Beware of james owunna, he's on Facebook and a crook

Joy83:

It happened to me almost 2years after I finished NYSC. He mentioned some interesting details about me.

yh dats their format..fraudsters everywhere

shulamitewoman:
hi mr english prof to pass out is a slang used in camp..so am aware of the meaning b4 I used it..u shld work more on yaself on how to tlk politely.

You werent typing in broken english, so i don't know when "to pass out" became a synonym for "to graduate". people like you who refuse to learn don't last long before you get fired at the place of work.

blueseacats:
Most scammers I know are actually dull academically, I could have attributed their success to Nigeria's economic situation. But no, my conclusion is that if they can press your greed button, then they got you.

True.

Keyword : Greed button

It happened to me when I finished serving in 2014

Missbizy:
I also received such message last month buh didn't bother to call back cause I knew it's a scam.

That's the best to handle this kinda situation. But if want to catch some fun playing dem, u can call d number and just act like it's working....
Wen they start calling u, keep whinning dem until their airtime finish.

This same thing happened to me.
when i even checked the magazine i saw the name but i have never met him in my life.

I'm presently serving and I got that message too. I guess these people are desperately looking for who to scam

It happened to me too. In my own case I followed up using MTN's free credit. Although the description he gave me about himself didn't ring a bell but I just played along. He told me he has spoken to one of his uncles about me and gave me the number of his so called uncle to call. I did, only for him to be asking if I were educated bla bla bla. Summarily, he asked me to pay 10500 to a bank account he didn't give me the details. The money was meant for d form which he'll send to my e-mail address to fill and submit because the form will be closing same day. I said OK and ended d call. The other guy was the one calling me persistently even unto the third day. My turn I posted him till he stopped calling.

This was exactly wat I was planning on doing. Lead him on until the part whr he says I shld pay some money. Den I will unleash my devilish plan on him. Lol. But he couldn't survive one minute on d phone with me.
Truth met with lie, and the lie flew away.

Do churches still do Sunday school?

mzjaney:
This same thing happened to me.
when i even checked the magazine i saw the name but i have never met him in my life.

Lol. Seems this is the season of this type of scam. I bet u some gullible ones must ve fallen for this, they might be too ashamed to admit it

Dat is why you go to school in the first instance, so that your mate cannot cheat you. But you should have play along to know whether he will demand money.

OMG even u?lol

Petroking:
This same thing happened to me after I recently passed out from Lagos state NYSC. But there is always a loop hole with them. I checked the person info with the state code everything matched but the phone number was not complete on the magazine which raised a red flag. Then he said I should pay money. I said I will pay but let's meet face to face. He backed out.

That was smart of u. I actually wanted to do same to him too, dats why I called. I knew it was scam

shulamitewoman:
OMG even u?lol

Lol. Pls who is that shulamitewoman? Is she related to queen sheba in d old testament?

The runs comes from the Local Govt where you have submitted many files with your name and State code number.

marinel:
Same thing happened to me and most of the outgoing batch A corps members. Someone used a corps member kt no to send the same message.

KT number
You reminded me of my service year in Katsina


But seriously...these scammers dey vex o

A friend of mine that got the sms decided to play along and see how far they could go with their madness.

So his ex corper friend told him he has been trying to reach him all this while, and then gave him the number of a manger in shell stating that the recruitment was based on community slot.

Upon calling the man, who identified himself and stated that he has been expecting his call since the previous week, and that he needs to get the form and submit asap cz of the deadline. He told him to pay a certain sum into an account and come see him immediately at shell office in Port Harcourt

Weird scenario was that we were both in Port Harcourt then.
I dunno how he knew his location, but here I was thinking technology played a role or that it was just a lucky guess. They seem to be a little detailed in their scamming sha.

So, he ended up calling his Aunt who works in shell to find out about the man, only to learn that he had retired recently...plus, the man is way too up to bring himself down to do such kinda things.

Omo....this thing na serious business for these guyz o

I'm so sorry Op.. i no fit pardon your grammer. My younger bro writes better than this. SMH, i just cant *beleefeet*

YungMike:
Lol. You're not much of a writer
You want me to pardon your grammar and punctuations
And you call yourself a graduate

OP, no difference between you and the so-called scammer.

No graduate with common sense will be wasting time wondering if that shii is a scam or nah. Haba, bros... Check out na, "shell oil COMPAN"



NB:- Please don't take life and my comment too serious, coz nobody gets outta life alive.

In d spirit of supporting this sweet and fyn A$$ comment, I offer a Meme *stolen* from a N/L's profile for the bolded lines above my head.

ayusco85:

Did u fall for it?

Initially, I was rising and falling. Before I back out after like 1 hour.

Since It happens every time a batch of corp members passes out as said by few of you,What measures has put in place to educate those currently serving on such traits?At least creating a kind of awareness by the necessary Authorities few weeks before the passing out,at least it will help the ignorant ones eventually.

ayusco85:
Am not much of a writer, so pls pardon my grammar and punctuation.


It happened today, this morning at about 9:30am, I was on my way to where I hustle, I got an sis which said thus:

" ayuba.How are u i hope fine, am johnson franklin u x copa mate at Abia st cod 3048 can u work with shell OIL COMPAN if yes call me 4 information god bles u". (below is d screen shot of d sms).

After reading it, I was wondering if this was true of fake. I asked myself why will an ex Corper whose name doesn't ring a bell want to help me with a job in shell? I actually studied geology, so I was like perhaps he was touched by God to help me.

I was wondering my nxt step, Den an idea came to me. Instead of calling him instantly, why not let me check my nysc photo album for the owner of that state code number 3048 he quoted.

So I waited until I got home in d evening, I went Tru 5000 photos of the corpers on my nysc magazine looking for d bearer of that state code 3048. Lo and behold the guy with same name as stated in the sms and d same name bearing that state code on the nysc magazine.


Do I decided to call d number. The following conversation ensued...............

Me: hello, pls who is this....

Scammer: who are u? U called me and u are asking who is this.

Me: this number texted me abt one job, I actually checked u out on the nysc magazine and sorry your face doesn't ring a bell, pls whr do u knw me in Abia state whr I served, because I don't know u....... Before I finished he cut in

Scammer: "if you are not interested just forget it" ...

He sounded so rude, as if he was angry I busted him. He hurriedly ended the call.



I felt good with myself because I acted smartly ...


I decided to share this experience so others won't fall victim. I knw this period things are hard, some won't think twice before calling such numbers until they get duped of their little money all in d name of job offer. Pls ex Corpers beware.

Na their way, they ve be using this mtd for over 6yrs

shulamitewoman:
read ya bible well u will knw..stp missing sunday school dis boy..lol

I guess your Sunday school teacher must be from Ibadan if Shunammite is now Shulamite

I've gotten this kinda sms be, when I finished service newly.

LOL............. All the way to a SHELL job via phone call

duduade:
And you say you are smart... Nonsense... The fact that you could actually go all the length to look for the name shows you could be gullible...


How many times we don shout say such text messages are scams... You don't think at all you delete straight up

And how many times you don see op come NL con complain about this same shi....
