Ya, those guys are the worst!!

Yes its sad there is always 1 poor soul that falls for it :(

Like 16 years ago, a guy from America fell for the Nigerian Prince Scam and FINALLY saw huge, glaring, red alert, red flag, red alarm signs and wanted to investigate where his money was going. He took a plane to Nigeria to track down his money and ended up being kidnapped in Nigeria! :eek: The American Embassy luckily ended up negotiating for him to be released! :) The guy was like,"I got lucky that the American Embassy negotiated for my release and I was able to be released and go back to America. Please don't fall for Nigerian Prince scams like I did and certainly don't fly to Nigeria to track your money."

Glad he is 0k!!

Glad he is 0k!!

Yep, he got lucky. He's lucky he didn't get MURDERED in Nigeria over them protecting the money he sent them! :eek:

Anyone with any good Sense would not fall for any of that from any country....good grief.

Sounds like that guy had more money than brains

In his defense, this was like 2007 when the Nigerian Prince scam wasn't as well known yet as it is in 2023. LOTS of people have fallen for the Nigerian Prince Scam/419 Scam(419 is the Nigerian Emergency number like 911 is for America. ;) ) But MOST people who fall for the Scam don't fly to Nigeria to track down where their money is going when they FINALLY get red flags after sending the money.

At least he finally got red alert, red flag, red alarms after sending the money and got suspicious and tried to investigate where his money was going by flying to Nigeria. Too bad he didn't get the red alert, red flag, red alarm BEFORE sending the money.
