>I don't think people are scammers because their career choices are limited. My evidence is mostly anecdotal, but these scammers (when they are successful) do not typically exhibit behavior consistent with people trying to build long term financial security. The aim is not necessarily to convert everyone but to show the younger ones who have not started scamming that there is an alternative. As it is now, quite a number of people do not believe that young people can make quite a lot of sustainable income online going legit. It would be difficult to make those that do not live where there are role models to understand how it is when you do not have one. Just appreciate that you have the stories that come from the valley to motivate you. Nigerians are not inherently bad, most of them just want to make money and be successful. If they see alternatives, they will try them. I just hope I can show them that of they put half the effort they put in scamming (believe me it is quite a lot)into creating a startup, the outcome will be much better.
