Beware Of The Blackman Syndicate

Last night while all my friends were out celebrating New Year, I was at home with my Blogging, when my ex colleague buzz me on YM. She was all excited telling me about her boyfriend she knew on the Net. But the moment she told me, the guy had sent her a parcel, a Christmas present..I immediately stopped her from continuing her story. I told her its a scam. There are these group of Nigerian people that goes on the Net pretending to be a decent white man.Putting profile pictures of someone else, most of the time a gorgeous white man. Location are mostly UK. Wife had passed away and looking for a wife and a mother to his young child.
These men will go on the Net and start looking for their prey. Mostly Asian women. And unfortunately many women had fall for these men and thinking they were serious. Once this women fall into their trap, which normally will take around 3-4 days, this so called "gentleman" will tell the lady that he will be going on a trip.During that particular trip this guy will still be online. The next thing will be "Hey I saw this pretty necklace and i just have to get it for you. I will be sending it to you together with some cash.It should be arriving in 2days time." And these naive women will be all excited thinking there will be a parcel containing the necklace and the cash. One thing these women failed to realise is that..why would anyone sent some cash thru a Parcel when its against every country's law? Isn't nowadays they have this thing called MONEY GRAMM or WESTERN UNION? which only takes 10mins to receive.
This is the interesting part, they even have a courier company and a parcel tracking code to make it look convincing. 2 days has passed by. There will be someone pretending to be local authority calling and said the parcel has arrived but they can't release the parcel until Tax is being paid. Normally a couple of thousand. These naive ladies will fine money and will bank in the money.
Please remember that the immigration or the Custom will not ask public to bank into a personal account to pay tax. But if only the lady would call up the immigration at the right channel before banking in some money,these thing would not happen.
Now there are more new tricks these Nigerian syndicate have come up with. At times its not parcel. It can be themselves coming to this country or their households have been shipped here and many many more.
I do hope those ladies who are easily falling for gorgeous white man to think before they do stupid things. Its a lesson learned well to those who went through this ordeal and do be careful when being on the NET.
