NIGERIAN SCAM LADIES
Why do scams succeed?

Scams target people of all backgrounds, ages and income levels across Australia. There is no one group of people who are more likely to become a victim of a scam. If you think you are 'too clever' to fall for a scam, you may take risks that scammers can take advantage of.

Scams succeed because of two things.

Firstly, a scam looks like the real thing. It appears to meet your need or desire. To find out that it is in fact a scam, you must first make the effort to check it properly. You need to ask questions and think carefully before you decide what to do. Being aware of the dangerous myths below will help you with this. Depending on the issue, you can decide if something is a scam on the spot, or you might need help—and that could take several days.

Secondly, scammers manipulate you by ‘pushing your buttons’ to produce the automatic response they want. It’s nothing to do with you personally, it’s to do with the way individuals in society are wired up emotionally and socially. It’s because the response is automatic that people fall for the scam. To stop scammers manipulating you into their traps, it can be useful to know how to prevent the automatic response they expect.
Top
Dangerous myths

Some people hold beliefs that leave them even more vulnerable to scams.

One of them is the belief that all companies, businesses and organisations are legitimate and okay because they are all vetted and approved by the government or some other authority. That is not so. Consumer protection agencies can only do so much. While they are constantly on the look-out for dodgy operators, some scams only come to their attention when people report them.

A similar dangerous myth is that internet websites are all legitimate, or that it is difficult to set up a website. It is quite easy and cheap to set up a professional-looking website that is run from outside Australia. A scam website could be used to sell a dodgy product, or it could be easily made to resemble a genuine website, like a bank or credit union website. These websites are often only 'live' for a few days— but that is enough time to trick people into giving up their credit card details or other personal information.

Another belief that makes people vulnerable to scams is the idea that there are short cuts to wealth that only a few people know. Ask yourself the question: if someone knew a secret to instant wealth why would they be spending their time telling everyone, or need to charge people money for it?

Believing these myths can place you at risk.
Top
Psychological tricks used in scams

As well as exploiting the dangerous myths above, scammers often use psychological triggers to get an automatic response from you without you realising it. Watch out for them next time you're approached, or even next time someone asks you for a favour.
Top
Reciprocation

Scammers give you something, such as a 'free' gift or assistance, to get something in return, such as your agreement later on. You are caught up feeling obliged to do something. Protect yourself from those sentiments by recognising the gifts and favours as nothing more than devices to influence you to return the favour.

To get you to agree to what you don't want, scammers may make one outlandish offer, which they know you will reject, so that later they can make one which will not appear so bad in comparison.

Scammer: ‘Okay, you told me you can't do $5000, after I'd already lined up the contract for you. So I've asked my manager for a favour and he authorised me to accept $2000, although we don't normally do that. How do you want to do it, credit card or direct transfer?’

Response: ‘Hold on, $2000 is still out of the question.’

Scammer: ‘As a sign of our appreciation and commitment, we have sent you a small gift. All that we ask is a small fee to cover the freight and insurance costs.’
Response: ‘I thought the gift was free? I do not want you to give me anything that I have to pay for.’

Top
Commitment and consistency

Someone will get you to commit to something early in the piece, and later recall that initial agreement to get you to agree to something further. This ploy can make you feel ill at ease. To protect yourself, you should tre0

BE AWARE OF THIS SCAM LADIES WHO WILL PRETEND THAT THEY WANNA HELP YOU GET RICH YET THEIR AIM IS TO MAKE INCOME FROM YOU.

THEY HAVE TRIED ME BUT I WAS SHARPER THAN THEM SO BE SHARP TOO AND NEVER END UP IN A TRAP...

My Dearest Love,

How are you today?
I believe you are doing well.

God will bless and reward you for every effort you are making to see me out from this horrible situation I found myself today.

As for me I am fine here with all hopes that you will assist me to transfer my money to your position for a better life with you.

I am suffering here in the prison called refugee camp and I believe with you I can start a new life in your country after the transfer of my money to your account.

I can see what the bank is demanding before they will transfer my money to your position concerning the documents they need for the transfer.

Presently I have my Late Father Death Certificate and Statement of Account with me here which I will send to you.

The only problem we have now is the Power of Attorney which the bank said that it will be issued by a lawyer here in Senegal for me to sign my signature on it.

After reading your mail, I discussed it with Rev Emmanuel  and he gave me the contact of this lawyer Barrister Jerry Demba.

He is one of the lawyers working with the united nations here in Senegal He is a very Good man darling please don’t be afraid of him.

I will want you to contact him on both phone and email tell him that you are my foreign partner that you need his services to prepare a power of attorney that will enable you transfer my $8.6 U.S. Dollars from ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND to your account on my behalf due to my refugee status.
