@Nox:
theres no discrimination at all ... im sorry to tell you that, after ive been told these kind of stories by my senior partner, who spent nearly 10 years down there, especially nigeria, ivory coast, ghana, cameroon, etc. at first i couldnt believe at all what ive heard until ive seen it with my own eyes :shock: and of course partly from hearsay and partly from experience in a normal everydays life ... these situations we have read and still will be reading in newspapers, mostly local headlines…
okay, recent example (lets say very low damage in comparison to other things that happened and i know the facts) what happened 2 months ago, local situation, not far away from my main residence, vienna, austria , to count it in USD, a couple from the south of austria, have been defraud for around 20.000.- USD… how come?
local investigations (old mate from school 8) ) say that 2 black african men (one is believed to come from senegal, the other from nigeria) offered per internet mails (the correct term would be spam i guess) a “good business offer” and result they caught (unfortunately) this (poor and of course stupid) couple to prefinance some airplane tickets, hotel stay, etc. ... result: 20 grand minus
offered business deal in short words:
obviously these two men had documents with them saying that one of them was a heir to a former owner of several minefields (gold), but unfortunately his father died unexpected and of course *LOL* there was no last will and testament, to cut this short, they needed somebody to help them out with some money for lawyer, several officers, etc. willing to transfer the whole (!!! couple could be fucked - sorry for term - for attempted illegal money laundering) sum of money to their account and therefore this couple was promised 50% of the heir….
guess what happened?
you think this is sick? far too easy, take a ticket and go down there, but theres nothing to say against the country, wonderful landscapes, really beautiful nature, just right for trading, especially commodities (for the mass, cheap stuff, stuff for everyday, etc.) ... go to a local internet cafe, just for the start, and this internetcafe like all the others there, is overfilled with people sending out this kind of sick shit whole day long, as i mentioned before its offered everything from business (gold, oil, diamonds, etc.) to help queries to single-platforms, where they post a picture of a “obviously good looking young woman” and now guess whos sitting in front of the screens chatting with the “interested flirtpartner” asking to send money, maybe to come to your country to be a little bit “wifey”?
right you got it!
i will cut this now, because the more you think about this, the more it really sucks ... and above mentioned examples are just the type of “soft stuff” ... there are much more “hardcore-you-never-belive-in-your-life-stuff” which i wont mention in this forum…
to come back to the first line, its not about discrimination at all, its just true hard facts, of course there are also gangs and bunches from the east, mainly from romania, ukraine, etc. you mainly find on platforms like ebay, etc. but these groups are so small, like a minority…
as i said in a post before, there is really a big (smart and those guys just know how to deal with peoples greed on a psychological basis) machinery behind all this, kind of multi million dollar fraud business per year.
this is my final comment about this thread and therefore no further conversation about this topic.
thank you for your attention in this quite critical topic
