Meanwhile, the full wanted list consists of 20 Asians, 39 Arabs, 16 Russians and more. The FBI however did not mention the other scammers and their nationality, even though they have a larger number, instead they focused on the 6 Nigerian scammers which was the least among others and this angered people.

Nigerians reacted unpleasantly to the FBI’s tweet on Twitter by blasting them for continuing to further the stereotype that Nigeria is a country with a large amount of fraudsters, whereas people from other nationalities, even the United States, do worse.
