Nigeria as a country is not
economically stable; due to the economic instability of Nigeria scamming has
become the order of the day.
One of the most expensive crimes
carried out by Nigerians today is fraud. It’s one of the crimes endured by
people every year. It’s hard to escape, because scammers will find you anywhere
on the internet, at the car dealership and certainly in the streets.
This article will show you the causes and
different ways Nigerians scam people. Scamming in Nigeria is mostly within the
male youths. This activity has tremendously increased within two months due to
the economic situation in Nigerian.
Peer influence has plunged many people
into scamming and fraud. When one sees his mates have made it successfully,
this burning desire of quick wealth enthralls into his system; then the desire
to scam people starts. The activities of successful scammers have a negative
impact by the rapid movement of crime.
Let me show you how a scammer always think
and talks to his peers; ‘’John I will make it in life before you, I will build
houses and buy cars before you’’, in reply I said ‘’ it’s not how you start but how you end
it’’. This is
how they think, how to show their mates that they are the boss. They don’t even
know that this money will not last forever, because that desire that they
worked to earn this money is not there; ‘’it’s just like a gift to them from
another person’s hard work’’. They won’t save it, instead
spend it on thrifty or lavishly
The first and utmost important fact that I
presume one should know about a scammer is that they make tremendous effort to
provide to provide people with what they desire; it can be love, sex, money and
other cool stuff. The number one social media used by scammers is Facebook;
most users involved in this act possess more than one account on Facebook with
fake account details. Scammers create fake male and female account and upload
attractive pictures with cool and attractive personalities. Most of them
provide incomplete details and less information on Facebook with few pictures
on Facebook. They victimized people that have money on Facebook and people that
ready to believe their lies on Facebook. When I asked a scammer one day, why
they do this he replied ‘’ we help those people who don’t know how to spend
their money on Facebook to spend it well’’, can you look at what he said, this
is the way they look at stealing of people’s money on social media. Most of the
victimized countries are those who use dollars and pounds, based on the fact
that when dollars and pounds are converted to naira, the money is pretty big
enough to carry out pretty cool stuff.
Another method used to scam people on
Facebook is the illuminati confraternity. Some Nigerians open profiles on Facebook
named illuminati; based on the fact that they are aware of the fact people
wants to join this confraternity on Facebook they used this method to scam
people, by telling them things by for the initiation ceremony in this
confraternity, although am not a member of illuminati, some one that is
intelligent will know that joining the confraternity is absolutely free for anyone.
So don’t be a victim of this scam used to deceive people.
Most scammers have inputted their
activities into online selling on online selling websites like JUMIA, KONGA, KAYMU,
JIJI, OLX and CHEKKI. I know some folks will be wondering how, but like I said
before ‘’inner desire of people’’. Who in this life don’t want to buy something
for free or at reduced cost online. People are dying for all this kind of stuff
online and all this websites has been infiltrated with scammers. Some examples:
I saw a refurbished INFINITI jeep on chekki.com.ng for 0 naira. So funny, and
immediately I placed an order I was called instantly to pay for it, not only
that, someone placed an HP EXYNOS i7 laptop on kaymu.com for 35000 naira. One
supreme thing one should never do on any of these sites is ‘’payment before
delivery’’.
Last method I have witness on Facebook
is fake job appointment on Facebook. There is no one that will give you a job
appointment on Facebook. Scammers on Facebook make posts on job vacancy available
on companies that don’t exist, click to apply for this job appointment. Since
you and I know the outbreak of unemployment in Nigeria, most people click on it
and provide their details with contact address. When they are called, they are
told to make some payments to given accounts to process their documents and
different kinds of convincing lies.
So for those who are thinking about
scamming, don’t embark on it. It’s absolutely dangerous, if you are caught, you
will be assigned to serve some jail term for fraud. Go to school if you don’t
have the opportunity to go school, start handwork, make your own money, so that
when you spend it, you will be proud of yourself and be contented. Because when
you are contented you will know how to save your money. I hope after reading this,
you will enlightened and also enlighten others, please share this and don’t
