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.

Same thing happened to me few days after my POP. I did exactly the same thing u did.

This is an old format na..
