Yes indeed, most people here do not trust Nigerians because of all the scams, in fact the general feeling of them is quite incredibly low for that reason - they're all seen as scammers (I guess a lot of their activities on Hive prove it too). A demonstration of how people breaking other people's trust even those they do not know (like in cyber crime) has lasting implications.

This happens with companies, organisations, governments and so on, people lose confidence (trust) and the problems start, and it often endures.

All someone who has lost trust (and respect) can do is work towards being the right person and doing things better than before...I think the same goes for groups who have done the same.
