Last 2 month my friend told me about this too

Never met a Nigerian overseas on legitimate business.. Not to be racist or anything, and I'm sure there must be loads of them doing legit work and stuff..

Nigeria of course is an OPEC country, with the world's 4th largest oil reserves. But seemingly most of their GDP is comprised of scams and email fraud.

Any plane arriving from Lagos Airport ought to be just returned back there.

I want to puke when I hear Nigerians shouting in English, horrible voices they have.
So how could anybody find them sweet talking

[Chittychangchang]

The second guy had brass balls to enter the police station and try to blag the money back.
Most of these con men use fake farang profiles and pics.

So how could anybody find them sweet talking

the thai women had probably heard tales about the legendary size of black toolage and were distracted into parting with their money by the fantasy of being slipped a length of mandingo meat.

[Chittychangchang]

^That's the case with many Western woman who visit the Gambia and such like.

Online dating site I used had a 'half thai girl' whose profile looked promising. When we started chatting she asked me on the second day that she and her family had now relocated to Ghana

Alarm bells rang and I blocked 'her'
The transcript is somehwere in this forum still, on my online dating thread

[Nicethaiza]

Years ago when I was into that, I had the same experience...wonder if it was the same "woman".

I also had the fake webcam treatment, 'she' asked if we could chat via cam, I opened mine, and on her screen appears a really pretty Thai woman walking about her office, occasionally turning to smile at the camera. About a minute in I realised that our messages weren't in sync with what she was doing in her office, ie. she was across the room with her back to the camera going through a filing cabinet while her message was being typed.

I blocked it. the next day the website posted a message to all members warning of this new style of scam.
So they stick a screen up in front of their cam to make people think it's her....
...and all the while it's an African guy with eyes lit up with $$$$

Ingenious

An idiotically prejudiced position of which you haven't been an early adopter?

How can this be, chinky?

These Nigerians are OK. I have been talking to one on Skype. Turns out he's related to Nigerian royalty and his uncle is president of a bank. Apparently there's an account there belonging to a British oil trader who was killed in a terrorist blast a couple of months ago. Turns out there is 10,000,000 USD in the account and they want to nick it as no one has claimed it.
He asked if I would pose as the dead guy to withdraw the money and transfer it to my overseas account and they'll give me 10%. I have to pay 10,000 usd for transfer fees but it seems fuck all when you consider the return.
I'm going to be flush soon.

Try negotiating a better deal, I bet they crumple.

[Cujo]

You reckon? Better than 10%? OK I'll try.

[Maanaam]

^ Sounds like a good deal, you lucky man.

[Cujo]

Ok I talked to him. He said his uncle agreed to 30%.
That's 3,000,000 USD.
