I notice that even 419 activities are drastically reducing. The fear of Buahri's anti-corruption...
You must reside in one village to say that.

After you ve shortchanged in buying a soap instead of a phone, they'll tell you to run as fast as you can because police are coming. And obviously trying to evade the troubles of the police, you dash away. lol.

Op now you wanna make me cry once again.

Back in the days when NOKIA was the king and leader in early smart phones, I lost my newly purchased NOKIA N72 through one of these formarts- The familiar face grabbing.
It happened at the UBA car park, Marina on that unfateful Saturday morning.
By the time I realized what happened, the guy has disappeared into the crowd.

Anyway, I was much younger and naive to the prank, then.
The painful part was that while the N72 was in my hip pocket, I had a starcoms phone in my hands, I wished it was the other way round, so they'll have picked the starcomms.

Big lesson I learned from that day- Never leave your wallet/Phone in your trouser pockets while walking on the street, always hold them in your hands!

What about the famous figure profile scam on social media which the scammer would pretend to be a famous person. Also create a copycat profile of a normal person and ask friends for money to scam them.
The worst is the accident scam, catches people mostly unawares...
What about foreign admission scam? Pray we don't fall victim,those scammers have upgraded and its not only the greedy ones that fall victim.

Although I don't live in lag but the last one happened to me it was close to the Christmas season last year and I missed this call, I was very nice to call back and behold I heard this is a road Marshall your friend had an accident along lagos-ibadan express way that I should send something . I said am far that he should just help since he's a government official . I knew immediately that this one na 419. Later in the afternoon I called the number again with my other line to be sure he said this is your pastor am in ph and police arrest them I should help before he finished talking I cursed him that his family will be involve in road accident. immediately he said HA! And cut the call. This people are very terrible and people fall for it

Hahaha This is super hilarious. Such a person won't want to tell anyone how stupid he was. Like they stole from you and told you to run and you did with all your heart? Kikiki
