Holy shit I just was watching local TV news and a bomb threat in the city and across the country was made where someone demanded 200,000 dollars in Bitcoin and would promise to deactivate the device after 3 network confirmations.... dude I cant believe this wow Hah it's just so surreal that this came on TV!! People are committing crypto currency terrorism ransoms

Smells like some mass-Nigerian scam tactics similar to 419 scam stuff.
Look at the man above. Does he look like a Nigerian? Do you think he's a Nigerian? Off course not. His name is Michael Neu and he's the man behind the Nigerian Prince scam. Next time your guys do shit, don't be a Michael Neu and link it to Nigeria. Be factual.
Read from your New York times here https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2017/12/31/us/nigerian-prince-fraud.amp.html
LOL, yeah, he did it all! You're stupid.
What a dumb thing to say..
It's a REAL thing to say. 419 scamming is a REAL problem.
What did you all do, cry in Discord and ask people to comment on this comment? It isn't my fault that I get the impression that a mass scam comes from Nigeria. My e-mail inbox is covered with them.
Try again.
Lmao.. I wonder how a bomb threat in the USA relates to 419 in Nigeria.. DUMBBBBB...
It's a mass scam originating via e-mail demanding money, which is how the 419 scam is delivered. This scam is coming across through mass e-mails as well. Sorry you can't deal with reality or general criticism of a REAL and RAMPANT scam. Go back to Discord to your echo chamber.
No matter the situation; you don't generalize without evidences.
Check out with correct statistics, apart from Philippines, UK and India, Nigeria youth are having sleepless night.
An average Nigerian, academically, is better than a dozen around the world even your own so called country

Millions of Nigeria are out their hustling out their life

You sound like a racist. It isn't my fault the vast majority of online scams originate from Nigeria. My evidence is reality and my inbox full of scam e-mails and rampant news of people being robbed by these scams.
I called 419 scamming a Nigerian scam . . . because it is one.
Yeah, it must be a Nigerian because they ain't no terrorist or scammer elsewhere around the world right?
Think before you insult a full country.
You're also stupid, just like the rest of the people who got called to comment on this thread to say the same thing. You all are some butt-hurt cry babies.
Matt I just came to tell you that you are stupid. There's nothing left to argue with a blatant delusional delinquent bull cock arrogant racist ingrate like you. You are the true definition of what a fool should be. Get lost!!
Hey man, I don't like it when my country gets drag into this when it is not been confirmed the threat came from Africa. Kindly edit and take out the name Nigeria.
They are terrorist, scammers, drug dealers, traffickers and serial killers everywhere. We should link such to people or group with evidence not generalizing or saying it smells like it came from my Country. Not cool
Nigerians are smart, intelligent and hardworking and we make our money legally. We are not scammers.
Well it sounds like it is some typical Nigerian scam tactics. I wont edit it or say anything different. 409 scamming is a serious thing and is rampant. Nigeria is where probably the MOST online scams in the world originate from. It's reality.
This is a very stupid assertion if i must say, we have always been here trying to survive day and night to make ends meet in order not to be what the society never needs but instead, you being a whale talking shit about my country ain't cool. Having said that, did we mention that the internet scam was all started by the whites, killing of people with viruses, injecting AIDS to Africans as a form of vaccine to Africans, looting African funds with a system to benefit you all or is the whole corruption of a thing you people started?
I don't care if you flag me, but you are absolutely wrong and we demand an apology for this.
Go to the United States of America, check the average Nigerian records, academically, morally and socially, we are fit and even better than an average Americans.
Most online scams come from Nigeria, get over it.
You're fucking stupid if you want to "blame this on the whites." You're clearly a racist and are stupid. I'm not adding anything else to this conversation.
I really wish you can try this on twitter
What? Saying a mass email scam sounds like the biggest mass email scam (that happens to be of Nigerian origin) of all time?
Why aren't you talking back to the rest of these people who are being outright racists? Or are you taking their side?
Cryptos is getting more popular than normal currency, lol
We have to work hard towards taking steem to the moon because it will be a bonus to ever egalitarian steemians that still keep their account active.

They are fake. https://www.nbcnews.com/video/police-respond-to-wave-of-bomb-threats-nationwide-1397350467607
I know such threat cannot pull through. I feel it doesn't seem like a good publicity for Crypto
@matt-a come on , most scams dont come from Nigeria, they may have a decent scam industry but the vast amount of scams take up more bandwidth than all of Nigeria even has access too lol the biggest scammers are just like any industry in USA and China and India and un regulated places like Albania and shot and maybe Somalia... I'm sure Nigeria has their fair share but you brought up a total lie about Nigeria without any evidence to like show like , the MAJORITY of scams are NOT from Nigeria matt come on now lol that's an exageration... theres no way one country can make up all the worlds scams it's a capacity logistics impossibility and even Nigerian scammers will tell u that there are much bigger scanners who are american and Chinese India and European scammers especially BRITISH scammers, both immigrant and white... but UK has a lot of scammers but so does USA the USA has a lot of scammers feeding off the us government itself but also off old people and yeah dude even cardi B says in her song "All my Scammer **** where ya at" etc so theres plenty of USA scammers lololol
@matt-a Matt this is not typical Nigerian scam, this is terrorism and Nigerians would not want this level of attention, this seems politically motivated dude
@matt-a we will find out soon where this originated or not.... but dude to blame the whole country is not right, but I understand your frustration but dude , do you have some evidence that bitcoin ransomware or more specifically bomb ransom emails coming from Nigeria? because I dont see any Google results but maybe man...
