by Yahoo boys, i mean the Nigerian Internet Fruadsters.


1. MYTH: The are very intelligent
Fact : Most of them have average or low IQ

It is popular accepted that "yahoo boys" are very smart, so much so that people would say, "why dont they use their intelligence for better things?" the truth of the matter is these guys are not as smart as you imagine. Most of them are actually less intelligent than entrepreneurs and working class people who have to be innovative, book smart and street smart to make it.
What people dont know is that Yahoo boys only follow what they call a "FORMAT" meaning everything is already laid out, somebody intelligent comes up with this format and he teaches others. There are different Formats, Romance, Alibaba, Credit Card Loading, tax return, car wrap, Come-and-carry, etc. you dont have to be smart to follow any of these formats. Hushpuppy is a proof of how unintelligent even successful Yahoo boys are. he was using his direct (personal) line and personal email address to communicate with his clients and associates with lots of incriminating materials in his personal email and personal phone line. without these, the FBI would not be able to prove he was a fraudster.
so stop respecting these guys, they are not intelligent.

2. MYTH : They can hack
Truth : 99.9% of them dont know anything about hacking
To be considered an hacker, you must actually know how front and backend program interfaces work, then be able to exploit weaknesses, bugs or loopholes in how the program is scripted. This means you must be able to understand programming languages, able to access source codes, able to build tools "executable files" that would compromise target scripts. Trust me all these boys shouting "hacking" up and down your street cannot even write a "Hello World" script in any program. in fact most of them dont even know what i mean by "hello world" because they know NOTHING about how computers or computer programs work, talkless of being able to hack.
most times you read news about some local boys hacking bank systems etc, it is all rubbish. for them to gain access to your credit card or bank information, they use basic tricks to actually steal the information from you through "social engineering" - calling you and asking you questions pretending to be from the bank or just getting basic information about you such as your Date of birth, place of birth, your schooling information and they can use these to "recover" your accounts. Dont be afraid, they cannot hack anything, they are posers and only rely on your carelessness to steal your account information.

NOTE: there are hackers, but these guys are very rare. they are 1 in 10,000 fraudsters you will meet.

3. MYTH : They are successful because of JUJU "Yahoo Plus"
Truth : the Juju is psychological
Most Nigerians already believe that boys claiming to be into yahoo are actually into JUJU. this is a big lie they want you to believe. There is no Yahoo boy that gets a kobo without "working" for it. Yahoo Plus or Not all boys have to hustle to make the money. they have to lie, they have to bomb, they have to follow up. Juju only gives them moral. It is true that most successful ones are into juju, but not because the juju makes them successful, it is because it takes a desperate and highly motivated person to go into juju. They are into Juju (yahoo plus) because they are desperate, highly motivated and focused on their Yahoo career, because of these they are more successful than the other boys that are just freelancing and not so desperate, hence people are mislead to think they are successful because of the JUJU.
Secondly, JUJU is a fraternity thing for Yahoo Boys. if you are in a fraternity, you are more likely to pull big scams because you know your guys would not betray you because they fear the JUJU bond between them. if you have a picker for example that is not in your fraternity, it is likely he would run away with your money, hence the juju part comes to play for the big time scammers.

here is an article by the Guardian Newspaper titled[b] Ritual does not give us money, Yahoo Plus boys confess[/b] https://guardian.ng/features/ritual-does-not-give-us-money-yahoo-plus-boys-confess/


4. MYTH : Only greedy people fall for their scams
TRUTH : Majority fall because they are trusting and not because they are greedy
while it is true that greed can make people fall for cheap scams, truth me; majority of victims were not victims because of greed, but because of trust. when you are a trustworthy person, you tend to trust other people easily and this makes you vulnerable to exploitation and that is what these boys do. they exploit people who trust them. Stop mocking people who are victims of scams, because most times it shows they are good people who trust easily.

5. MYTH : Only gullible people fall for their scams
TRUTH : Everyone is gullible, experience is what most victims lack.
i mean it, EVERY DAMN PERSON ON EARTH CAN BE SCAMMED. i have an uncle who is a lawyer, he would boast that no body can every scam him, yet he is one of the most scammed person i have ever met in my life. this man gets scammed by everyone around him. he was scammed so much that his mechanic made him spend over N1.3 million to repair a fault that would have cost him only N120k to fix. His electrician collected over N200k to just fix his meter (nothing was wrong with the meter). There is no human that has ever lived that cannot be scammed, that you know how some scammers work, does not mean you know everything, you only know what your experience or experience of other people teaches you, when something new comes up, that fits your fancy or need, you will fall for the scam

Obviously!

