If you are looking for ways to protect yourself from getting scammed by a Nigerian fraudster, you are on the right page and reading the right post. Let’s face it, everyone says Nigerians are scammers but no ask those getting scammed what they were thinking like Dr. Phil usually ask. While it is true that some Nigerians are scammers, in most cases, there are no victims. The so-called victim is either an accomplice, a greedy thief, or a very foolish person.
While these Nigerians can be termed criminals, there is no exception to those being scammed. They are also criminals and greedy people who want to reap where they did not sow.
Now, there is an exception to this reasoning, if someone got hold of your bank and credit card information and steal from you, you are a hundred percent a victim. And these people are big-time criminals. Also, if someone steals your identity and uses to it apply for loans are other kinds of fraudulent activities, they are big-time criminal and deserved to be locked up in jail where they belong.
But if you fall under one of the following categories, you and your Nigerian scammers are criminals. In reality, you are either an accomplice or a lazy greedy person who wants easy money that you did not work for. And only a lowlife thief does that.
If a Nigerian send you an email telling you, you won a lottery you knew you never played and you are interested in really getting paid, you are a greedy thief. I mean, it’s like wanting to receive a salary from a company that is not your employer nor never contracted any job to you. If you simply go ahead and start sending them money to get you the millions you were told you won, then you’re a thief and a fool.
If a Nigerian send you a letter or an email and tell you he has some millions he/she inherited from his cousin. Or that, a wealthy personality died and left some millions in a hidden account and they want to pay you a commission if you lease your account to them to transfer the money to and you agreed, then you are equally a thief, a scammer and an accomplice of your so-called Nigerian scammer.

If you meet a Nigerian online and you start sending him money because he tells you he loves you and wants to be with you, you are simply a foolish person. Like seriously? Why would you send money to a total stranger? Yes, he is a stranger because you have never met or spent time with him. I can hear you say you have shared pictures, but what makes you think they are his pictures. What makes you think anything they tell you about themselves is true? Have you heard of the word stolen identity in your life? People taking other people’s photos and pretending to be them or creating a profile and personality of someone that does not exist? FOOLISHNESS!
And seriously, how can people keep on falling for these Nigerian scams, whether on TV, on the net, word of mouth, almost everyone has heard about it.
Anybody can tell you anything you want to hear, show you any photos they want to, and tell you they are from a royal or very wealthy family. At least, if you want to spend your money on someone, make sure you have met them a few times. Of course, that will not stop them from using you and your money, but you’ll know who you’re dealing with. Not some random stranger that you’ll not recognize if you happen to bump into them tomorrow.
Getting scammed by Nigerian or other scammers from around the world is something that can change someone’s life in a negative way and even lead to depression and suicide. Be wise, there are lots of victims on the internet, but sending money to strangers for most of the reasons listed above is pure greed, greed, greed, and more greed laced with extreme foolishness.
