Do White People live in Nigeria
I would like to know do white people live in Nigeria due to I met this man online and he claims to be a contractor from California and he got into a jam and needed money after we established a relationship and after giving the money he kept coming up with new situation to get more money and then after completion over two years he claims he was kidnapped and now he is asking for more money but I requested he email me his passport to prove he lives in California but he refuses. I just want to know how big is the scam in Lagos Nigeria due to I am certain I was scam but that is my loss and a lesson to be learn but he was a Prince Charmer and very convincing and I believe him due to he sent me pictures of him and his daughter and mom and dead who he claim deceased and he wasn't on the internet as a scammer or the wanted list. Just want someone else opinnion due to this is too embarrass to complain to my friends and family. I forget to mention had told me after signing the contract he would get paid by a check but unable to cash the check so I would like to know if you are indeed a contractor from the U.S. can you have them wire the funds to your account or can you cash a check over 100K and plus he needs the money for a plane ticket and he comes up with this figure of $950.00 and cab fare of $60.00 each way to the airport so I need someone to comment who lives in Lagos Nigeria, I live in the U.S. Thank you for any feedback.

I am a Nigerian, a graduate engineer and I can tell you not all internet fraudster who claim to be Nigerians are truly Nigerians. Most of this people are mostly from other African countries. This is not to say there are no scammers in Nigeria. I myself ve received many strange calls from people claiming to be a friend either in the states or Europe (my phone often show international number), I have received calls from charming ladies (from North Africa) wanting to be my friend blah blah blah!!!, from people who have one account somewhere and needs my help with funds to access it and at the end share one ridiculous profit with me I listen to their silly and twisty stories and try to burn off some of their phone credit. When they no longer have anything to say! I warn them never to call my line again.
I am simply not interested in reaping where I did not sow neither am I interested in a blind relationship I have to see a woman to be attracted to her in the first place!!
If people learn to play smart, the so called scammers would be driven out of their scam business.
Most Nigerians are good people, loving and caring to foreigners than any other African country. Its quite unfortunate some few bad eggs have labeled million bad.

PS most times those guys are not even nigerian!
I am married to a Nigerian man. Yes, I met him online, facebook to be exact. He never asked me for money. It was only a month of conversation online when we started speaking on the phone. Almost all Nigerian's have a cell phone, land line or access to one. There are not a "backwoods" society without technology! It does however cost money to use the technology, phone or internet.
If your friend has access to funds for the internet, she has access to funds to get the ID that she needs.
One month later, I sent him a webcam ($20.00 at Walmart) through the USPS. To send it and know that he received it, I spent $30 bucks on the postage to have him sign for it. He received it, and started speaking with me from his laptop at home. The webcam calls were FREE!
Ten months into our relationship, he asked would I come visit. I agreed. He sent a "invitation letter" and a copy of his passport so that I could apply for a Nigerian Visa with the Nigerian Embassy in the US. (this process is completed and paid for here in the US online)
After receiving the Nigerian Visa, I bought a plane ticket. Then, and only then, did I forward money to pay for a hotel room (which you can only book 10 days in advance of your stay). Once the room was booked, he scanned and forwarded me the hotel itinerary.
Long story short, I stayed 17 days, got engaged, met his family (lovely, loving people!), then came home and filed a fiancee visa. (That is another book to be told later with many forms, money and much information required.) He came in on a 90-Day Fiancee VIsa, we married and filed additional Visa paperwork.
Point is...it is possible to fall in love with someone online. They don't have to be from Nigeria. But Nigerians have been given a bad rap because the entire scam was named "Nigerian Scams". There are scammers from many countries throughout the continent of Africa.
Your potential mate has made it all this time without money you are forwarding, they will continue to make it without your forwarding money now. Send gifts (I did)...a shirt and a pair of shoes. He appreciated the sentiment and style because it was from his American Fiancee.
My husband worked and sent me gifts though the mail as well. A beautiful handmade dress (one size fits all, of course) and he made me some cards and forwarded notes. But if you give or gift, do it from your heart and don't expect anything in return.
I am not paying, even if this guy is genuine, its his problem and he can get himself out of it - maybe I will lose the money I sent to him, but I have learned my lesson - if he comes its a bonus, if not I will just get on with my life and forget all the promises he made. It seems like a scam to me - and I want others to be very careful. I will post on here if he arrives and is who he says he is - dont want to do him an injustice.
The image dainting and mudslinging on Nigerians should and must STOP.
After one month this man went to Nigeria to build a new road network there. When he landed he tried to reach me, and he said that he was attacked, and he need money to survive few days. After his work he wanted to come to me to my country. He booked the ticket too. I gave him money and he could get to my country and from here to London. We could not meet in my country. After he get home he wanted again money from me. He said he has a property and he have to clear it to get it. He needed 5000 dollars. I did not give him money. Before he went Nigeria everything was so perfect, and by now my heart is broken, I am suffering, because I cant believe that this man on these photos is a bad man. I need help.
Please write me, maybe your photos is mine too.

I hope this one works..anyone notice this guy
anyone recognize this guy he is on facebook and he goes by the name Alec Chandler. He claims he is a engineer working over in Nigeria and his boss abandoned him there. His parents and one sibling were killed in a car crash. He is supposedly from the UK and also has family who lives in Minnesota. Funny thing is I thought people in the UK speak english...it is obvious that this guy has poor english..he uses the wrong word and uses words out of text. He had gotten my friend to send him money because he was "trapped" in the UK with no money since his boss abandoned him there and he was trying to get back to the USA. So she told him she wanted the money back and low and behold when he was "supposedly" driving to mail the money back to her he got in a tragic accident...I mean how convenient. He now wasn't going to be able to return her money but he now was going to need even more money because his friend said that he was in a coma caused by the accident and he needed surgery on his head that was badly injured. The hospital in Nigeria refused to do the surgery unless they had the $5000 up front. How convenient. The hospital was going to let him die unless he had the money up front...I am thinking no loss right...so his friend is contacting my friend asking for money and my friend is saying she has no money to send, so they keep harassing her for money. I am just wondering how this will all play out...like a soap opera...does Alec die without the surgery...do his friends come up with a new plan...does my friend come up with the money. All this time the doctor from Nigeria is calling my friend from the hospital to update her on his condition from his cellphone. They call her for weeks on his cellphone and I am wondering how is this possible...did he have the cellphone charger in his car when he crashed it and did the people in the ambulance say hey I know this man is injured but we have to make sure we grab his phone charger. The doctor might need it to keep his phone charged to call his people for weeks on end. I kept telling my friend if he is a US citizen and one of the UK than if he is trapped in another country he needs to go to the embassy. He kept telling her that he didn't want to go the embassy because he wanted to get out of the country on his own...well okay but your not doing it on your own...you are relying on people giving you money to get home. I mean how do people even fall for these stories...they are so unbelievable it isn't even funny.
