It's a weird example of double think but since Nigeria is so associated with scammers and shiftiness it should scare a smart informed person right away...these are not the people the scammers want to deal with | |

| Sep 14, 2017 at 7:30 | comment | added | HarrisonT | The problem with the idea it's someone from the states is there is a chance a person's being tricked into offering their bank account for the deposit only for them to Western Union the funds overseas later. Think of the scammer working a double con, one for a person to receive free money only to need to send some percent overseas, and the son was scammed the money too. | |
