They started the original "Nigerian Prince" email scam, but have expanded into so much more!
Join Angela and Brian as we slog through the grimy slums of Nigeria and Ghana - home of one of the oldest, most sophisticated, and most successful scamming organizations: The Yahoo Boys.
In this episode, we discuss the broad diversity of scams these techno-theives are involved in, their extravagant and lavish lifestyles, scammer universities, and so much more.
We also explore what may be the most disturbing aspect of these criminals: their involvement in bloodthirsty cult rituals and murders.
If you are on the internet, have an email account, are on social media or an online dating site, or even have TEXT ON YOUR PHONE, chances are you have been contacted at least once by one of the Yahoo Boys.
Don't open another email from an unknown sender or answer a flirty message from a sexy little tart saying "hello" on Facebook until you've listened to this two-part special episode of the WritersWeekly Podcast.
