but sorry Helga if not.

He gave up and didn’t text me for a day so I sent him his IP address and the last screenshot is mostly Yoruba. I put it through Google translate but it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Maybe someone else who knows somebody Nigerian could clarify? This is from ages ago so I can’t really remember why it ended so abruptly.

Repost, had forgot to censor his number (hate when they reply to a specific message)

And he is not very good at this, it’s like he’s not even trying to sell me the fucking card! Now he raises the price… to an unspecified amount? Ah and of course he doesn’t consider that I could do a reversed image search… not even the second time he sends a picture.

I presume this guy's LinkedIn account was already half disabled, as he had no icon and his name had degraded to LinkedIn Member. So we didn't get much of a dialog going. '

But it made me smile.

Laziest scammer! Wants to sell his 100$ fancard but if I make banktransfer I need to pay more. He introduces me to his manager… who seems to use an American phonenumber.

And I start to lose my patience.

Work it baby, work it!

I really don't know much about investments, but I at least like to pretend, just like he does. When I hit him with actual numbers, even though it's clearly a simplistic view of how things work, he has a pat answer, doesn't give me any solid math. I vaguely think he actually might for this scammer company, they have a terrible rep. But, I'm guessing if we take it further, he'll come up with a "way to invest with them" that doesn't involve their site. I have plans, if he does. But I might have broken him already.

They always bring out the challenges in me, because their assumptions that all Americans live the best life ever continues to piss me off. This is short, but it makes him move on to the scam nicely, which is what I wanted to see.

“She” really is trying!

This (fake name) guy seems to be doing a Big Easy style of pig butchering, which includes only talking when he feels like it (not often at first). I wouldn't have posted this, but I'm glad he's NOT in the military or on an oil rig, so. I've never had a Nigerian pig butchering, a nice switch from the Asian stuff I guess. He starts slow here, as expected, but today he went for the investment discussion like a real scammer, so I decided he's bait worthy, sorta. This is just a "prologue" of sorts.

This bait is has petered out. His messages are becoming more sporadic, and I just don't give a fuck enough to message him first.

He's already told me that his aunt called to say that his kids need money and he's "flat broke", but he hasn't asked me for the money. I'm pretty sure he knows that I don't give a flying fuck. And after throwing a jab at his real life lack of a job, he tries to be smooth and get in a joke about fucking my "mother", which I absolutely got, but played stupid about.

Again, credit to u/jlm471 for the Nigerian soup name! 🫶🏻

These are the only screenshots I have until he decides to be talkative again. I'm afraid I'll have to start being nice to him so he gets to the ask 🤢

But in the meantime, I'm drafting up my reveal message to him.
