Reply to comment by jackanape7 in Arizona man from Nigeria romance scammed $3M from 'preyed upon' women, feds say by Breab1

Yes, Nigeria ranks second in the world for the most reported scams, behind the Philippines. But third? Canada, with 7% fewer than Nigeria.

And that's just by the reported claims, not the amount. The country that has stolen the most money out of the rest of the world with Romance scams? United Kingdom.

Thinking that this is an issue that is predominately based in developing countries is short sighted.

That makes sense to me. Nigerians in Canada and the UK are scamming people from those countries. Easy math.
