RE: Its good to know they're back!

Ah, I had noticed that, too. The scammers seem to be back, which means BTC is probably out of the Bear Market!

"Send money to receive some more..." - that's a well known Nigerian Scam. They started doing that before the Internet was invented, and they still use the exact same scheme nowadays.

How can people be so dumb to still fall for it? I can't comprehend.

Now, let's hope this stuff starts to move higher without too many violent crashes.

Well, if you are as naive as I am when I had been starting out, then, yes. You will believe anything. that's what faucets do to you.

It pains to hear that some nigerian youth from my country engage in all this activities, they are just trying to sabotage the image of other youth,
@ttincowski what you don't have idea about i can easily persuade or convince you, i guess thats why people fall for this scam it's as a result of ignorance, take for instance my first account that got hacked, it was due to ignorance. Alot of people have this mentality of making money quick whereas its not always the way we see it, nothing good comes easy, even the richest man from africa and Nigeria in the name of Aliko Dangote, he was so patient with his struggle, and he has being able to inspire other Nigerian youth in my country into entrepreneurship. So please i know how we top the chart in terms of scamming individuals but its something that could happen in any other country but it pains me Nigerians are among😥, here in my country we have youths who are doing really great in their trade or businesses, so many creativity and also in our entertainment industry, so don't let the bad eggs make you see the rest as scammers what i will advise people is that they should be very careful, and always make more research and findings on what you seem not to have an idea about before going into it.

I am well aware now that this Scam is being used all over the world. I called it Nigerian Scam because it was where this kind of scam was born.

The method is always the same. They promise you money... but you'll have to pay a "small" fee if you want to get the money. It always ends in the same way. They keep those "fees" and never send you any money.

Yeah very true, it's just so unfortunate alot of people still fall for it, this syndrome of making money fast is what is killing some of our youths or making them go into hacking or fraudulent.
