[I]These guys call us maghas; which is their word for white fool. Of course anyone stupid enough to fall for this crap probably deserves what they get. However, when you read the whole article you will see that to these folks think they are justified in doing whatever it takes to prey upon us.[/I]
The e-mail scammers here prefer hitting Americans, whom they see as rich and easy to fool. They rationalize the crime by telling themselves there are no real victims: [I]Maghas [/I]are avaricious and complicit.
To them, the scams, called 419 after the Nigerian statute against fraud, are a game.
Their anthem, "I Go Chop Your Dollars," hugely popular in Lagos, hit the airwaves a few months ago as a CD penned by an artist called Osofia:
"419 is just a game, you are the losers, we are the winners.
White people are greedy, I can say they are greedy
White men, I will eat your dollars, will take your money and disappear.
419 is just a game, we are the masters, you are the losers."
"Nobody feels sorry for the victims," Samuel said.
Scammers, he said, "have the belief that white men are stupid and greedy. They say the American guy has a good life. There's this belief that for every dollar they lose, the American government will pay them back in some way."

How stupid one has to be to fall for that scam? Especially this one so widely publicized.

Another example of black lawlessness. Committing a crime right by a sign posted prohibiting their actions. And in typical LA Times disgusting fashion, the lawbreaker's actions are almost celebrated, not condemned. When they have an article on illegal immigration on the front page, it is usually how poor Octavio died in the searing heat trying to break numerous federal and state laws.

If these Nigerians are doing this via email, then how the hell do they know the people who fall for their scams are white?
Talk about stupid....

My brother was scammed out of around $5k by a Nigerian. It was a pretty smart scam that involved a fraudulent certified check. The check cleared and then the bank later discovered it was fraudulent.

The next time a trifling Africoon sends me one, methinks I'll reply with a good lynching pic.

If you are a Nigerian in Nigeria, I suspect you see, in your minds eye, Americans who have computers and who are seeking yet another loophole for a quick buck as the White Americans, and black Americans as folks less likely to be in that position. Right or wrong, I expect that is the mental image the NIgerian scammer sees as he sends his bazillionth email . . .

Cheating, lying and stealing is in these peoples blood.
In this day and age one needs to carefully, identity frauds committed by Blacks, Asians and occasionally white female accomplices are out of control in most western nations.
