Solomon Dwek (c. 1973) Syrian-Orthodox Jewish rabbi and a real estate investor from Deal, New Jersey, who admitted to $ 50,000,000 of bank fraud in connection with PNC Bank.

Michael SABO (1945) Best known for its history as a control, inventory and related things. He was notorious in 1960 and during 1990 as the “great deceiver”, and appeared on national television had more than 100 aliases, and has millions.

With the above, it will be unwise to punish stigmatize enculturation Nigerians in the Western world in nearly almost all aspects of contemporary life. Western movies, into the Nigerian and Afrikaans houses all forms of immorality, yet foreign to them. People wear costumes in the three warm-weather and a lot of scammers have recently started scamming their religious thought processes at work. Well, it’s not really a surprise for you, as Jesus warned us about two millennia ago that “in the last days will be very much in my name” to deceive. Now we have seen many, and most of them Nigerians. But why treat them with such a shame?

As previously mentioned, the Internet and mobile technology to reach the coast of the late 90 In the meantime, Western fraudsters continue to deceive people through various programs and so beswadderde as Nigerians. They also hacked into computer systems with viruses or other unwanted things against humanity. 95% of Nigerians have access to the Internet, but we hear about the most surprising Internet fraud schemes is attributed to the Nigerians.

Many of these e-mail is sent to most of us (Nigerians), but ignore it without batting an eyelid.

For example, mail fraud, you say you won the lottery and blah blah blah. Did you know you never played a game, and you fall for it. It is greed and trying to enjoy where it went. Or if someone sends mail to say someone else has died and left money to a fictitious bank account and need your help to get it for yourselves. I would not buy the idea of half a percent, because I ate. In my little research I found that these systems are in fact a fraud, inherited from the Western world itself. They want back-to-sender syndrome. What is more, we hear these days Madoffs this world, whose spoils he took all the spoil of the so-called Nigerian scam artists. 0 001% of the Nigerians, unlike most parts of the Western world is actually involved in it in any way. Their ability to bulk mail to millions to press the button, does not mean that the average Nigerian Scammer as singular events Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab on Christmas Eve in 2009 means that all Nigerians of terrorists and suicide.

Real average Nigerian is hardworking and tries to live his daily earning. The world thinks in most cases the people and places I have never been a representation of what they receive their news.

My advice to fraud-phobics is simple: Do not try to enter into the windows of the building when the door is wide open. Greed and selfishness is a sine qua-non that the scam victim.

I rest my case now.

PS

This testimony is the real Nigeria inboxed my Caucasian American, and one of my friend on Facebook:

March 15 14:54 Hi Henry – thanks for telling me about the fan site. Yes, I know and understand it – it is unfortunate that some of them are not aware of any Nigerians have a bad / assumtions know about them. There are swindlers and hustlers from anywhere, and we pray for God’s protection from these evil people. I have personally used and scammed people in real life, and most recently here in Montana, and none of them ever Nigerians.

I used to live in Southern California and my son has a medical emergency. To pay for it, I have the house to herfinansier my mother had me, he just died. I have every mortgage company I could find. I live in Orange County (I hate it there, it was not originally there are bad people) and I bought the company in Los Angeles and Ventura as well as landscapes. Any company I could find. I have only to bankruptcy.

Finally, I reached a company in Thousand Oaks, CA. They all have British accents. She was the only one of thousands of people who can help me. Have to help me me to believe. They are also Christians. I share with them the status of my son, and also that services for children who were there when my children away because I could not find a doctor who knows how to work on it – he serpent / is very rare condition ( that how we ended up in Montana).

They refiananced my house. I have $ 6000 to pay the lawyer refers to her son at home. It was ridiculous as Henry’s problem was his knee, and their main complaint was that overweight. It was not life threatening and everywhere, and I want him to 10 different doctors and have proof!

Then again refinance? She said it will not be easy as my bankruptcy, and has a loan on it, they must have a private party find. I pleaded with them and told them my case and what happened to my son. Shared with me that are Christians, too.

Everyone in the office was so good to me. Everyone said they were praying for me and my children.

I did eventually sell the house as the only doctor that I could find who knows how to work on my son was here in Montana.

On my way from California, I went to my office. I wanted to personally thank them for everything you did for us. Their faith and love of my family is still together. They were very reasonable with their prices and corporate events.

I stopped and got in and was so surprised, all were from Africa, from Nigeria. They were trained in England. An owner of a woman remains a beautiful Afrikaans woman I have ever seen in my life. They wear clothes tradtitional Nigeria.

Henry, these people were my angels here on earth. My parents were sent to cancer, my brother was a drug addict (he is now clean and found God, we thank God), my husband had fled to the bam on the train (true story) and his family, who were rich or do not care if my children are dead or alive. These Nigerians to save his family – his children – the most valuable thing in the face of this earth for me. Never, never, never forget what he did for me and my children. I am so grateful to God for them.

I agree with many people here Nigerian on Facebook.

Thank you for hearing this story. God bless you! Sincerely,
