Someone at Yahoo! Answers wrote that they are suspecting scammers from other parts of the world are using “Nigeria” or South African country names to divert suspicions. We think that this is the worst plan of all because no one (experienced enough) would believe in any “too-good-to-be-true” deals from South Africa or Nigeria.

In any case, the scammer has to divert their potential victims to South African countries because their bank accounts are there. We cannot find any simpler reasons other than this. And given a choice, the scammers would not even want to transact in these countries.

In this particular scam, the header starts with an “entity” in London UK, and quickly diverted to the “South Africa” office when it comes to dealings.

Let’s see some information regarding the originating IP:
