Times Are Tough For Nigerian Scammers
The Narrative Fallacy writes "The Washington Post reports that online swindling takes dedication even in the best of times but succeeding in the midst of a worldwide economic meltdown takes patience, resolve, and hard work. 'We are working harder. The financial crisis is not making it easy for them over there,' said Banjo, 24, speaking about Americans, whose trust he has won and whose money he has fleeced, via his Dell laptop. 'They don't have money. And the money they don't have, we want.' US authorities say Americans — the easiest prey, according to Nigerian scammers — still lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year to cybercrimes, including a scheme known as the Nigerian 419 fraud, named for a section of the Nigerian criminal code. 419 is cemented in Nigerian popular culture. and the scammers, known as 'yahoo-yahoo boys,' are glorified in pop songs such as 'Yahoozee,' which gained even more fame after former secretary of state Colin L. Powell danced to it at a London festival last year."
I keep getting mod point's and I always mod trolls up, never down.
The /. system is totally broken how often do you see an informative post modded down because some asshole happens to disagree?
An SQL query goes to a bar, walks up to a table and asks, "Mind if I join you?"
Niggerhater.
In case any of you aren't aware, Nigerians are BLACK...
I wonder how much better your country will be when 50% of the entire population are black?
Still, let's not think about it, wouldn't want to be 'racist', would we.
Who cares about your children being murdered, robbed, assaulted, etc.?
You obviously don't.
Google 'Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom'.
Africa is a shit-hole because it is infested with niggers.
This is why the entire question of "reparations" for slavery offends me. If money changed hands to rebalance things, who owes who?
