Morning all,
Please move to non-public if more suitable, I don't know my way around yet..đ
Brilliant livestream yesterday from Mr P and the team at SBC, an explosive start with the first 2 certainly..
So, a question was asked by one of the lads that got me, and probably everyone present, thinking. And I wondered what everyone thought as it wasn't possible to go onto detail in the chat.
On Pricky's city call, he was asked whether the clerk in the outlet was Black or White, I've not heard this asked before and would be interested to hear everyone's thoughts...
Has word gotten round that there are Nigerian guys working in these outlets and dollars are chopped and things don't go to plan?
Are they tarring everyone with the same brush and just assuming that because they are Nigerian, they are like them and will try to chop? We all know this isn't the case with the majority of Nigerian people but we're not dealing with sensible, rational people with these scammers
Are they just generally racist like the guy from the filling station call? Which doesn't really make sense but...
Is it because they are dealing with a White victim, they assume that White people don't trust Black people and they can play on that? It's an awful thought but possible..
These people are scumbags in general, but ot seemed to reach a new level yesterday..
What's everyone's take on it?
Mr. K

It's possible that the scammer or someone the scammer knew was baited before. Because they are scammers themselves, they are probably biased into thinking black people are more likely to be scammers but it's also possible (probably more likely in my opinion) that they expect black people to know more about 419 and try to stop the transaction or warn the victim.
Regarding your suggestion that they are trying to play on white people mistrusting black people, I have definitely encountered this before when a scammer claims to be in the West and I introduce a dollar chopper in Africa. I have been told that all Nigerians are scammers and I remember one scammer I baited who also compared black people to monkeys (he was almost certainly black himself). The purpose of this was to make me trust the scammer more - he told me that the chopper was a terrorist in Ghana who was wanted by the FBI and that it was not possible for him to be a terrorist because apparently in the USA anyone who is a terrorist will be executed. Unfortunately for him, my character was not convinced by the racist stereotypes but continued to believe all of the chopper's lies, no matter how outrageous they were.

I'd say they believe that a fellow Nigerian is less likely to be fooled by 419 than a white person. That said, there is a type of 419 that preys on fellow Nigerians. It is called 'local'.
