Hello my name is Eric and I had been scammed by the nigerian check scam. My local police wouldn't do anything about it nor would my government. I was taken for over 1200.00 and Bank of America has trashed my credit and I haven't been able to get a bank account since. So what I have been doing for the past 5 years is building up a relationship with various people in Nigeria. We have set up a fake place for the nigerians to get their cash and we in a nutshell turn them over to the proper authorities when they show up to receive it. So what I'm asking is for any information leading to these people. We do this for the absolute cost of nothing and just for the pure fact that we have been victims and this is a way to get back at them. Our government and their government WILL NOT do a thing about it so maybe it's time we did. Thank you

My email is through the link below please send all info there.

I've been met with nothing but bad emails about this and how I shouldn't be doing this or that I'm trying to scam people myself. Where in my post does it say I require any funding. I pay for this out of my own pocket to protect people like me. It's sad when people thinkit's a scam even when others are offering help.

Don't be so hard on yourself or others... although your intentions may be good, it's just difficult for most people to "trust" anyone once they've been scammed... it just makes people more cautious and protective when dealing with strangers.

This sounds dangerous. We often warn people here to be careful when they are just baiting scammers via email, but this is to the next level if you and others are seeing these people in person, in another country.

You said that you turn them in to the proper authorities . . . who is that? From what I have heard the police and the governement in Nigeria are as corrupt as the scammers, so who is it that is actually DOING something with the people you catch?

You have to realize that people here have been ripped off at some point or another and then often times get another email further down the road from someone saying they want to help them recover their funds and this turns out to be a scam too. While your intentions are good it is hard for anyone to trust someone offering help because of past situations.
