What makes Nigerian scammers skilled at impersonating people? Is their success a result of intelligence or other factors?

Their relative success, despite their lack of skill, can only mean that their victims do not wish to see. Victims ignore the red flags and willingly enter a state of suspended disbelief, which allows them to enjoy the fraudster’s fictional narrative and accept it as plausible.

Little does it matter that their grammar is far from perfect. These words in themselves are sufficient to activate a frame of idealized romantic love, a beautiful tapestry of lies, which is exactly what their victims yearn for, and which is nothing more than a commercial transaction in disguise.

This narrative is an attractive web of words with terms such as honor, love, and cherish. It also includes trust and a forever relationship filled with intimate moments, long walks on the beach, and moonlight strolls. The fraudsters call the victim their beautiful angel, my queen, beloved princess, and darling wife. They claim that destiny brought them together as they make tender promises of marriage that they do not plan to keep.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

In my opinion, Nigerian scammers are not skilled at impersonating people. I have a long list of reasons why, ranging from their utter lack of world knowledge and cultural information to their texts in English that make grammar books weep. But in the end, nothing of this really matters. The undeniable truth is that they impersonate doctors, generals, oilriggers, and celebrities, and manage to get away with it… as they laugh all the way to the bank.
