<p>Stealing is a breach of proper work since it deprives the victim of the fruits of one’s labour. Cybercrime is an electronic way of stealing people’s financial income. Although progress has been made in examining different aspects of cybercrime in Nigeria, existing literature has yet to focus on the older adults who are targets of cybercrime in Christian-dominated southern Nigeria. The aim of this study was to explore the following: (1) the reasons for scapegoating older adults in fraud and cybercrime and (2) the experiences of older adults as victims of fraud and cybercrime in Christian-dominated southern Nigeria. This is a qualitative study using a phenomenological approach. Data were gathered from relevant academic literature, periodicals, and in-depth interviews with 12 younger and older adults from southern Nigeria. Content analysis was used. As part of the results, emerged themes included the following: (1) being less critical; (2) being overambitious; (3) being financially stable; (4) being technologically less equipped; (5) being aggressors who offer help; and (6) being unwilling to let people know of their plight. The rate of cybercrime shows what happens when people without the fear of God acquire certain technical skills, and it is the duty of people with Christian ethics who are in these fields to use their skills to prevent theft by protecting older adults before the cyber criminals discover how vulnerable they are and exploit them. Recommendations are discussed.</p>
