  • Ever had a Facebook friend get hacked and try to get you to send them money? It's a common trick used by Nigerian scammers. But what happens when I use the same scam against them?
    Let's see if any scammers out there want to take me up on my offer and send me a picture. Find my on Instagram at / pleasantgrn
    The tool I use to grab people's IP address is www.grabify.link

    I am Nigerian and in Nigeria. Just wanted to let you know that for some algorithm issues, most places in Nigeria are either marked "Lagos" or "Abuja" when you try to check up their IP addresses. So your scammer might actually be in Ogbomosho or Ugborikoko and IP's showing Lagos. Hope this helps. Cool job you're doing

      Got a lot of Emails from people saying you inherited money or somebody died without relatives. Send money overseas and the bank would release the funds. Even if the scammers used my name directly, I wouldn't reply. If it's an urgent matter involving members of the family, they can contact me by text or by phone. People who are not your relatives are usually after money and would find all kinds of ways to get you to send $ or extract your personal info so they can access your bank account.

Some people kill humans to get money so that’s why there a lots of scammers in Nigeria and my mom was so happy she left Nigeria.

    I have gotten several of these messages on FB messenger from some of my older "friends". I have fun with them. I messaged one of them for almost 2 hours talking about random things. One asked me to call their agent, and I said, "I'll call as soon as I get out of surgery. I'm in the hospital right now having my vestigial tail removed." They said, "Oh, ok, but don't delay." I also used the same trick of asking how things were in some random town, and they fell for that too. It can be fun messing with them, and like you say, its nice to know you're wasting their time.

    Back when I was a college instructor in the IT field, I used to give a free seminar about how to spot scams like this. We had a lot of older folks attend. I would reach into my briefcase and pull out $85,000 worth of checks and money orders, then pass them out for the class to inspect. The five money orders were the most impressive, they did look realistic. I explained how I collected them and then went through the rest of the lecture on how to spot the scams. I know several older folks who also became "scam check" collectors. The nice thing is that sometimes I would get checks from a Texas bank with stamps from Africa, so I gave the stamps to my kids for their collection.
