Beware Of False Bonanza Notifications!, Wafi Boyz At Work by AKO1(m): 10:15am On Nov 17, 2006
If your phone has been on over the last few months, youre likely to have received a text that read something like:
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Your number is one of the lucky numbers in our on-going Chevron/NNPC bonanza. You have just won #500000. Your ticket no-41808. please call our supervisor on 08051960600 for details.



It is a bloody lie. I was foolish enough to call them up and then they said that to insure my cheque, I had to text a recharge pin no of NOT LESS than two thousand naira only to the number. The guy made it sound so professional. But then the timely internention of as friend saved me an extra 2000 bucks. If tyou have received any similar text please share your experience, and if you get it aftr this, please do not respond!!!!

. That's the message, the Supposed Mr Lucky was so unprofessional, I mean the dude was actually picking his words, you can Imagine, he said the bonanza was a new year bonanza, we're not yet in the new year. I just played along. Just take a Look at their code, It's so Obvious that it's an easy acronym prolly to Identify their MTN magas (Lools). Men, there's nothing you won't see in Nigeria.
