Screenshots of a WhatsApp conversation between a Nigerian Scammer and an unsuspecting victim are currently trending.
A Twitter user @ibra_himyusuf who was trying to sell his phone online encountered a supposed buyer who was going to use a fake payment invoice to dupe him.
But once the scammer realised @ibra_himyusuf was Nigerian, he couldn’t go ahead with his plans. He said: “I be omo naija but I can’t bad belle you.”
The scammer then went ahead to give him advice on the safer way to sell phones online.

Um. Wow.
I am appalled.
This cannot be real.
disgraceful human race on the planet
OMG!! same thing happened to me when I tried to sell my camera on Kijiji. I got a very similar text message. The guy said he’ll pay me more if I send him the camera from Canada to Nigeria for his son’s birthday. I insisted I would not post to Nigeria and I never heard back from him again. He also asked for my paypal email.
Please be careful!!
I wish I could attach pics because I’ve got screenshots of the text messages.
There is honor even among thieves
Wow…a scammer with a conscience. Lol.
I laughed so hard…..looooooooooooooooooooool….omg..which kain country be dis
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
I laughed really hard. Sincerely, we have too many things to be sad about. This isn’t one of them. We are Nigeria. We codedly love ourselves outside
Real ooo.. Early 2009 ..same happened to me.. Asked if I was Nigerian .. He laughed n told me he was not legit
God help us! It’s funny though…A scammer with conscience.
The scammer knows the country is hard enough.
WOW! thief with concience indeed,.this is sure brotherly/sisterly love,.watching out for one another
He should not be trying to scam anyone! Geez!!! There is absolutely nothing commendable about this. And why was the “victim” wishing the scammer good luck on his/her next target. There is no honor in what he did and no, he does not have a conscience. Disgusted.
At least he’s more patriotic than our leaders.
Funny enough, this is the type of LEADER we need in Nigeria… someone thats nationalist to the core…
