I left home and told my parents that I lost my phone and the money when I went to buy foodstuffs.

My dad said ,this is not ordinary, that my mom should escort me to see a prophetess. We went there and the woman said that ogbanje spirit is after me,that we nerd to bring 15k for spiritual cleansing, all these while I never said a word right from home. Las las my dad said the woman is a scam, that I should have told her she is the ogbanje herself.
Bitter experience thou

This your story na joke to crack up

Starboytwo:
Ok here's my first 419 experience...

It was around 2010 or so, was still in secondary school and I saw a text message on my mum's phone saying I won a washing machine, some airtime plus some other freebies, I should quickly call one(attached)number to claim prize...

I saw the message had a different number from the text number, but I called and I spoke with one man, he told me I had won all the above and I was truly happy.. However I will have to send him 1000 glo airtime and automatically my acct balance will be credited with 63,000...

I went to my mum, and asked to borrow 1k, she had heard some of the conversation and repeatedly warned me that they were 419...

I be like, naaa it's not maa, you don't know bout this things yo! Back and forth, but she nor gree gimme 1k... Later i went to my neighbor and borrow 1k(on my mother's name) shaybi i will collect prize it will shock her

I send card and I waited, immediately something inside my head click wait, so I load card on my mother's phone, Dem don load am... So I called

Me - erm, hello, Mr tunde, I have yet to receive the balance, nd how I'm I getting the prizes, especially washing machine etc

Scammer- oh, yes he's got it, that they are working on it, he's in a meeting and he would call me as soon as he's through

Me- hmm, meeting I knew things were beginning to "go throwing"

An few minutes later, I called again, it ranged for a while then he picked

Me - hello Mr Tunde, blah blah blah

Scammer- oga, how far.

The moment I heard the word "oga" I came to the realization say "things don set" .

I actually thanked him, even though I told him I suppose swear for an, this "early moh moh"but I thanked him anyway and he hunged up...

I got back in and I saw my mum and my neighbor talking they both said congratulations... I didn't know how they figured out as I haven't said anything, na so slap just dey enter my head hook, line, sinker everything...
