  • I had someone from Nigeria try to scam me! I offered him the money if he'd take a photo for me but he wouldn't do it. So I held a contest for anyone else that was interested. The results are in this video.
    Many folks in Nigeria struggle to make a living because of the reputation of scammers. I encourage anyone who watches this to work with these guys if you're ever in need of their services. Below is the info for some of them.

      Does it make you feel any better if I tell you that Nigeria is less on our scam radar now than it used to be? Lately India has been a bigger problem. I remember as a child constantly getting the Nigerian prince scam emails... I haven't delt with a Nigerian scammer in ages. So while your country still has scars from the past, I no longer think of Nigeria when I think of scammers.... Well not as much at least. My first thought goes to India and China now.

      $200 usd is about a week's pay on an average Nigerian salary. Since it's an average, of course, a lot of people make more and a lot of people, especially in rural areas, make a lot less.
      Staple foods are really cheap so that kind of money can go very far buying things like rice and noodles. Even here in the U.S. I can buy 500 lbs of rice or more for $200.

    Nigeria has some of the best and worst people. But some who you'd think are in the "worst" side, just need some key to open the lock and show their true selflessness. And that's what I love about Pleasant Green. He brings out the good in some scammers, and puts them out of their horrible job to go pursue a better career. As they said, say No to Scammers. I'm so happy that they did such an amazing thing. It's a Win-Win situation, and I LOVE IT! I hope you continue to do this, and hope that everything goes great for you!
    Also, for the random people who see this comment, have a great day, and Merry Christmas! (Unless you're reading this from the future and Christmas is long over)
