Prettygirl200:
before u start castigating someone I think u should sit and think about your own life. I am entitled to my likes and dislikes. So don't use such words. Got it??

Prettygirl200:
That's not what am saying, ofcourse my life is a priority to me but marrying a yahoo guy I don't see anything wrong with it. It's fraud yes but he didn't kill anyone, politicians that have been stealing our resources Don't women marry them? They do so I will definitely marry if one comes my way

Jasbi:



What you state here is wrong, it's your opinion tho, but claiming that yahoo boys have raised there family out of poverty thereby putting the families of their victims in that same poverty is very bad.

Notorious Nigerian Fraudster Transferred To USA Over Alleged $148,000 Scam

A wire fraud suspect, Adedunmola Gbadegesin was on Monday April 26, 2022, extradited to the United States where he is wanted in a case of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.

The offences contravene Title 18, US Code, Section 1349 and 1956 (h) and carries a maximum jail term of 20 years.

His extradition was coordinated by the EFCC, following a request from the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, pursuant to a February 11, 2022 Order by Justice D.E Osiagor of the Federal High Court, Lagos, in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/765/21, which granted a request to extradite the suspect to the United States to answer to criminal charges bordering on romance scam, wire fraud and money laundering.

There are lots of men who go about promising women marriage and collecting money from those women.

While some of the women would not hesitate to give out money to any man who is willing to marry them,

some of these men have turned it into a means of making quick money.



But the truth is that if someone loves you and really wants to marry you,


he/she will not even think of you giving him/her money.


Collecting money from you will be the last thing in his or her mind.

A United States court in the Northern District of Oklahoma on Friday sentenced a Nigerian, Afeez Adebara, to four years in prison.

Adebara bagged the jail term for managing a group of money launderers in an online romance scam that defrauded multiple victims, including elderly individuals across the U.S., and caused losses of at least $2.5 million.

According to a statement by the U.S. Department of Justice, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering on November 3, 2020.

Court documents and testimony revealed that between 2017 and November 2019, the 36-year-old and his co-conspirators knowingly concealed the proceeds of a romance scam operation by moving money between and among multiple bank accounts that were opened under various aliases, using fake passports and other fraudulent identification documents to obscure the source of the funds and the identities of his accomplices.

He was said to have taken further steps to conceal the source of the funds, took a commission for himself, and sent the remainder of the funds back to the online romance scammers in Nigeria, including in the form of vehicles and vehicle parts.

“Adebara coordinated with overseas co-conspirators who had assumed false identities on online dating websites and social media platforms to defraud victims,” said the statement. “Adebara opened multiple accounts using fraudulent identities, then provided the account and routing numbers to the overseas co-conspirators. The overseas co-conspirators told victims that they were U.S. residents working or traveling abroad.

“As the online relationships continued, the overseas co-conspirators requested increasingly larger sums of money, with the claimed purpose that the funds were needed to complete business projects or for them to return to the United States.

“The victims were directed by the overseas co-conspirators to send funds to certain bank accounts, with an assurance that the money would purportedly be allocated as needed.”

Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Polite Jr. of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, Acting U.S. Attorney Clinton J. Johnson for the Northern District of Oklahoma, and Special Agent in Charge Melissa Godbold of the FBI-Oklahoma City Field Office made the announcement.

FBI’s Field Office in Oklahoma City conducted the investigation with assistance from the agency’s San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York Field Offices.

Trial Attorneys Babasijibomi Moore of the Criminal Division’s Fraud Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher Nassar of the Northern District of Oklahoma prosecuted the case.

“This case is part of an ongoing national effort by the Department of Justice to address online fraud schemes, including those based out of Nigeria, that target U.S. citizens and residents,” the statement added.

What is there justification for doing This? Why would a man lie for 4 years swearing that he was not married and has no child? What in the long run do Scammers get? A life of luxury for what 1 year or so....

Why is it that people feel to hurt and destroy someone just for money? Why steal from someone just because you want to have a better life?

HardMirror:
by Yahoo boys, i mean the Nigerian Internet Fruadsters.


