I know a Nigerian Prince who can trace cryptocurrency transactions for £200. Should be able to recover that on top of the £150.
He must be about 90 now, he was writing to me in 1987 saying he had £3m to put in my account. Did Nigeria ever have a king?

They had rulers or non-sovereign monarchs in the various regions.

Not sure, luckily they are only £150 down and couldn't afford the requested further payment of £300. I listen to a podcast about suspected North Korean hackers raiding crypto wallets and it seems almost impossible to trace payments if the hackers/scammers are determined.

Law is potentially relevant if they can be physically tracked down. Perhaps the cryptocurrency transactions can be traced?

Stupid people say stupid things. Often, the terms “England” and “UK” are used interchangeably. But since it’s a scam, who cares?

On another site I have interacting with some one that appears to fallen for an employment scam. The "employee" is request further payments be made via Cryptocurrency before paying them for work done. Stonewall scam to me.

Their initial question what contract rights they have, when pressed on which law making body the contract conforms to, they say it says UK Law. As far as I know UK Law just plain doesn't exist. It would have to. for example, England/Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland. Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
