This 30 y o Nigerian man from Enugu desperately needs a new bling watch to impress the Missus, and a third phone wouldn´t hurt either. Being a Nigerian scammer that he is, he grabs a generic "US army uniforms" picture from the web and registers on Facebook as Bryan Hicks from Chattannooga, Tennessee and on Mydailyflog as Bill Zondervan from United States, and continues chatting to EVERY woman he can find.
Guess what his money needs are going to be.

Week starts with a Nigerian multitalent: Jozy Okpo Josep from Lagos, Nigeria makes the best of his lifetime and registered just quite over a dozen of military scam chat profiles on Skype using more than 15 different identities, to steal money from women.
I don´t think this is an unusual military scammer

Lawal Saheed is the "Nigerian Twit Of The Day". Scamming while pretending to be a white male model and babbling about internet pay methods on this private Facebook. Maybe one thing results from the other.

Scamming with this (very very often abused) white man´s pics - and the resulting money from women victims - has enabled this Nigerian from Enugu to get a big car, which he proudly displays on his private Facebook
His other talents include job scams "to live and work in the US".

Not surprisingly, scammers scam Africans as well.
Left picture used for fake profiles to scam African men shows a known model. The picture in the middle shows the work tool with which he registers profile after profile after profile... and the picture to the right shows the mass email writer behind the fake profiles using this girl´s pics.
How many victims have paid for this laptop I wonder...
before impersonating women on the internet, this Nigerian (now already in Ghana) was a visa seeker looking for a "sugar mommy".

Getting ready for another night of sedulous profile registering and massmail sending a.k.a. SCAMMING, this Nigerian 27 y o graphic designer takes a long shot of liquor and then starts his working day by checking his messages on the half a dozen dating sites where he registered as this unknown white man in picture 3.

This is a normal day and a normal life for this Nigerian :
Cheating women anywhere for money

Scamboi in action (*wink*).
After a hard night of work pretending to be a known adult model on Skype, scamming men on the internet, at least this Ghanaian talent shares what he gets with the Missus.

The first photo shows a military man (RIP). The second one is the Ghanaian youth delinquent who continues registering fake profiles with this man´s pictures across the internet.
Just an everyday example of who really IS behind this
Credits to mariko for discovering this.

Try to tell your kids, especially DAUGHTERS, not to accept ANY friend request and not to upload dozens of pictures viewable for NON-friends

"Hi everybody i found this and i am so upset... this is the real me..
im sorry u guys were fooled and i now have found 3 different people impersonating me"

Most people still don´t have an idea of the extent of this Nigerian fake profile mass registering industry (aka "scamming")

Even if the likelihood of a Nigerian scammer grabbing exactly her pictures for a string of fake profiles on sites is relatively low when you consider the billions of photos that are out there, something like this truly MIGHT happen.

These are instructions from romance scammer to victim what to tell to the bank clerks IF they ask or want to warn:

"P.S. Some more important instructions for you:
You could be asked for the purpose and destination of a transfer you are sending.
If you don’t want a delay of transfer procedure you should say that the money is for your friend, relative, business partner and etc.
You’d better also indicate that you know the receiver personally and that these funds are earned but yourself.
All those inquiries are for the financial regulations in receiver’s country, so please give your answers very serious and carefully not to make a delay in transfer."

Half a dozen victims of this scammer have reported this one on RS in the past 10 days alone

Why scammers do it:
1. cool cars
2. expensive trainers
3. nice cellphones ("Mine is bigger than yours!") for mobile scamming

Never send money to "military" or "engineers" in Ghana!
