How do you spot a yahoo boy?
You will understand yahoo boys meaning after you learn the differences between yahoo boys and real fraudsters:
- Sakawa boys engage in non-risky activities like false stories that attract well-wishers or sugar boys. Actual fraudsters take the game to a higher level like identity fraud, drugs, human trafficking, and more hence prosper more than Sakawa boys. However, yahoo boys have also started to take part in these risky activities.
- Actual scammers are vengeful because they do not tolerate betrayal in the team, but yahoo boys settle their differences quickly.
- Real fraudsters are not afraid to meet their victims in face-to-face conversations while yahoo boys prefer to complete the transaction online.
- Actual fraudsters associate themselves with multi-million companies and businesses like oil companies and banks.
- Most yahoo boys have basic education, but genuine fraudsters are highly educated. For example, they can speak several foreign languages, and they behave like professionals.
- Sakawa boys brag about their wealth, but they never reveal the sources of their wealth, but real scammers are secretive about their businesses.
- The society frowns upon yahoo boys but not actual fraudsters because the latter are more secretive that the former hence it is difficult to identify a real scammer.
Everyone in society should condemn yahoo boys culture. The government cannot do much to stop fraud if families cover-up for other family members. EFCC, a Nigerian anti-graft agency, investigates financial crimes like internet financially related crimes, money laundering, bank-related malpractices, and Advance Fee Fraud must stop being lenient on most notorious OPF 419 cybercriminals because of influential leaders who protect them.
