By now, everyone has heard of the infamous "Nigerian Check Scam" and if you've sold anything of value on Craigslist you've probably had someone try to run this game on you. (If not, you can read the story here: https://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/article/554432/just-five-gangs-nigeria-behind-most-craigslist-buyer-scams/)
I noticed today that Nigeria is the top country in searching the word "cryptocurrency" on google. Does this mean we are in for another new wave of scams from these gangs or is it a reflection of the Nigerian people trying to find ways out of poverty by investing in currency that has been making lots of headlines for it's big price swings.
