Not everyone that ask you for help on social media really need your help, ma y of them are there to turn your joy to sorrow.

I was checking some videos on my Instagram account when a lady DM and asked for my assistant by voting her on one program she's contesting for, immediately I hear that, I remember David message that say we rise by lifting others not knowing that she have another intention. . then I ask how how to go about it.

Since I first had my first ever Facebook account hacked in 2014, that was when I knew Two Factor Authentication Is Very helpful


Even if the scammer knows your password as long as he/she doesn't have your Sim card you enabled it with which Facebook, Instagram or whatsoever social network you're using will send the codes to confirm you're truly the one logging in from another device.


And a lot of People don't know about This , they don't know cyber attacks comes in various ways, if you were not smart enough, that's how the scammer would have hacked your account.

And y'all should stop clicking all these links, that's the most easiest way for the hackers to get your accounts

Even if your bro or sis sent it with his account, call to confirm first, because they might have hacked that your sibling account and will now use it to get yours


TRUST sometimes ehnn dey fall person hand smiley

That's how they used my best friend account to hack my first Facebook account telling me to click one link to contest in one quiz and win 20k, I was dumb and full of trust lipsrsealed

First person wey talk say " EXPERIENCE IS THE BEST TEACHER " no lie shaa.

Now people are scamming each other in Nigeria itself.

That is how one girl tried using almost this same format with me last month, asking me to click on a link to watch her comedy skit, i dictate immediately that she was trying to hack my account. When she saw that that was not going to work she started begging for airtime.

Nigerians are very difficult people, it is hard to know those who genuinely needs help.
