Nigerian Prince scam

The Nigerian Prince scam is a type of online fraud where someone falsely claims to be a wealthy individual, often a prince, needing help to transfer large sums of money out of their country. They request your assistance and often ask for personal information or an upfront fee, promising a bigger reward. In reality, there is no prince or money, and the scammer's goal is to steal your money or personal details. It preys on greed or hope for quick riches, exploiting trust through convincing storytelling and false identities.
