Trendy Fraudulent Scams



Many times the media reported a bunch of Nigerian men were raided by law enforcer for scamming people. 

Within the realm of social media, their modus operandi is simple, create a fake account using mostly Caucasian images as profile pictures. If the target is women they would use a man's photo, and if they target victim is a man they would usually use sexy women pictures.


Year after year we hear stories about people falling for scams because they wanted to get wealthy or trying to get life partners. Many times the narrative on how they were fooled for the scams are bewildering, often we asked ourselves why are the victims so gullible that they can't sense any suspicion. 


A con-man is brilliant in initiating new ways to con people, apart from that, people are still being gulled by con-men with old tactics - romance scam. Mostly, the victims are women whom are lonely and seeking love partner. In fact, this type of scam is the favorite. People who are desperate are the easiest because they would spend hundred of thousands by wiring their lifetime saving to another part of the world to an anonymous con-man that used alluring words.

Internet scams are a big industry.

Other main the factor why many intelligent individuals failed to see they have been duped into a fraud scheme is that the scheme was developed until it becomes so convincing and real such as the pyramid scheme.  

Despite many warnings especially the most repeated connotation on how to identify a fraudulent scheme is when the reward is too good to be true while the process doesn't involve hard work people, they all are scams. But still, people tend to ignore their doubt sensory and fall for the scam instead.

This sensory of doubt is not only being ignored by the gullible, in fact people who excel in their career such as doctors, lawyers, businessman have actually fallen for the obvious trap.

Caucasian Scammers

Today, billions of people are Internet users - a gold mine for con-men. Nowadays, con-men is also known as con-artist. Some simple click of dubious links, a popped up video would appear screening random short videos with professional traits trying to convince people to sign up for their scheme by promising rewards with big sum of money. 

Most of the videos featuring some white man or woman, with some lousy acting or convincing animation explaining of the scheme works. And all of it are really to good to be true.

Here are some examples;- Are these ads seem convincing to you?







It's not hard to identify this deceptive advertisement by the look of it. People just need to be a little more tactful by closing the bothering popped up tabs and avoid any dubious sites and links.
