Loan Scam Alert !!!!!?

There are many loan scams that are being posted in this area. One user, using the ID "chris p" is scamming loans from Nigeria. He asks for significant advance fees -- typically over £200 -- as "security" for his "loans" and also asks for your bank details.

I have already filed violation notices on several of his posts. Be warned that if you contact him or any of the other scammers that post those ads you WILL lose any money you send him AND your bank account will be drained if you are foolish enough to provide your bank details to him.

You have been warned!

Additional Details

OK, Zippy, if you want to ding me for not "Asking a question," have a nut. I'll just keep posting warnings until your mouse-finger falls off!

Or maybe you're just one of those dirtbag SCAMMERS?

Well, hey! We hear from the scumbag scammer himself!

Well, buddy, first off, your advance-fee "loans" are illegal. Then there's the issue of your "State Certified Lenders Association Nigeria" certificates -- since there's no such body in Nigeria. Cute "certificate" though!

Me foolish? Maybe. American? Probably. But at least I do have a legitimate JOB unlike scam artists such as yourself.

If nothing else, Sunshine, read the damn Community Guidelines and stop spamming ads on Yahoo! Answers! To put it in the British vernacular: Sod off!

Hey, one more thing, scam-boy. Why is it that you don't allow e-mail or IM? Are you so afraid of being assaulted by your victims? Or are you just a two-bit scammer hiding behind a few dozen various IDs? More likely a small army of scammers working shifts at some coffee house in Lagos!

Its fantastic that ya warning people against all this conman who victimised others, especially those who are sympathetically cornered to a point of desperation for money. Yea money can solve alot of problems and my heart goes to those in genuine situations but do play smart. No stranger would offer to lend you money just because he likes 'dealing with honest people.'

Report Abuse

and your comment to the scammer about community guidelines...try following them yourself hypocrite

you say you have a real job? landlord is not a real job...its a useless middleman position, making money off of nothing

Report Abuse

its sad that you think people are stupid enough, where you have to waste yours, ours, and yahoo answers time to point out things that should be obvious to anyone with common sense.

Or maybe you’re stupid enough to almost fall for it, and you think everyone else is stupid like you
