Nigerian email scams.... Have you got emails about 'becoming rich' that someone in Nigeria or elsewhere sends you "URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL", saying that he is a Manager of some bank and has millions of dollars in account of someone who died which can be transferred to your account if you split the money with him.


Dont fall for it, these are big scams making these scammer millions/billions of dollars. Once your information is received by the scammer all money from the account would be taken out. People have lost their life savings, its so bad and sad... Read this story and check out the video on 20/20 abcnews "title scam artists" and share your thoughts..

heh, i used to work in a call center where the same nigerians called us to do pranks which sometimes actually made them lots of money. they used to call stores and ask them to ship out a box of 20 puppies and things like that, but nobody was ever there to collect the delivery. this was probably the worst case scenario we saw at the job, because it sucks to scam people out of 10,000 spark plugs or erasers, but when it's living puppies....yuck. really horrible:(

Any email offers to make money quick, or use my bank account information are automatically deleted from my email. It does not even make any difference if it comes from an email address I recognize .. these scammers can use other peoples' email addresses too. Also, if the email has an attachment that ends in .exe, it is also automatically deleted, because that is probably a virus or worm, which the hacker hopes to get into my computer to send them my personal information. We have to be very careful of what we open and what we believe from emails.

Ok these guys that send this emails have evil mind and they want to scam,but what about the so called victims? are they all really victims?
when someone mails you and say he has money gotten illegally from the Nigerian oil ministry and he wants to share it with you if you would help him to move it outside the country,should you try at all in anyway to help such person?
well most of those so called victims fall cos they had in mind to help someone to still from his country and when they get their fingers burned then they cry scam,if they had succeeded in that deal would they tell their government how they got the money and pay tax on it?

Seems Nigerian's second name is scam. In all scam they are involved. They are not earning of hard work. Just involved in scam and sending messages to the people for becoming their member.


myLot reputation of 68/100. megaplaza (631)  6 months ago

thats too insultive, to coin a whole nation of about 140 million ppl scam. i am a nigerian and i do scam, in fact i have saved some people from being scammed, and mind you that those victims too are greed cos they wants to share money illegally stolen from nigerian government and in the end, them themselves got scammed, we have great nigerians more than your country. we have philp emeagwali, father of internet, gabriel oyibo, creator of GAGUT theoram.

I have received that kind of email for the umpteenth time already but I was never persuaded to give in. Not too easy to believe them. If they wanted to give their money then why did they have to ask for your accounts and that it must have a certain amount? If they genuinely wanted to give in the first place then why not just send the check to you? One thing in common, it all comes from African coutnries. If they were true, then why not give their money to thousands of starving children in their continent?
