I've been scammed many times, but it neva scared me away frm online biz. I'll even say dat it has toughened me and hardened me for online biz, cos no goddamn human being or alien cn cum and blow rubbish in my hear nd expect me to bliv.

The thing is not all scammers have poor gramatical skills, remember its the high rate of unemployment in our beloved country that leads pple even graduates to start scamming 4 a living, so if u look out for pple who speak bad language, u wil just be scammed by sm1 with finely constructed english.

Apart frm people,there are also scam sites, created by people in the names of well established companies, but most of these pple use poor web design, hosting etc. So its quite easy to be detect that. But if the contents of the site is quite geniune u can use scamadviser.com or hyipexplorer to check d info abt the site owner.

Just use common sense!

alosiby92: 11. Bad english used or spelling errors.
12. Letterhead of company is hard to decipher.
13. Telling you not to tell anyone or that it is only through them that you can get the offer.
14. Email is a dodgy email address, unserious like mnm2012@yahoo.com
15. They tell you it is a competition you have never entered before in your life.

Advice:
reply all these mails with "your nyash" or simply ignore...

I love your post. Or just use pidgin+ yoruba or whatever language to reply the email with ; "go and die" stupid ppl...

u sound kinda of a scammer kingpn

This is from alibaba user article and it is a b2b website in which businesses are carried out online and offline. The point is, scam mails come from all parts of the world and not Nigeria alone. America top the list. Stop spoiling the name of Nigeria in a Nigerian forum I beg. Not all emails from Nigeria can be said to be fake. As we have good men here, so we have bad men. Likewise same in other countries.

I wonder if this people eva get tired

None disgusts me more than 'ladies' sending me mails to ask for my hand in friendship/relationship.

Some 'say' they saw my profile on this forum.How possible?

Also, the so called 'ladies' almost always bear pure English or Malian/Senegalese names.

That alone gives them away as male scammers. I simply mark mail as 'read'.
ish.

winexviv: 10 Signs of Online Scams

1. Too much marketing terms
Home business opportunity: No experience required. No work involved. Earn $2000 in one week! It's easy to spot these kinds of scams because they're full of too good to be true promises. And, exclamation points, too. What job will earn you that much money in a week without having to have experience and NOT having to work at all? None. Nada. Zilch!

2. Too friendly email
I mean the intro part of the email. If an email from someone you don't know starts with “Hello my friend”, “Dear friend”, and they weren't filtered by your spam box, consider these emails not so trustworthy. This method of scamming is known as phishing or fishing for details or information that will put your financial security in danger.

3. Money Matters
It promises that you can make money online. But you have to pay that upfront, one-time fee first for some training materials. Shady!

4. Assembled Jobs
If a home based business opportunity requires you to assemble furniture or stuff envelops, these are generic but often overlooked signs of a true blue scam.

5. Country Representative Job Offer
Coupled with sign no. 2, if an email offers you a job as a payment receiver requiring you to deposit a check on their behalf or anything similar to that job description, you're doomed if you reply.

6. Job Offer that Requires Your Picture to Get Hired
Unless you are applying as a model, which is not a form of online money making venture, someone who's looking for, say, a virtual assistant and asks that she sends a picture is offering something suspicious. Lots of free job listing sites have these types of job posts. Be very, very careful.

7. Employer has no online presence
If you are trying to win an online job but when you researched about the online presence of your would-be employer and there's no trace of his name or his company, ask your employer about his company or his business first.

8. Presence of Pressure Tactics
If the online business opportunity tells you that you will get a chance to win a anti-scam book if you sign up now or you can avail of an early bird discount, walk! Unless they're coaching or consultancy services which are not direct ways to earn money online, you should not be subjected to these kinds of pressuring if the opportunity will really make you money.

9. Request from Employer or Sponsor that You Keep the Offer a Secret
Coupled with scam sign no. 2 and 5, if the email sender asks you to keep your transactions confidential just for any reason at all, red flag, red flag, red flag! They don't want you to inform others that you are about to get scammed, of course.

10. Emails from Someone in Nigeria
Although many Nigerians who use Internet scamming as past time, have already figured out that lots of Westerners already know that they should not trust any email from someone in Nigeria, there are still those who are gullible enough to fall for these frauds.
Educate your friends and family who love to use the Internet. They can still be too busy checking their emails or MySpace pages to know these signs.

LOL! THE RED IS HILARIOUS!!

Nigeria has suffered o.
But truth be told, scams are not always from Nigeria or easy to tell.
My advise is just not to give out too much personal info...to ANYONE.

Take it from KAILS! if nobody else o!!

ok
