OP should listen to this episode of This American Life about these guys who scammed a Nigerian scammer. Got the scammer to run around a wartorn foreign country for weeks trying to get the money they said they were going to bring him.
http://tal.fm/363/1
It's full of shit like getting the Nigerian scammer to meet them an airport in near the Durfur border in Chad (a Muslim country) holding a sign that says:
LOOKING FOR THE TWAT MUHAMMAD
When they decided it was time to end the con on the Nigerian before he got killed, they told him his mother had died and he needed to get back to Nigeria.

Nigerians run like 99 percent of all scams. What the fuck is wrong with their country do they have nothing better to do them scam Americans/ Canadians?

Apparently they believe we are suckers, and OP's story confirms they are correct.

What is wrong with Nigeria is that it is filled with human being who are borns into poverty, and in Nigeria or the surrounding area there seems like at some point there must have been some individual or group of innovators who took the models already being used by western spammers and used the same tools to commit fraud, since they really have nothing to lose. It's an interesting question though, what factors caused them to be infamous in this way.
I think the problem lies with those that fall for scams operated by people with little to no formal education, and most of the time just copy/paste form letters. I can't really blame the scammers as much as those who apparently have access to significant resources but are much less innovative and clever. I understand getting mad, but in terms of Nigerians who are co-opted into criminal gangs I feel like they are likely to be victims themselves.
Scam-baiting is pretty funny, but resenting Nigerians or stereotyping them like that is wrong. The lack of cultural understanding between America and the rest of the world is to blame as much as the scammers themselves.

didn't I hear the reason was that they were fishers and America kept spilling oil killing all their fish, so then they turned into pirates and scammers out of revenge?
it prolly started out as prank calls like yo I think you forgot your oil over here

Yeah, I wouldn't take this to that twat Judge Judy. She's the biggest bitch on TV & would rip the OP apart about doing that. Fuck her!!
However, I would call or visit your local District Attorney & see what he thinks about the situation. Personally, I like the idea of setting that broad up by getting 1 of your good buddies to act like he's willing to dish out some dough-re-mi to the chick. Have her meet him at some specified location & you be hiding somewhere close filming the entire transaction. Of course, have your pal hand over an envelope with some Monopoly money or just some pieces-of-paper in it. You jump out of your pre-arranged hiding place & let the snatch know you're taking that to the D.A. for prosecution purposes. Then watch her face go numb with "Damn! He has me on tape!"
Or just write it off & get hammered tonight. Lesson learned.

Thanks for that link koods!

We can all hate and criticize OP but the fact of the matter is he never gave us/ filled in the fucking details! He's not going to. We made such a big deal out of it he must be situationally obligated not to because embarrassment. Women seeking a man? Man seeking a man? We will never know!

you'd think there would be rookies starting out over in Nigeria, and they from time to time would fuck up and do it wrong starting out, like send me 1 million dollars so I can become a Nigeria prince and when I do ill make you my queen

I'm sure most places don't do this but cops in area would probably do at least some investigating especially if the scammed are targeting multiple people. Hell the cops came to my house once yo arrest my girlfriend after she missed her court date for a freaking tailgating ticket. She tried to just plead guilty and pay it like you used to be able too with any traffic violation, but now they force you to go to court to pay the damn court costs also. It's a friggin racket. She has never been in trouble with the law before and only missed it because me and her had a stomach virus.
I see on my local news warnings of different scams going around. Most of them the scammers target older people, dum dums, and really sweet generous trusting people who have faith in humanity only to have their sound crushed by dishonest scumcocks.
Hit Em back op. Hit Em hard, hit Em fast, hit Em where it hurts, hit the baseball, hit that poon,and hit the jackpot.

seriously the last thing you want to do to lonely depressed men with no lives trying to pickup women off a phone app is to try and scam them out of food without even meeting them. Its slowly revealing the true natural of women
