You have only been lucky. You haven't met true professionals who invest time and money to set up a perfect scam. Anybody can be scammed. Even right now Naija politicians are scamming you!

We all create our own luck!

I have been blessed by God and protected by His wisdom!

Such Divine wisdom and contentment saved or shielded me from

MMM
MBA
ChinMark
Etc...

Naija politicians can only scam me if I allow them... I'm a fan of none of them and follow none!

If you say they are scamming the Nigerian system which I directly subscribe to, then that's a different matter altogether.

Yes. Every one of them. I sourced and got them on Nairaland.
Good.

I also worked with a client I met on Nairaland up till the middle of last year.

Though I'm looking for new clients now.

Yes, some few years ago by one Yoruba guy. He told me to register for Custom recruitment online, which I did, not knowing it is a fake site. I was requested to pay money to continue although the money was small. I paid the money only for the guy to come later and start laughing at me.
I don't think there is any successful Yoruba guy that made it without stealing other people's things or duping people.
you are very right,yorubas are good in online skam.

I remember one skam site few years ago called fortune rabbit.
Na yoruba boys run am that year.

Why should I modify it. I told you what I experienced, you are telling me to modify it. Should I modify the truth?
you don’t have sense because you claimed that you’re not a tribal bigot yet you generalized a whole tribe and called them criminals just because a single person amongst them scammed you .

This is the same way they called all Nigerians criminals because of few of us that scammed them .

You’re dumb and daft . I’m Igbo and I hate to generalize

Another one is this group of people claiming to be custom agents selling impounded cars for cheap, they tell you a 2005 accord goes for 650k and ask you to pay 50k as delivery fee, after paying the 50k you dont hear them again.

They claim to operate from Lagos, Sokoto and Ibadan, beware them are fraud. You all know Nigerian used versions of these cars dont sell at 700k .

Its all a scam, the target is that 50k, these guys are so brazen you will see them on facebook, the like to use titles like Rev, Pastor, Officer.

Dont fall for their tricks, anyone offering a car for sale should have a verifiable location, you cant pay for a car you cant physically see.

Forget the pictures , they re stock pictures.

I sent some crypto coins to +234 912 695 3219 (Miracle Jason Agada), he has since refused to credit the account number I sent to him and refused sending back the coins. Na small money but what if I had sent to him the amount of coins he requested for?

He thinks he is wise but he is not, unless he does not use his number again.

How do one avoid being scammed when trading crypto off the Apps?

I am only speaking from truth and what I have experienced. I am not a tribalistic person. Infact I was born and I still reside in the west.
the Igbo guy that organised the first coup, Chukwuma Nzeogu was born an brought up in Kaduna.
He personally killed Sir, Ahmadu Bello.

I thank God for the wisdom!

If it's too good to be true, it definitely isn't

Same approach to relationships... I trust no one! undecided

Do you know the millions of ibo criminals in Asian prisons?

Or how ibos package fufu as phones for people in computer village

Yet no one is crying about that,
Making up stories cos of the pain of election won't increase the already reduced relevance of the ibos politically

The same Yoruba's that was at the forefront of Obi's campaign, the same Yoruba's that gave most of you a level playing ground.
You can't even perform the rubbish you do here in other region.
The only crime we did was welcoming you people, believing in one Nigeria, fostering peace and unity,I know the election had loopholes, but calling us names is plain insane.
You are no better than him.

How did you know he's an Igbo?

Rubbish!

It was on Facebook I got scammed by the much followed "Anonymous". He promised to send some fixed football games unknowingly to me that it was the way he scams Nigerians because of our greed for quick riches. I sent close to half a million to him through one of his agent an Igbo guy and that's how he blocked me and till today no pim from him.


This is the same Anonymous preaching equity on Facebook and giving fake predictions about Nigerian politics. He's fake, pls never deal with him cuz he's faceless.

I saw of recent from a friend where the same Anonymous is predicting that Peter Obi would win the presidential election.

He's a fraud and I highly recommend that anyone should stay clear of his channels.
