Like in everything in life, there are always two side of the medal. Like the black market in the real world, there people that always see an opportunity make profit from people with no ethic. That why you should be aware from scammer. If you don’t want to be a victim and win against the bad guy, you must like the quote of the famous Sun Tzu “know your enemies”.

The so-called Russian and Nigerian scams stand for wholly dissimilar organized-crime traditions; they therefore tend to use altogether different breeds of approaches.”
And what the most funny is, I get a scam attempt who failed from a nigerian guy who try to scam me a month ago trough my skype message service, but I remebrer to not take candies from stranger and he faild to his attempt. Enough talk and take a look to the article below for more information.
