This is spreading like wild fire among the youths and even the girls are now getting involved. The nigerian image has already been badly injured and allowing this syndrome to inflict more injury would be placing a curse on ourselves. Foreigners no longer feel convenient chatting with us. this ought not to be so.Even if it takes the EFCC to plant its official in every cafe, I dont think its too much a sacrifice for the Nigerian Image. Or what do you think?

Spray them with pesticide

y do you want to chat with foreigners eh?

i don't know how we can curb it.

But if people stop being too gullible and greedy, this yahoo boys would have found some other means of scamming.
So maybe people should be educated on how not to be greedy or plan on reaping where they did not sow.

No Blame IBB, he rendered all those youths jobless

It is easy if the country is serious:

1. Government should provide jobs to the jobless, just as it is finally doing in the Niger Delta region

2. Let the authorities be serious about identifying who is and who is not a Nigeria. This current National ID Card is a charade; we need a serious security code and human identification and forensic database (very easy, if the government is honest.

3. Introduce a Cashless society: make a law that a certain amount should not be carried cash. Platic moneies & cards should be encouraged as alternatives. It is most painful that a few months ago, the CBN (of all people) instructed all the banks in Nigeria to dismantle their ATMs mounted outside their bank premises. Whatever reason behind it!!!! It is seen to be anti-crime fighting.

4. Sincere efforts should be made in the area of security: mount CCTVs and other security and surveillance equipment in strategic areas.

5. (4) above means that there must be a steady supply of electricity. Luckily, there are UPS, Inverters and Solar energy

6. The Nigeria Police, EFCC and relevant authorities must be sincere in the resolve to stamp out crime and corruption.

5. Nigerians should be made to be responsible enough to report such people and cases. People know these criminals; they are our brothers, sisters, relatives, friends and neighbours in one way or the other. And the citizens should also be protected when they BLOW THE WHISTLE

6. Every cyber cafe MUST have a CCTV to show who come in and goes out any system. You know this shows date, day and time up to seconds. And can be played back when it is discovered that a fruadulent mail went out from a particular system. For those with personal internet sevice in their PCs/mobile phones, very easy. KYC process should be intensified from the end of the SERVICE PROVIDER. (KYC means: KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER: a regulatory injunctions for banks and highly sensitive areas to ensure that customers are known very well before transactions are resumed with them).

7. Proper legislation and legal framework: There should be death penalty for such actvities. That is why I like China, and some other Asian nations. You can not sabotage their system and live. They kill you. And that is why their economy continues to grow. Evidence Act must also be in place to nail culprits with text messages and other technological discoveries (This is not yet finalised in Nigeria)

8. Phone number LOCATION IDENTICATION EQUIPMENT: This ensures that criminals are smoked out wheresoever they are calling ffrom. This is world technology today.

There could be more other ways. To say it is not possible is where the problem lies. "IMPOSSIBILITY IS IN THE MIND OF THE WEAK."

Wait until obama succeeds in closing down the internet,,but for scam is going to continue til further notice

EFCC needs you

Why shut them down? They make things interesting, and keep EFCC busy.

Busy doing what?
Doing the scamming themselves?

@poster,
u are a plain idiot.
the truth is that even crusaders are not doing so with genuine reasons.
to u as an idiot, ur problem is that the yahoo boys are preventing u from chatting with foriegners. what are u chatting with them for? scam.
those criminals in aso rock are fighting against yahoo boys because they(yahoo boys) are making the real business of money laundry look like a joke thereby preventing them from having foreigners ready to help them carry our funds out of nigeria.
listen to them, they will tell u not to pay any upfront fees so they are encounging them come and carry our money.
look at the situations in nigeria, power supply, oil industries, educational system, electorial system, judiciary, executie, the police, security, our roads and other infrastructures and u will have nothing to smile about yet public criminals like bode george will serve 2 yrs while a yahoo boy will get 200 yrs. we are a shame and a joke. how far have we gone with this shameless systems? no progress and there will be none until we get a real fighter who will fight with all genuity.

I do not know why we only accept what foreigners brand us. If foreigner brand us as monkeys, we accept and also brand ourselves monkeys and ask how to change our face from looking like monkeys. If CNN brands us fools, we accept it without complains. They branded us all drug peddlers and we gleefully accepted, even though not a puppy of cocaine is grown in Nigeria and we have other countries like Columbia and eastern Europe where drug peddling is a way of life there. Most Nigerians including me had never seen cocaine before.

Now we have been branded fraudster, when the most serious fraud in terms of sophistication and real quantum in monetary terms is committed by western hackers from Europe, America and the far east. Meanwhile nobody brands them a nation of fraudsters. Our yahoo yahoo boys, majority of whom collect a few thousand dollars as advanced fee for some bogus illegal business, or posing as a lover to an emotionally unstable westerner, are small fry in the international fraud business.

I agree with airzzee 100% on how to curb internet fraud.

LOL. Busy chasing Yahoo boys all over Lagos. And also shaking down victims of Yahoo boys for 10% of repatriated funds.
