The USA govt seized 7.5 million illicit crypto accounts from Nigeria and Russia.

According to the news, the fraudster scams his victims by requesting them to send money to "false escrow entities" that their fund will use to invest into the oil and gas industry.

Assets include a Binance account, 19 BTC, 39 ETC, and over 156 TRX.

According to the news, fake accounts were opened by scammers that include different institutions.

This scam of a thing is becoming alarming and is ruining our nation. Although, it includes a fraudster from Russia too. My own concern is my nation. It is damaging our noble country's image internationally. It is unfair. Can Nigerians be trusted internationally as they used to be in the 80s anymore?

This is scamming issue in Nigeria is becoming something else. It's so unbearable and condemnable and it's tarnishing the image of Nigeria across the world to the extend that everyone sees all Nigerian as scammers.
I really feel bad about the black image that scammers have painted the country.
