How do scammers communicate? Do they have a specific language or slang?

Clients are primarily valued for their potential to provide financial gain, especially if they are wealthy, in which case they are termed as client blocks. The term block can also denote a significant sum of money. Therefore, rather than saying that the client has paid a lot of money, fraudsters often say the CL has dropped block funds. When a victim is perceived to possess substantial wealth, she may be classified as a CL full skin, indicating that she is a desirable target for further exploitation. The ultimate goal for the fraudster is to bill the CL and persuade her to transfer money. This is called cracking the client’s code.

Of course, many more terms exist, but I can’t make this post too long. The screenshot below shows the text of a scammer who recently got in touch with one of my ScamLand contacts.

If the first fraudster cannot extract money from a difficult client, the client may be pushed or pasted to another more skilled fraudster. In such cases, the second fraudster may purchase the victim from the first or agree to share the profits if the scam succeeds. If the victim is remarkably naive or gullible, she is designated a sure client, someone likely to comply with whatever the scammer demands.

What is the opposite personality type of someone with ASPD (antisocial personality disorder)?

If you can’t decipher it, after typical greetings in Nigerian pidgin, he asks my friend to help him set up a videocall with a male client. This process is more technically complicated since the (male) scammer is pretending to be a woman. So, this is a wake-up call for all you guys who are video chatting with a sexy lady in cyberspace. Beware! Your Hot Honey may really be a Horny Hunk.

Among romance scammers in Nigeria, victims are referred to as clients [CL], which reflects the business-like nature of the deception. Fraudsters target clients through a process called bombing, which involves scouring the internet and sending friend requests to social media profiles of older women.

Like any other professional group, scammers use the jargon of their trade to communicate with each other. The type of slang used depends on the country where the scammer is located. There are scammers in all countries throughout the world, but since the terms that I know were taught to me by my friends in Nigeria, I am using their slang as an example.