1. MYTH: The are very intelligent
Fact : Most of them have average or low IQ

It is popular accepted that "yahoo boys" are very smart, so much so that people would say, "why dont they use their intelligence for better things?" the truth of the matter is these guys are not as smart as you imagine. Most of them are actually less intelligent than entrepreneurs and working class people who have to be innovative, book smart and street smart to make it.
What people dont know is that Yahoo boys only follow what they call a "FORMAT" meaning everything is already laid out, somebody intelligent comes up with this format and he teaches others. There are different Formats, Romance, Alibaba, Credit Card Loading, tax return, car wrap, Come-and-carry, etc. you dont have to be smart to follow any of these formats. Hushpuppy is a proof of how unintelligent even successful Yahoo boys are. he was using his direct (personal) line and personal email address to communicate with his clients and associates with lots of incriminating materials in his personal email and personal phone line. without these, the FBI would not be able to prove he was a fraudster.
so stop respecting these guys, they are not intelligent.

2. MYTH : They can hack
Truth : 99.9% of them dont know anything about hacking
To be considered an hacker, you must actually know how front and backend program interfaces work, then be able to exploit weaknesses, bugs or loopholes in how the program is scripted. This means you must be able to understand programming languages, able to access source codes, able to build tools "executable files" that would compromise target scripts. Trust me all these boys shouting "hacking" up and down your street cannot even write a "Hello World" script in any program. in fact most of them dont even know what i mean by "hello world" because they know NOTHING about how computers or computer programs work, talkless of being able to hack.
most times you read news about some local boys hacking bank systems etc, it is all rubbish. for them to gain access to your credit card or bank information, they use basic tricks to actually steal the information from you through "social engineering" - calling you and asking you questions pretending to be from the bank or just getting basic information about you such as your Date of birth, place of birth, your schooling information and they can use these to "recover" your accounts. Dont be afraid, they cannot hack anything, they are posers and only rely on your carelessness to steal your account information.

NOTE: there are hackers, but these guys are very rare. they are 1 in 10,000 fraudsters you will meet.

3. MYTH : They are successful because of JUJU "Yahoo Plus"
Truth : the Juju is psychological
Most Nigerians already believe that boys claiming to be into yahoo are actually into JUJU. this is a big lie they want you to believe. There is no Yahoo boy that gets a kobo without "working" for it. Yahoo Plus or Not all boys have to hustle to make the money. they have to lie, they have to bomb, they have to follow up. Juju only gives them moral. It is true that most successful ones are into juju, but not because the juju makes them successful, it is because it takes a desperate and highly motivated person to go into juju. They are into Juju (yahoo plus) because they are desperate, highly motivated and focused on their Yahoo career, because of these they are more successful than the other boys that are just freelancing and not so desperate, hence people are mislead to think they are successful because of the JUJU.
Secondly, JUJU is a fraternity thing for Yahoo Boys. if you are in a fraternity, you are more likely to pull big scams because you know your guys would not betray you because they fear the JUJU bond between them. if you have a picker for example that is not in your fraternity, it is likely he would run away with your money, hence the juju part comes to play for the big time scammers.

here is an article by the Guardian Newspaper titled[b] Ritual does not give us money, Yahoo Plus boys confess[/b] https://guardian.ng/features/ritual-does-not-give-us-money-yahoo-plus-boys-confess/


4. MYTH : Only greedy people fall for their scams
TRUTH : Majority fall because they are trusting and not because they are greedy
while it is true that greed can make people fall for cheap scams, truth me; majority of victims were not victims because of greed, but because of trust. when you are a trustworthy person, you tend to trust other people easily and this makes you vulnerable to exploitation and that is what these boys do. they exploit people who trust them. Stop mocking people who are victims of scams, because most times it shows they are good people who trust easily.

5. MYTH : Only gullible people fall for their scams
TRUTH : Everyone is gullible, experience is what most victims lack.
i mean it, EVERY DAMN PERSON ON EARTH CAN BE SCAMMED. i have an uncle who is a lawyer, he would boast that no body can every scam him, yet he is one of the most scammed person i have ever met in my life. this man gets scammed by everyone around him. he was scammed so much that his mechanic made him spend over N1.3 million to repair a fault that would have cost him only N120k to fix. His electrician collected over N200k to just fix his meter (nothing was wrong with the meter). There is no human that has ever lived that cannot be scammed, that you know how some scammers work, does not mean you know everything, you only know what your experience or experience of other people teaches you, when something new comes up, that fits your fancy or need, you will fall for the scam
