FROM THE SCAMMER'S MOUTH
Your Nigerian scammer is VERY proud of what he does... and he does his job proud of the stealing and wrecking of lives that he is part of.
THEY USED TO CALLED 'YAHOO BOYS'.. OR 'YAHOO GUYS'..... NOW THEY LIKE TO BE CALLED 'GEE'. They use the recognise each other. GEE is a sort of code name. For a Yahoo Boy to be a GEE, he needs to be online everyday... and there is always a code, called Bloodline.
Apps to hide your IP are common and easy to fine.. GEE use 'hidden IP's because then Police can't see where they are. It's easy to do and also then Facebook can't see them setting up hundreds of profiles from one IP address, which is the identity of your computer and where you are.
Their favourite App is ZENMATE PREMIUM.. Helps to hide where they are, it helps block trackers. It tells them if someone is trying to find where they are from.
Scammers then make personal relationships with Bank Managers and others who work in places like Moneygram and Western Union. They get a cut of the money, say 10% ! Everybody is happy...in a country like Nigeria it runs on corruption so everyone will take something.
Sometimes if a payment is large, say $10,000 a Bank Manager would inform Police.. so have them on their side.. and they don't.
Scammers talk to many women at once.. when you 'soldier' is going on patrol, he is going to talk to another woman. Scammers work long hours doing this, it's their life's work ! So sometimes they'll need to rest.. they work in gangs, so someone else can do it the next shift.
So.. finding their victims...or 'clients' as they call them.
They will search a country, look there. Groups like entrepreneurs, people in banking etc and add their members, always checking their profiles. Then they go through their friends list.
As soon as you add a stranger he will go through ALL your friends... new victims in a list all laid out for him.
Although many American women are targeted.. the GEE like foreign women. Google Translate or EU Translator is used to talk with them. Check to see widowed/divorced... and play on their sad stories. If women have kids they are likely to want to spend their money, if women are single and have never had them.. they want to keep their money to themselves.
If the scammer gets reported... just block her, move on or create another account. The App tells them if someone if trying to track them so they can get out !
GEE BOYS TALK !
