SCAMMERS PSYCHOLOGY PART TWO

 

The Black Dollars.

The dollar is a currency that can trigger each and every ones greed yet few people can identify what an original dollar is if it’s given to them physically unless they go to the experts or foreign exchange traders and seek experts observation. This ignorance is what the scammer manipulates and acquires all the money he wants from an individual or a target.

Unlike the previous type of scam of money bundles, this black dollar scam is scripted because it involves telling the same story repeatedly because it involves big sums of money at stake so it needs trust building between the scammer and the target.

How it’s done.

Walking down the street you come across an individual that looks troubled, illiterate and really pitiable that it attracts your desire to come in and help the situation. Being illiterate they will pronounce a word slightly closer to their intended word but puts you in a situation to guess and suggest the right word, for example “Forest blue  Esangibwa wa?”  Here you will guess which word is similar and you suggest a forex beaural. The he will ask is that where they sell this type of money? You say yes then he will start to narrate a story while showing he doesn’t understand anything about dollars.

You see I’m illiterate but I have been working in a foreigners home as a house helper but he has not been paying me for some time so I decided to leave and find a way back home but I’m stranded right now  I don’t have any money on me except this money that I got from his bedroom so they told me I need to get to that place to exchange it so will you help me and escort me there. That’s the first part.

Then as you talk there comes another person who is probably a gang member who interrupts you and start getting interested at a very high speed that it makes you think you are being left out of the deal then all your attention is captured. Then he will say let’s have a look at the money you have, upon showing this new guy he will say there is a problem with this money we need to first confirm if its genuine. This is when the first one will say you people I am tired you guys go and confirm and find me back here but how will I trust you without leaving anything with me as security? Then the last person who joined will be the first to put in all he has in his pockets including mobile phones then they will ask the target how about you won’t you put in anything as security?

This is when the game of scamming you start, first you surrender your belongings so as to be trusted. The you go with the second person to a shop or any where then he will pretend he got a dealer who understands dollars so he has exchanged it to local currency, he comes back with the money in hands making you believe he exchanged it.

So when you go back to the first scammer if he is still around that means they still need to scam you or they both will have disappeared with your belongings. Most people here is where the process end but depending on what they want from you it can continue.

When you go back to the owner of the money, the one you went with will say they told me this is a lot of money it need to be cleared by the American embassy so you need to disclose the source and purpose of the money before its cleared.

The new twist in the Game

After thinking about how to clear the dollars, here they will make a plan of registering of an NGO and claim the money was sent to us as a donation here you start facilitating the owner of money with lunch transport and accommodation and this can take months as they scam you dry. To buy your trust they even give you the responsibility of keeping the money as they register the Ngo and they tell you to keep it a top secret since robbers may attack you if they find out you have huge amount of dollars I your house so for safety you keep the secret to yourself. With the fake money in your possession you can surrender all you have including house hold property since you expect to buy new ones when the deal is done.

 

The only way out of this is by running bankrupt or telling the secret to someone who will wake you up to realise you are being scammed  because all the money you give them they do nothing but eat it until they disappear leaving you with fake money that may get you arrested by authorities.

Here if you don’t control your greet for easy money chances are high you will fall victim.
