A particular one duped many people in my area after claiming that he usually bring groundnut oil from Benin Republic
They test him with small purchases and he passed, they decided to buy bulk but my mom didn't join the second buy because her mind was against it, and in the end, they didn't get the goods.
Hmmm, such scammers come in different forms. One just has to be very careful and vigilant. Sometimes they play a long game just like the one in your comment by buying people's trust until one can give them a big amount of money.
