Latest scam in UK - Nigerians dey learn. by databoy247(m): 11:03am On Aug 09, 2013
Another scam doing the rounds. A delivery company calls and asks if you are going to be in as they have a parcel for you. Within the hour a driver appears with a basket of flowers and a bottle of wine, no idea who it's from but there is going to be a card to follow. He asks for £3.40 so he can prove the delivery has been made to an adult as there is alcohol in it. He can't take cash as the transaction has to be prove able so he produces a hand held card reader. You put your card in and type the PIN and get a receipt from the machine for £3.40. A couple of days later your account has been cleaned out. Clever and affective. Unless you know who it is from beware of unexpected deliveries. Pass it around folks the more who know the harder it is for the scum. - Source: https://www.facebook.com/phil.ashcroft.96/posts/10151614582413068

There is a saying in yoruba that goes:
Moto ko le gba araoko

Meaning a vehicle can't hit a bushman

Any Nigerian that falls for this scam needs to be flogged

I still don't understand how a package recipient would pay for the delivery. That doesn't make any sense.

"Why don't you just check my ID to see that I am an adult." Na for inside money dem dey write age??
