A friend of mine fell for one of these scams, the guy said he was on a ship and he would soon be back home, She told me everything nd I told her it was a scam but she was already in love, she told me they did video call, it was my first time of hearing about it too so when she talked about video call, I didn't know how to convince her anymore, so I just told her to be careful, then it happened. his mum and daughter are in Nigeria, the mum fell in the bathroom, he cant transfer at the moment, so he asked her to help, another day it was water they want to buy, another day they want to buy something in provision store, she should transfer money to the guy who owns it blah blah blah, to cut it short, the total amount she transferred was 250k before the guy now confess that he has been lying to her and he was a Nigerian too, that he is now in love with her which is the reason for the confession...

I think the wanted something and the person sold it to her. Apparently maybe she wanted a better life outside the country. The urge to leave Nigeria is now huge, sometimes people use this as a scam method. Most Nigerian young ladies wants men who are overseas, and a potential scammer already knows this.
The lady would think "what's sending him 250k, if he would eventually take me abroad" you know, something like this.
These women do the mental maths and they feel that they'll eventually gain at the end, so they just do it anyway.
For the lady, it was sad to see that she was in love, but sadly she was sold the dream she wanted and she got hooked
Yeah you are right, she wanted a man who was better than her, all ladies want this tho
and even though the signs were glaring at her, she ignored them until the guy confessed
I think she chose to not believe your warnings or the red flags. In reality,there might be regular and well-meaning young men around her who might want her, but she might probably reject them all for a person as that scammer. Some women are like this.
