Why most of the nigerian and african peoples are asking foreign peoples help to transfer their funds.?

Question

But if you donot send money to them for transfer fee, taxes, and other fees theywill not communicate to you again. If they really have money why not give them to their countrymen. Do they mean they are that rich? Does it mean these people are all scammers? And can you give me the information of these company and persons. Like offshore company services, Dr Wilson Hua, Bewy Devy, Jane Uwaoma, Barrister Benson, Dr. Odon .

Answer 1

1) It's a SCAM
2) "Most of Nigerian and African people." Do you know how many people are from/live in Nigeria or Africa to write "most". Come on, be real. Those people are a minority who give honest, hard working people in that part of the world a bad name.
Those people are just scammers, hustlers, call them what you want, who think that some people are stupid enough to fall for it and I guess if those manipulative and dishonest people are still doing it means some people are really stupid and greedy (since I think they offer some kind of financial compensation for helping them) and actually do respond to them.
3)No, I am not Nigerian (I do travel a lot but have never been to Nigeria, yet) and I don't like this scam more than you do. There are some very wealthy people in Nigeria ( like in every single country which includes African countries). Please don't think that there are only rich people in the Western part of the world.

4) Just ignore them and delete them without even opening them or report them.

Answer 2

Consider anyone who is trying to shuffle money to be a scammer. Don't fall for any scheme that involves returning money to the person who sends a check to you. If someone sends a check to you, do not use your own money to send funds to a third party in another country. These are variations of the same scam.
Some people from African countries send authentic-looking United States Postal Money Orders for more than their purchase and ask you to send them a check back for the difference. Many Africans buy used cars that way. It takes up to 10 days to find out the money order is bogus. By then your property and your money are gone.

Answer 3

anything like that that has a transfer of money is considered money laundering and is illegal. If you try to participate you will go to jail. Honest people who tried to help the Nigerians in this money transfer stuff unknowingly, got the shock of their lives when when went to jail.

Are the nigerians rich, maybe some are, but they have a lot of corruption there.

Answer 4

They don't have the money to begin with, they take your money and run. They're all scammers, that's why they're in remote foreign countries where law enforcement spends its time making sure the government doesn't collapse instead of going after internet scammers.

Answer 5

Are you talking about the e-mail where they say they have a huge amount of money & they need your help to release it. And then they ask for your personal inmformation? Those are scams, don't send them any info, they'll just get in your accounts.

Answer 6

They are running a game, hoping that someone will bite on the promise of easy money. Don't respond, don't even open the emails - if on yahoo, forward as spam. The more of these you open, the more you will get.

Answer 7

Yes, dear. It's a scam. They are asking foreign idiots to transfer money TO them!

Answer 8

They're scams. Its the same few criminals and all they do is change the name of the person supposedly sending the letter.

Answer 9

Its a complete rip off don't you read the newspapers,stay well clear of these con-men

Answer 10

I'm not sure why people are using African sounding names, but they're all hoaxes, every last one of 'em so please don't take them seriously n DON'T send them money.
