Fraudulent Calls by Bosshugo: 10:55am On Jan 21, 2016 |
It started about 4 years ago. My phone rings and I see an unsaved number. The caller on the other end resorts to a familiarity tone, so I think it's a friendly person. He calls my name, middle-name and surname. He even quotes my address. The chat below is generally the conversation path: (phone rings and I answer) Bosshugo: Hello SpamCaller: Hello, is this BossHugo(Bosshugo is not my real name) Bosshugo: Yes, who is this please? SpamCaller: O boi!!! How far na? Long time no see. How u dey? Bosshugo: Fine, please who is this? SpamCaller: Bosshugo, so you don't know who I am again. I am so disappointed in you. So, u forgot all about me, abi? Bosshugo: So sorry, I lost my earlier phone. Please tell me who u are. SpamCaller: My name is Jones Philips. We used to work together at Chevron. I am no longer with Chevron. I now work with Shell. Bosshugofeeling confused, 'cos I have never worked with any oil company but plays along) O!!! How far na. Long time. U remembered me today. SpamCaller: No mind me jare!!! I actually called u for an important business opportunity. Please call me back now. Before I say anything, the spam caller hangs up. Very recently, a a number kept on disturbing me. It seemed like an international number so the scammer felt I could be swayed. For security purposes, I am going to post the number here. +18088956707. I think these scammers are able to get my exact details due to my job applications. Hence, I implore u all to help in fishing out these fraudsters and be more security conscious. |
