I will keep an eye out for Scarlett Johansson and CZJ, cant have them alien clones wasting good baiting time. :p

I was thinking to myself "what in the world would motivate a Badger to waist his/her time as well as a baiter". It could be a hierarchical issue. They think that baiters are conning the cons. So, if they con the baiters by wasting their time, they are; in their warped way of thinking, conning the cons who con cons. (thats a mouthful...) They dont see it as helping people, but as playing a game in which a hierarchy is placed and they want to be on top of. This seems to be what my psychology brain is telling me, not quite sure how accurate it is.

If the IP originates to Nigeria there is no way he/she could be a badger. It would be a complete and total waste of good scamming time.

Just a note that not everyone from Nigeria who gets on the net is a scammer, and I don't think people should believe that we believe that they are. I don't mean to offend you or anyone else, NN, but I think this post sends the wrong message.

@ Loco: uhh, yes! I think. Or not. I don't think it's a matter of being at the top of the hierarchy, but moreso a rotten character who thinks it's fun to mess with people with good intentions.

@Chortle: That was never NN's point. We were talking about badgers, which means we are communicating with people that pretend to be lads. What NN means is "If it comes from Nigeria, and acts like a lad, it is a lad." It was his point that no Nigerians will pose as scammers online if they aren't. I can't read anywhere how he accuses all Nigerians of being scammers here.

Badgers from Cote d'Ivoire are Codgers.

Nigerian Badgers would be the Nadgers - don't think I've heard of Badgers (or Scammers) from Namibia.

And what makes a Nigerian any less likely to badger than anyone else? Have you spoken with all of them? NN spoke in absolutes, that no Nigerian would ever badger because they'd be wasting time they could have spent scamming. To me, that sends the wrong message, whether or not NN meant to say something else. But I don't want to argue, I was just pointing out that taken literally, it's a very bad thing to say.

No. What you've pointed out is that your interpretation makes it a very bad thing to say.
Nobody else here has any doubts as to what NN was saying.

No need to get defensive. Let's just drop this, I was only trying to help.

The thread was titled 'Nigerian Badger'. So using my awesome powers of deduction I assumed this lad/scammer was from Nigeria. The OP was wondering if he had a Nigerian Badger because his IP said Nigeria. So I said 'Nigeria'.

No worries ChortleHorse. You just read it wrong. You're only human. So yes, I stand by exactly what I said and you interpreted it incorrectly. I can absolutely say that you don't have a Nigerian Badger. If you collected a format that originated from Nigeria, it's a scammer.

I am a Vulcan. My logic is infallible. Very Happy
