Hi, and welcome to Eater.

Yes, there are many scammers from Nigeria. That said, there are also a lot of scammers from many other countries in West Africa, as well as other countries such as Canada and those in the UK. "Vlads" are often from Russia or Romania, or other European countries. Scammers can be found pretty much anywhere.

Thank you for the Reply. Does reporting these emails to the FBI or
Secret service (USA) do any good?

When I answered your post above, I didn't realize that you had already asked almost the exact same question elsewhere, and had it answered, almost a month ago.

If you do a bit more searching on this site, you'll also see many older threads on the same topic (though, please do not post on old threads, simply use them for reading material).

I believe there is also a current thread on the topic, started by suncrafter.
