American woman duped by “Yahoo boys” shares experience, still admires Nigerian Men

An unidentified American woman has recounted how two internet fraudsters, popularly referred to as “Yahoo boys,” defrauded her in elaborate romance scams.

Despite her ordeal, the woman, who is slightly over 50, expressed admiration for Nigerian men, calling them the “sexiest and most handsome men on this planet.”

In a video that went viral on Sunday, the woman revealed that she encountered one of the scammers on TikTok in 2020. She shared the picture the fraudster used to deceive her, alongside his real identity, which she discovered accidentally.

According to her, she became aware of his true persona after he mistakenly called her using his Nigerian phone number, leading to the revelation of his real name and details about his girlfriend, whom he plans to marry.

The video has sparked mixed reactions online, with some expressing sympathy for her loss while others criticized her for being gullible.

“Back in 2020, I met this man, I was with him for ten months, and I got sick of him because he was always demanding money. He always wanted more and more, so I decided to say enough was enough because one day he made a mistake and called me from a Nigerian phone number, and he was trying to play it off that it was his friend’s number.

“So when I was finally done that I didn’t want to have anything to do with him again, he opened up to me. Now, he is about to get married to his Nigerian girlfriend (showed their picture).

“May God bless them and hopefully they have a long life together. God will bless their relationship. I also congratulated him. And I hope everything goes well for him,” she said.

Speaking on her experience, she added, “This second was a little different. He was more polite and considered my feelings, but then after a year with him, he decided to come out and tell me the truth that he was a young Nigerian boy trying to put himself through school and his mother was very sick. And he kept thanking me because I saved his mother’s life.”

“That one doesn’t hurt me much because I know that the money went for good. The other guy, that’s not good because I used to see videos of him throwing money around and spending it on Nigerian hook-up girls. I’m over it. I will bounce back one day.

“I still have love for the Nigerian people, the men are the sexiest and most handsome men on this planet. I pray that nothing like this ever happen to me again because now I know all those secrets. They destroyed my life financially. Please be safe in that country because I know that a lot of the people there are struggiling. But you have to remember that a lot of American women are struggling too because it is difficult being a woman here and struggling too especially when you don’t have partner.”
