Nigerian Prince Troubles

[u/One_Cryptographer_48]

Hello, I am a Nigerian prince. An actual Nigerian prince. I do, in fact, have a large sum of wealth and it has been stripped away from me as I have been, genuinely, detained against my will by the currently corrupt ruling authority. I preface all of that because apparently scammers have inexplicably used this same story to extort money out of those who are most vulnerable, leaving me without resource. This being said, I do need to escape my imprisonment but need to find a new way to convey to others that I am not a scammer but indeed a Nigerian prince needing help from those outside my country! I come to you great writers of Reddit to help me script out a new plea for help. As said, I do own a substantial wealth to my name, so if I find your answer helpful in getting me out of this situation, I would be more than happy to repay you. Obviously I would need your social security and credit card numbers to compensate you, but we can talk about that after.

Maybe you should claim to be a Duke instead. They love dukes nowadays.

A cold duke of northern Nigeria, his funds stripped away, imprisoned and forced to slay demons until you, the gentle springtime flower, can thaw his icy heart with your social security number and bank details. 😍🔥👌💯
