New Method In Which SCAMMERS Defraud Unsuspecting Nigerians by Nobody: 5:07pm On Nov 25, 2014
My mum received a call this morning while lying on her sick bed, it was someone who claimed to be an FRSC official. He claimed that there was someone involved in a ghastly motor accident whom she (my mum) knew and that she should call back...i was already all set for work so i decided to call the number. When i did, the "FRSC" man asked where i was and i told him i was in Abuja. He then said that there was a ghastly motor accident which occurred along the Lokoja/Abuja road and a woman whom we supposedly know was involved.

He said he got my mum's number from the woman's phone and that though she is alive, she is in a very critical condition. According to him, the 3 people sitting down beside her died on the spot and the woman needed urgent medical attention. He further inquired if i knew any Red Cross number and i said no. I told him to simply use the woman's number to call me so that i would be able to ascertain her identity by tallying it with the contacts on my mum's phone or mine so we could know if she was a close relative but he responded by saying that there was no credit in the woman's phone and that he tried the "Call Me Back" method which did not work. He finally broke the camel's back by saying i should send MTN Recharge Card of about N400 to him so he could load the phone and call me back with it. I told him that i would send him just N100 but he insisted it must be N400 or at least N200. That was when it dawned on me. I was so upset cos my mum is a High BP and Diabetic patient which culminated to a stroke months back and was still recovering in my house only for them to spring this up on her. I managed to calm both her and my younger sister down by telling them it was a prank call from a scammer and related my reasons to them.

If you are reading this and got a similar call, please share your experience and for those who have not, be wary...IT IS A CHEAP SCAM!

Jobless people. Giving honest Nigerians a bad name. Instead of channelling their intellect to good causes, they are busy trying to defraud people. God will continue to disgrace them.

I'm yet and wl never experience such heinous crime from those hungry scammers. My simple advice is that people should think twice when receiving such calls or sms aand not rush to their criminal plea.
@ Op, may God heal and touch ur sick mom, there is power in the Blood of the Lamb!!!

mine is kinda similar though.
I got a message from a 4digit customised number.
And the message reads "congratulations 8182****55. You've won the sum of #650,000. They sent me a 4digit pin, and their phone number...

I called the number and I was asked to hang on, their manager is busy on the other call.

5minutes later, the manager received my call and ask me to deposit 50k, which will serve as clearance fee..

That was when I used my France brain.
I told the man that I've got only 10k.
Surprisingly he asked me to send it like that. No problem.

Chai! Naija man wan open office for french man head....

Na that time I begin call the eediot different names..

Is it that these stup1d people have access to large data's containing people's number or they just text any number hoping somebody must fall mugu. I have received more than 4 different text from Politicians in ma state campaigning and I also wonder how they come across people's number. angry

This scam na very low-profile one!
Ordinary 400 naira card?
Wetin him wan use am do; na to make call abi na to sell am for N200 because I know say dem no go price am past that amount!
Na wa o! This is poverty and if dem don scam u of only 400 naira, you don't need to cry or complain; take am say u donate that amount to help somebody buy bread and mineral for lunch!
