Nooooooo, don’t purge my nigerian bot feedback
Lmao, this is so true!!
I’m leaving a Nigerian here . He’s not a direct scammer, but indirectly he is one. He sells useless services/methods, and later, when buyers open method tickets on Swapd, he hides behind their no-refund policy @Trish
I don’t like that statement Damn Nigerians. You should know better to be racial. Because you had a bad experience with one or two does not mean they’re all damned
Sorry, not sorry.
Race has nothing to do with it.
If you only seen the stats on our end. You take your “one or two” assumptions and keep it to yourself.
In Nigeria’s case, it kind of does. Your country is:
- Banned in many global payment networks.
- The stats are overwhelmingly proving that your country is filled with scammers.
- Nigeria is sanctioned from many online marketplaces, shops, and payment gateways.
- The Nigerian Prince story didn’t come out of the thin air.
You may not like the facts as you are from there, so I get it. But on our end, things look differently.
Nigerian scams, also known as 419 scams, are a major global problem, causing significant financial losses each year. While exact figures can vary, these scams are known to cause tens of thousands of people to lose millions of dollars. In 2005, Nigerian scams accounted for the highest losses per incident of any reported Internet-related financial crime, with an average loss of $5,000. In 2023, NIBSS reported that 80,658 unique customers were victims of fraud, with annual fraud count increasing by 112% and the amount lost to fraud growing by 496%.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
- Financial Losses:
Nigerian scams have resulted in billions of dollars in losses, with estimates reaching $3.2 billion in 2005 alone.
- Victims:
These scams affect individuals and businesses in many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom.
- Scope:
The scams are widespread, with a significant portion of criminals residing in the United States and Nigeria.
- Methods:
Nigerian scams often involve advance fee schemes, where victims are promised large sums of money in exchange for upfront payments. They may also include phishing attacks, where scammers attempt to steal personal information.
- Impact:
These scams can have a devastating impact on victims, leading to significant financial losses and emotional distress.
If it wasn’t for @Goodness11, the only GOOD member from Nigeria that I could recall, we would flat out ban the whole country of Nigeria from accessing SWAPD.
Thank you brother for your consideration The bad one’s are just messing things up for us. I believe other good Nigerians will join the platform as time goes.
In the meantime, i will be at the lookout for the one’s with fake reviews or trying to deal offsite.
Best response. I’m very new on this platform and the hostility on Nigerians in general is disgusting. I’ve bought from the same people who have labelled all Nigerians as scam with insulting remarks. I’m yet to sell. I wonder how that will be possible with such hostility. And all over the place, there are rules about being courteous, be kind to one another . It’s not evident here. I’m a lady by then way but my observation have nothing to do with that.
You don’t need to worry about anything just remove that profile picture and make a few purchases over 1k, and the safety concern on your profile will be gone. That’s all you need to do, just make sure you’re not deceiving anyone.
And yeah, the admin’s right most online scams do come from Nigerian users.
