    Scams & Confidence Tricksters: Nigerian scammers
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you walk the busy streets of KL, you'd probably observe many "Black" guys. Though not all, majority are from Nigeria. They are here on diplomatic visa, while here it is their very most opportunity to do those illegal business. Like the widely known "Black leaf", which we said that some "consignment" of black american dollars could be made real with a few daps of chemical. Many, even professional businessmen has been fooled with this scam. They will sell you black coater paper where they claim is made to smuggle the US dollars undetected and then some very expensive chemical will be used to made it legal tender.

    They will do many tricks to make sure you fall for it. Don't believe it!! It's just fake. So, if a black guy approaches you with a funny accent, he could be another Nigerian on a loose to scout for a victim.
