Friday, July 31, 2026 - An American investigator tracking cybercrime syndicates in Nigeria has revealed details regarding the integration of ritual practices—locally referred to as “Yahoo Plus”—by internet fraudsters operating in Lagos.
In an account documenting her field investigation in the
commercial capital, the visitor detailed navigating high-risk environments and
refuse dumps to locate hidden shrines where fraudsters allegedly obtain
spiritual charms intended to manipulate victims overseas.
“On our trip to track down scammers
in Lagos, Nigeria, we uncovered something shocking. We found out that 'Yahoo
Plus' is a real thing and that some Yahoo Boys perform rituals and obtain
charms to help them manipulate their victims. We even had to search through
heaps of dirt and refuse to find the hideout where these charms were made.The
investigation confirmed that beyond conventional phishing and social
engineering, there is a reliance on occult shrines, herbalists, and ritualists
who prepare specialized charms designed to psychologically subdue targets. The
fraud operators utilize these charms alongside online manipulation tactics to
fleece foreign victims, relying on belief in spiritual influence to guarantee
successful financial extraction.”