One stuup1d yahoo boy too wanted to scam his father not me

you seem to be into it already.

you're right, especially with the "not too smart or smart at all" line. I know a lot of my street niggas who are into fraud and trust me when I tell you most of this guys are daft. some can't even write clear English not to talk of holding up a good convo without their so called format. but what do I know kwanu, dem get money pass me.

I was loving your write up till you said Juju doesn't work. My brother u no know wetin u they talk. Infact you're more unintelligent than the yahoo boys. Juju works like mad. Irumole is extremely real. Fetish Soap, rings and other things work like mad. Don't be stupiiid

you are the one that should not be stupiid

Juju doesn't give money but people use juju to swindle someone of his money.That is what yahoo plus does.It started with a conversation.Before you know it you have giving out your valuable's to the scammer if you pay attention to him.I still remembered touch and follow sex jazz that aboki used to sell to boys in those days.When you follow the aboki's instructions you will use the charm to knack as many girls as you like.There is also a charm call do-as-i-say.Most swindlers have use it to scam most Nigerian ladies.It works only if you pay attention to the swindlers conversation with you.Your eyes will become clearer after the culprit might have escape.

I don't agree with number 1.

I agree with the other guy that said OP is right till he said juju doesn't work..
One important part u omitted is that u didn't recognize that some if not most of the so called Plus that u called desperate are actually ritualists, except you mean to tell me that money ritual or jazz doesn't exist.. and so yahoo lifestyle is a perfect cover up for these ritualists.. the desperate "hardworking" ones according to d OP are dose that know the price of what they are signing up for and they are ready to pay.

Joysticks:
Juju doesn't give money but people use juju to swindle someone of his money.That is what yahoo plus does.It started with a conversation.Before you know it you have giving out your valuable's to the scammer if you pay attention to him.I still remembered touch and follow sex jazz that aboki used to sell to boys in those days.When you follow the aboki's instructions you will use the charm to knack as many girls as you like.There is also a charm call do-as-i-say.Most swindlers have use it to scam most Nigerian ladies.It works only if you pay attention to the swindlers conversation with you.Your eyes will become clearer after the culprit might have escape.

touch and follow are all stories sir. you would be surprised how many girls would remove their pants if only you ask them with confidence. girls also want sex. i had guys when i was in akure that toast girls for fun and you would almost think they were using juju, cos i could not believe how many girls were so willing to have sex with them right from the start. before i knew it i was also catching fun with this guys until i outgrew it as it was just a waste of time and focus. sex is extremely easy to get.

as for the "do as i say" charm, lol. bro, forget it, confidence is very key in human psychology. same thing pastors use. this is why Scammers are called "CONFIDENCE MAN", which was a term used to describe scammers. juju gives scammers here in nigeria a lot of confidence and this in turn helps them get a lot of result not the juju

exactly what i am saying. there is no where that money appears. you work for the money legally or illegally, you still work and get paid. juju does give money, it gives confidence and the users are highly motivated with is what we need most times to succeed

I'm not saying that. I'm only trying to point out that fraud is not as easy as it seems. Despite the fact that there is a laid out template (format) for each type of fraud, doesn't necessarily guarantee a hit. Just remember that for every successful yahoo boy you see; there are 50 more unsuccessful ones who could not hot a nickel despite following the format.
You think it's easy to convince a person to send you thousands of dollars, make a person fall in love? I'm not saying they are all intelligent though, but you got to give credit to their cunning abilities. Ling story short: there are intelligent fraudsters, just as there are dumb fvcks among them.

i did not say there are no intelligent fraudsters, i said most of them are as average as the general population is. there are several factors that must come into play to be sucessful in a scam, even a very stupid person can succeed in scaming a person of millions or making some one fall in love with them. jsut saying the word "i love you" is enough to get some women or men hooked and ready to spend. Stupid silly girls are playing on the intelligence of rich old men and collecting millions from them by just telling very simply lies, it does not take a lot of intelligence. most of these formats are extremely simply and monotonous.

While it is true that most of these fraudsters started due to poverty, they actually continue because they have no conscience. they are driven by greed.


PLEASE NOTE: They are not the only thieves in our society. Bankers, Lawyers, Ceos of comapnies and industries, Politicians etc are also scammers.

even a reasonable yahoo boy can write this article while still in the business of scamming. he could just write it to educate others, it does not mean he is not into it or would stop doing it,... sometimes after making money, people want to just give back to the society and that could come in forms like this.

You don't get it.
These Yahoo boys are not as successful as they seem.
You don't know the number of trials they do before a successful scam but you
assume they are smart because some manage to make it with the help of numbers game and chance.

Most remain in penury due to zero luck.
