This is the 419 Nigerian Prince scam, they say they will share millions with you but need your SSN, bank account number, etc to establish a transfer. It is an old scam. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_scam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance-fee_scam in this case they are Japanese web developers. The old saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is."
- coderc 2y agoThe person I spoke to didn't say anything about needing my SSN, or bank account number, or any sort of "advance-fee". "Nigerians" don't usually offer to win contracts, show their faces on the webcam, chat with you for hours, have you stand in for an interview, complete work, and THEN ask for 50% payment after it's all done. I don't think it's this. Not even close.
- orionblastar 2y agoI have heard about the scam before somewhere. If not 419, then it is something else.
- KomoD 2y agoIt definitely isn't? Doesn't sound like the nigerian prince scam whatsoever. They do probably just want a Upwork/Fiverr account, will they do less than legal things with it and get you banned, yeah probably.
