Dear All

Point of Correction, you all have to be careful because is not every thing that happened in computer about scammed you will call Nigerians, Do you know that a lot of people used Nigeria name while they are not Nigerians? Singaporeans are scammed people, same as united state and England, why anything happened you guys will start calling Nigerians are you guy stupid? May fire strike you all that called Nigeria bad name to death.

This happened to me once. I got an email from my friend's mom telling me she was stuck somewhere without money. I thought it was weird, so I called my friend and asked if she knew where her mom was. Her mom lives in Denver, my friend lives in Idaho. Her mom was at home in Denver, not...wherever the letter said she was. Needless to say, I trashed the email and sent nothing. Take care with email. If it looks suspect, trash it.

hey,wat makes u feel its a nigerian???????????????????????.

The other scam artist you have to worry about operating on US soil is the Arcade Currency Palace located in West Palm Beach and Tarpon Springs Florida. This company is involved with price fixing and Ponzi scheme con game. The owner of the Arcade Currency Palace lies to the media for free media coverage, so he can use that media coverage like it is some kind of endorsement by the media of the Arcade Currency Palace.

Ahmet Sandikci has lied to government officials and committed perjury in the court under oath in an attempt to cover up his illegal activities. He has attempt to penetrate our political system by making illegal contributions ($4600) to the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton when he is NOT a US citizen.

Seriously? These scammers are getting dumber and dumber. I've baited them a few times myself in the past and forwarded their info to various law enforcement agencies. I cant believe that the scammer couldnt find the mascot of the highschool. I googled "Shawnee Mission Northwest High" and found out their mascot was the cougars in 3 seconds. These guys really are the scum of the earth

This is ridiculous!
The conversation above doesn't indicate the person being a Nigerian. You guys cut the crap!
Am very dissapointed switched.com posted such an article by using false catchy titles.
disgusting!

Usually, the scammers reuse the same name and/or email address. If you simply google the name or email of a suspected spammer, you will likely find others who were victimized by the same individual. Then, let the fun begin! I love messing with these morons - http://www.romancescam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

An important resource which should have been added to this article is 'The Internet Crime Complaint Center' at http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

Please make record of your experience!

Hey.....nothing in the conversation says it's a Nigerian....like Peter said, you could verify and avoid being scammed.
I went to colledge with a couple of Nigerian folks who were great, so let's not generaise. All the stories i've read always involve hackers, the victim being greedy in the first place(some out-of-this-world expectation promised), internet romance, or playing on people's symathy.
I believe all internet (and not just facebook) users should protect thier identity from theft and network carefully.

Switched failed on this one. Nothing in the conversation indicates that the scammer is a Nigerian. Bet you just want more traffic for your website. Why dont you focus on Jewish Ponzi Schemers? Better luck next time. By the way it takes two to tango.

i don't even know where to start from.Peter or whatever you are called,i want to say this an insult to all Nigerians.Nigerians are honest,hardworking and GOD fearing people who inspite of the numerous challenges they face everyday,still strive hard to achieve their goals in an honest manner.There are bad eggs in every country & society(yours inclusive)hence a reasonable & enlightened person(which i believe you are one) should not be biased when issue like this is on the front burner.There is nothing in your text including the purported online conversation to suggest the calvin guy is a nigeria.At least,you should 've let us know why u think he is.This is the highest point of irresponsible journalism practice by you,switched and whoever you represent.
We all belong to different countries that we are proud of,so issues such as this should be well investigated and facts beyond doubt confirmed before draging someone else's country(pride,honour and dignity)in a mud.on behalf of all nigerians,WE DEMAND AN APOLOGY.

I am Nigerian too. I want to say to those other Nigerians here to shut up. You don't need to do any research to know the nationality of the scammer. I receive about 5 e-mails every week about some phoney sweepstakes I've won and guess who sent them, Nigerian scammers. If anyone should apologize here, It should be you for your idiotic and greedy countrymen scamming people of their livelihood. Any idiot knows there are both "bad apples" and "good apples" in every Nation in the world, but if a notorious crime is being committed repeatedly by a group from a particular region, don't get upset when people start making generalization about you based on your nationality. Its a safety precautions in all human being.

I was in Singapore, i asked a Singaporean house Agent to get me an appartment he asked me to deposited some money, i deposited $500usd next day i asked him to give me my money back because the house is far from city, do you know what the agent told me? he can not refund me my money back, it is a good faith deposit, i report the case to the police the police called him and he told the police officer the same thing, when the police officer drop the phone he told me that the deposit is consider as good faith deposit, is that not a fraud? why anything about Nigeria always be the talk of the town? What of America killing the people of Iraq because of their oil? is that not a fraud? what of the British that scammed the Nigeria Oil? that not a Fraud? you all must go to hell one by one those that always called Nigeria bad name
