Is it Covid19/ Nddc that sent this or scammers looking for prey to fall victim? I don't bother responding cos I know things ain't right. Well, Still waiting for a call from Nddc to claim my cash. Funny though!

Recieved the text message in the form of a 100k fake alert this morning. Already knew it was scammers. Put a call thru and the scammer told me that my number was amongst the 100 selected for payment of covid19 palliative by NDCC that i should forward my account number as he is on his way to the bank to make the payments. Lol. But i just recieved a 100k alert from u, I asked him. He quickly ended up the phone convo. Pls folks dont fall for the latest scam in town.

The message header should read "NCDC" if they wanted to notify you of something and it should read the name of your bank if it's truly a credit alert

This one is s class 1 scam whoever owns that number is probably awaiting your call with confam jazz in one hand cheesy

Why call the number when you initially knew it was a scam? I think you almost fall for the scam. There is no way I'll ever call such number, when I knew the message is from scammers.

Forget it, your actions was wrong. I'm beginning to think that you fell for the scam That's why you called to inquire about the said funds. grin grin

When you see such message, you ignore it. The scammer might hypnotise you when you call and you will end up giving him all the information he needed to wipe out account.
