Nigerians, Beware Of These Kind Of Scammers!!! by francizy(m): 9:11am On Mar 02, 2015
I just got a call this morning from someone that knew my name.

When I picked the call, he asked me if he was speaking with Francis. I said "yes". He asked do I know who's speaking, of which I told him "no". He was like, so I no longer have his number? I just played along and told him I changed phone and therefore lost some numbers.

He told me he's Engineer Tony and he knew me from the school I did my primary assignment.

He said he's got a job for me, a supply job and that I have to go to Julius Berger at mile 2 to get the goods and supply to buyers.

**I sensed fraud, but I still played along**

He told me to get a pen and paper and call him back. I did and he started talking about the goods I was to help him supply and said I have to call the Manager at Julius Berger. According to him, am to supply:

Hydro power kit (model A), 50 cartons.
Buying price from Julius Berger = NGN 200,000
Supply price = NGN 250,000
He said the Manager's name is Elder Godwin Amadi and his number is 07060917171.

That was when I asked him this, please can you tell me where we met?

He said we met a the primary school I did my Youth service. He said do I think if he doesn't know me he would be calling me? Do I know how much the deal is worth?

I told him well, I didn't serve in a primary school and it means you don't know me.

He hung up...
Scammers number is 07067369031..

I posted this to make people aware that these scammers have taken a whole new dimension. They may even be someone you know, or have met before but can't really recall them. I posted this because I want you guys out there to be aware of demonic fellows like this because that guy sounded like he knew me in person. Had it been I didn't ask questions, I wouldn't have known he's just another scammer

Although I'm yet to get a job but I don't let desperation set in. Some people might have just given in to this cheap scam.

Some months back (say about 5-7 months after passing out from NYSC program), a guy used a name of someone we knew from my class and contacted my classmates, telling them he works with shell and that they should contact the man the helped out.

When I heard of this, I told my classmates that they don't need someone telling them this was a huge scam. One of my classmates had already started spending money to get his credentials ready for the scammers before he called me to confirm. Told him not to continue that its just a scam.

These crooks use important info of you they got from somewhere and try to scam you.

Beware people...

Mr. Seun/mods please FP this. Thank you..

Hopefully I will. But if find it hard to believe I'll spend a dime to get a job. The only money I will spend is tfare for tests and interviews.

Tho God has been guiding my path tho..

Thanks

I feel for you bro.. It is better you let everyone around u know this. My friend almost paid 3.5k to some crazy coy claiming to offer overseas internship before I stopped her. Whenever am told to pay money for job, no matter how small (even if it's 500 bucks), I don't try it.
