12 Unbelievable Scams That Are Common In Nigeria by Abaidaboss: 11:43pm On Jun 05, 2020
There have been different types of scams throughout history. From financial, to relationship to investment to political… oops!! did I say political? that was a mistake. While most people fall into these scams due to greed, others fall into it due to their ignorance.

Without further ado, let’s “dive” into the 12 unbelievable scams that are common in Nigeria

1. The ‘Nigerian Prince’ Internet Scam
There are several Internet scams that have been around for several years.

The ‘Nigerian Prince’ is probably the longest. It was estimated by CNBC that the scam rakes in over 700,000 dollars annually. Wow!!

2. Anti Aging Product
Why is there even an anti-aging product in the market? Like how do people buy these products?

You’re gon get old, fam. You want to be old mama/papa youngie? the scammers target the old people, especially the sugar mummies that want to look young to attract jigolos (If you don’t know the meaning, consult the urban dictionary).

Truth be told, some of these products work but most of them are harmful, worthless, and filled with dangerous chemicals.
