I work at a chat support agent for an unemployment agency. Little do these scammers know, we can see exactly where they are writing in from. Every single day, my company is having to find new ways to prevent them getting unemployment funds. Nearly 75% of my chats, are based in Nigeria. We can’t outright call them out either. We have to submit a form that could take weeks to be reviewed, and by then? They’ve figured out a new way to scam. It’s pathetic. They aren’t only stealing someone’s identity- but federal funding we barely have to begin with.

Knowing how I feel about people just saying they will do anything for “love” was a huge red flag to me and also the fact that not only have I been in the military and have family that is currently in the military and have dated people that have been in the military and have friends that are also in the military, yeah, I wasn’t falling for that bullshit. I messed with the person for a while but when he started asking me for money, I laughed and laughed and laughed! Then I said what makes you think that I’d give you anything? If you’re in the “military”, I know for a fact that they would not let a soldier get stuck somewhere without finding a way home or back to the base. Also it was really fishy when the person could not answer where they went to basic or what job/ MOS they had. Two very basic questions. Not only that he kept sending me pictures that were old because he said he was over seas at the time but he wasn’t wearing any of the new uniforms and driving a civilian vehicle. 🤔 Nope, didn’t fall for any of that crap.

You know what crazy scammers have been on the rise since the pandemic started

[@photolabguy]

Just imagine how much more successful these scammers would be if they hired someone to not write in broken english. Scary.

[@SECYBERSAFE]

Some of these scammers can write pretty good English. Most can't

[@Rainaman-]

@@SECYBERSAFE yeah, but the script is trash. They should have hired an English major on fiverr to write a script and double the profit

[@SECYBERSAFE]

@@Rainaman- lol, perhaps. But this exposes them to the risk of getting caught. More eyes and ears equals more vulnerability in their scam plans. Don't ask me how I know 😈

I'm Nigerian born and bred here, it's crazy how normal scamming has become, i mean even guys that dont need to do it do, it's an open secret. Another crazy thing which I guess shouldn't be crazy is what alot of those guys do with the money, I mean...if you didn't really work hard to earn your money the legit way you wouldn't know the value of it. Its just sad.

[@SECYBERSAFE]

I am a Nigerian also. Quite sad

[@t1m0fy67]

I'm also Nigerian and all they are doing is tarnishing the country's name some people from there are nice but most are scammers

[@davidhasselhoff1330]

It is good are We all say Nigeria but the truth be told it is people from the Southern part of the Country that are doing this

This is government’s responsibility to protect unemployment payments and better regulate it

[@Christina-cm1hr]

I work for a major bank and was pulled from my department to help with the high influx of these unemployment claims. It was crazy.

[@akoridavid3988]

I know many people here in Nigeria who do this, and when I read the chat between them and their so called clients, its so funny.
