I think I will. I even asked him if it was Ebola but he said it wasn't and mentioned West Nile virus. Me I don't know if West Nile virus occured in Nigeria earlier this year so I just kept mute and decided to find out.

The guy is so much in love and part of me feels that this will break his heart and lead him to do something drastic. It's so troubling to me and a part of me just wants to waka far and act like it's not my business but another part is burning with anger at the scammers

Tell him. It will clear your conscience, he is even borrowing money up and down. Gosh! I feel for him already. Please tell him even if he doesn't believe like he is so blinded by love, at least when it happens, he will know he was warned...All these scammers will not know rest sha, scamming someone anyhow without conscience and now he is broke, let him not use his next money to fund another scam story.. Please and please let him know

You no go just go dey your dey, why you won spoil another man hustle, Yahoo is a game and anybody way fall mugu them go chop am, even the world is a game, sorry if you can't play yours well. Be guided

ALEX182:
So I have this American patient who I recently came across. He's a fat dude who is like in his late 40s but has a very jolly and likeable character. I introduced myself and we got talking afterwards.

After a while of chitchat, he asked me where I was from. I told him to take a guess and he said said, you sound like you're Nigerian. I told him (regrettably) that I was Nigerian. He started smiling and told me that he had a Nigerian girlfriend and that we both had similar accents.

He then started telling me recent occurrences that had befallen his girlfriend in Nigeria. He said the lastest story was that she was in Abuja and as she was on her way to the airport in a taxi, the taxi had an accident and she was seriously injured and had to be rushed to the hospital. He said that the hospital demanded money before treatment started and he had to hustle about $4000 and send to her in order for treatment to start.

He said that after a week of her being in the hospital, they wanted to discharge her despite her still being in pain. Because she had exhausted all the $4000 on treatment, he said the hospital had threatened to discharge her on the streets and he was trying to borrow more money to see if he could send it to her so they could continue with her treatments.

He furthermore told me that the girlfriend said that she was a Nigerian American citizen who was currently stuck in Nigeria due to her passport having expired and also due to Covid lockdown at airports in Nigeria. He said she had asked him for $300 to renew her US passport from American embassy in Nigeria.

Another thing that he told me was that just before covid struck, there was a similar pandemic which happened in Nigeria early this year and that his girlfriend had contracted the disease and he had to send her $2000 for treatment. Right now he said he's broke but is waiting for like $2000 disability check from the US government next week which he will send to her as soon as the money clears.

As he was telling me this tale, I was so angry with Nigerians and how they take advantage of people in love to scam them. I wanted to swear for the scammers


I'm at a dilemma here. Do I tell him that he's being scammed by Nigerians or do I continue to be professional and just ignore it. Because I don't want him to think I'm involved with it because these oyinbo people can turn everything on your head and accuse you that is your people in conjunction with you that are scamming him. They are that crazy.

The good part of me wants to help him but I'm hesitant that it may turn out bad for me. Please matured responses.

Telling him will not be enough bro... I feel being a Nigerian puts you ahead of the said scammer bcuz you know the trails already that's why you were able to decode the whole thing from the whole love story. I think helping the dude to ensure the fraudster is nabbed will be the real deal. Tell your patient to ask the lady if she could meet with someone (probably a brother of his that was recently transferred to work at the consulate in Nigeria) at the American embassy in Abuja. Tell him to use that as a bait... That the said brother will facilitate her treatment under his own HMO in one of the top hospitals in Abuja then he will also arrange some cash for her upon her discharge. If the said scammer is bold enough to walk into the embassy, then that should spell the end of the road for her. You guys can take it up from there

There are two things involved
1. He could be testing you knowing that such is a scam just to know how morally upright you are
Or
2. He genuinely is sending cash to a scammer but he's having doubts and needs someone to confirm his fears .
Doing what is right should be your business. If we all took it upon ourselves to make the right thing our business, we wouldn't be in this mess we are in

No, mind your business

Please tell him.

Safe a soul.

I'm a medical student hoping to relocate to the US bro.

My number is: 081 six5 7two zero7 7three. I await for positive response. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I don't chat with anyone outside NL anymore. Thanks

If he is your patient the next day, please tell him. Try salvaging our name in your corner biko. Nigeria is having a very bad reputation here. Imagine trying to do wire transfers to Nigeria for days and all the banks I’ve approached refused, even common wellsfargo.

ALEX182:


My brother, that's why I came here to ask. It crossed my mind that the girlfriend may be genuine. But the way the story started to have K leg, I knew it was a scam.

Which kind of virus was in Nigeria this year before Covid?

Why is it that the day she was about to travel out to return back to US, she suddenly had accident that almost paralyzed her and caused her to stay back and not travel to meet him again. A big coincidence.

Why is it all about money, money, money, money. Send money this, send money that.

Sounds like scam to me Biko.

...this one nah pure scam guy...I get this format self as document for my phone..

If you are regratably a Nigerian,then you are not Nigerian but rather a slave minded individual,a white ass licker,now let me ask you questions,while there mulitilatral and big companies are here scaming Nigeria do you show same petty for the Nigerians,the answer is ovious,the sickness of a black mind is deep they help everybody but themselves,save everybody but themselves,worship everybody but themselves believe in everybody but themselves my advice to you tell him if you want to but to come here to speak nagative of the Nigerian ideninty because of your slave mindedness is stupidity.

With all due respect, Bleep you

I'm trying to save an innocent life here.

I don't care about Multinational corporations. Nigerian leaders are the ones who sell the country to Multinational corporations and allow them free-hand in Nigeria. If the leadership of Nigeria held them accountable, they won't be able to screw Nigeria.

@ALEX182
You don’t go around telling people what to do.
Give your friend a better understanding and description of the situation. Let your friend then make the decision.

Whatever information you give your friend be assured you are ready for the consequences whether if becomes good or bad.

Peace

That 3rd party thing sounds good. I don't want to breach professional grounds but I want to help. I'll reach out to a social worker then. I work with social workers at my job.

Just like someone said out here, put yourself in his shoes. If he were your brother or your friend or relation, what would you do?...

He'll eventually discover one day that he's being scammed, and he would write off ALL Nigerians; but you can change that. You can make him know not all Nigerians are scammers or accessories to scams, you can make him know only a few Nigerians make up those scam rings and you can make him know majority of hardworking Nigerians like yourself aren't happy with the activities of the scammers. Keeping quiet passes the opposite message.
