To Mandy: Charles Nwaogwugwu sounds a real name, but then, we Nigerians have come to be known as the highest scammers in the world, no thanks to some few but wickedly tenacious internet fraudsters.

If you will volunteer more details of your transactions and maybe a phone number/address, i promise to take it upon myself to do some fact finding and get back to you. If need be I will personally involve the Police just so these black sheeps get punished for smearing us hardworking and honest citizens.

You may copy me whatever info at: travels at globalconquestng com

To BEANGEL: Is Mr. Taylor Brown suppose to be a Nigerian as well?

The annoying thing about scammers out of africa is: they mostly assume nigerian citizenship whenever they want to carry out their nefarious activities.

I hope Mr. Brown has not scammed you though.

Goodluck!

To Pugg: As the trend nowadays seem to suggest being within a distance of a Nigerian means not far from being scammed it is unfortunate, while some are promoting a good image as best as they can some are hardcore hustlers with only money making schemes on their minds. Try http://www.mottolinesworldwide.com if want a professional, affordable, secure, quality and reliable taxi service especially if you are a foreigner. Take care.

To All,
Salcon Travel Agency is a HUGE FRAUD!!!

There is no address in Magodo G.R.A Estate either the phase one or two that goes like that.
Will the Number 2 of the street also be: 2, Salcon Main Building?
They even asked someone they meet on this portal to send them USD225 as courier charges for a parcel containing some phoney air ticket, Visa(!!!) that was arranged even without the physical Passport, Taxi and accommodation arrangements!

Nigeria will never issue anyone visa without the recipient physically present and even if you have the British Nationality, you need a valid visa to set foot on the Nigerian soil. Nigerian visa can NEVER be procured on arrival!

These guys are scammers, so be warned! they have collaborators all over Europe and even America and the Far east.

They use valid company names like SETRACO Construction to con people into believeing there are some Building jobs to be executed.

To be fore-warned, is to be fore-armed!

To Mandy:

There is no 'Toying' Street in Ikoyi I can bet on that! The most popular Toyin street in Lagos Nigeria is at Ikeja and it happens to be the street on which I live!

Ikoyi streets are mostly named after past colonial officers and notable Nigerians. There is no 'Toying' street in Ikoyi. The scammer is just 'Toying' with your mind. Toyin street is spelt without the 'g'.

P.O box are not contact addresses and could be used as a ruse to con you into believing that they are real. Obviously he is leading you on! tell him to send a detailed office or home contact address to you that you need to have a friend deliver the payment in cash on your behalf.

We just apprehended one of them with the help of the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) of the Nigerian Police.

Please, give more details as requested and I promise you the police will swing into action.

Hey there, I have a important question. I have been talking to a girl over there in Nigeria and is asking for some money. Not a lot, but to send it to an agency to come back over to the states. I have an address that she gave me, a phone number and a name. The agent Tiffany Mark wrote me an email and I talk to the girl I have been talking to on the phone, so I know she's real. But I cant find the location of the place on a map, because half of the roads don't show names. Can someone help me find this place out. A website would help as well.

address: 20 twins obasa,ikeja,lagos, Nigeria
Agents name: Tiffany Mark.
