I know of a few women in Canada that come from Nigeria, and they have all told me to be very very careful if 

I was to go and visit Nigeria.  They all work at the bank, and have good husbands, but they also said

that Nigeria has its share of criminals and thugs.  They were all happy to be living in Canada.

  If people fall for any of these romance scams, or other phone scams, they must be fairly desperate people

who are not thinking very clearly.

   Theolder a person gets, them more they should be cautious with their money.

Geezer

Riiiiight, let’s throw them all into the same pot. Sounds extremely fair to me! 

Brings to mind the old racist cartoons of Africans throwing missionaries into a giant pot, still funny in a way. But unfortunately they've largely brought it on themselves. There's an African man sometimes stands on the odd street side of Sukhumvit (like one of the hookers, but 4 times as large and not as cute) and often speaks to me as I walk past, trying to start a conversation. I'm tempted to talk to him for a minute to see what his scam or illegal trade is, but then the police might assume I was doing real business with him. I'm making assumptions about him and others of his like I see, but I don't feel guilty about it.
