I've often pondered this very thing. What if the boy/girl/tv of one's dreams just happened to be born in Nigeria, was the most honest, straight-forward, honorable, perfect person imaginable, but was Nigerian, and therefore no one took them seriously. It seems like the sort of practical joke the Universe would enjoy playing. Must suck to be Nigerian right now.

I am sure their are geniune sub's and dom's from Nigeria.The problem has been so many fake's have come from that country,that it is a little hard to know who is real and who is trying to get free money sent to them.

I wouldn't be surprised that many people in countries like Nigeria see things like this as a possible escape to a better life.

Maybe when Nigerians email each other, they take each other seriously....

They would be too far out of my zip code either way

I've had good conversations with real Nigerians actually. I don't mind wasting time on scammers for the chance at a good conversation. I'm online partly to waste time anyways. It's pretty easy to tell the difference, if she doesn't ask you for money for a ticket (or an operation, or whatever) chances are she isn't a scammer.

Thank god im not the only one.

My father worked in Nigeria. I can ask basic quesions and get real answers.

The scammers are uneducated, not bilingual, obviously working from a badly written script.

The non scammer Nigerians, have excellent english, are highly educated and are more likely to pay for your ticket to them than ask for the opposite.

Yup, "Asylum Seeker Alert!"
I knew a guy when I lived in N.H. who married a "Russian bride" and within a year she charged all his credit cards up for $50 k, took money out of the bank and ...vanished! Left him with all the bills! And ICE was questioning *him* about "fraud marriages to gain citizenship!" A real mess for him!
The safest way to play it is to stick to people to your own country or at the most, Western countries.
If you get involved with someone from a third or fourth world country then you're just asking for trouble and you deserve whatever you get.

Some how my "give a damn" about someone who got ripped off by a mail order bride is broken

Actually that is very Taoist of me, but then again, you would have to be a Taoist to understand how that is so...

Sorry Frazzle, but this is incorrect. You are describing very low level scammers that operate the spammer and catcher accounts for the gangs that run these scams. Once a victim gets past the first few emails, they are usually 'kicked upstairs' to a much better scammer.

The next level scammers are usually educated (often college educated), bilingual, and they use a storyline rather than a script. In many scams, the next level scammer plays the 'barrister' and the 'shipper' as well as taking over the original character. Some scams also involve fake checks, phished bank and Paypal accounts, fake websites, and stolen goods. Love scammers often use their victims as 'mules', having them send fake checks to other victims or getting them to receive goods paid for with stolen credit cards and ship them overseas.

Scamming is literally a billion dollar a year industry. Those in charge move massive amounts of money around the world. They drive brand new cars and own multiple residences. They are hardly uneducated guys pounding on keyboards in some internet cafe.

Now, to the OP. There are many folks in Nigeria who are hard working and honest. It is a great shame that scammers have run the reputation of their country into the ground.

I assume that genuine Nigerians can find a suitable match closer to home than me.

Dang, WyldHrt, you certainly earned that title of "smaht kewkie."

I had to read that several times just to download it past my blonde hair (I am having a severe space cadet day today).

I feel sorry for "real" kinksters in Nigeria because they hardly have a prayer with all the bad rep earned by scammers.

So glad I'm not Nigerian.

Wrong! You have the ying but where is the yang? Do you care "too much" or "too little?"
Your chi is drooping.
