How A Nairalander Was Scammed By A "Nigerian Defense Academy Staff" by PROVERBZ(m): 2:47pm On Jan 10, 2017
OK today about 10am in the morning , my dad rushed back from work called me and then handed me his phone, the man on the other end of the line claimed to be an officer by name ayuba working at the nigerian defence academy in Kaduna,
we was saying something about the school re inviting me again for another interview after I had already been disqualified by the board earlier last year.

My dad had put in a lot of effort in order for me to get admitted. into that school so that it was a great news to us more like a second chance for us we drop all our suspicions of the call being a scam when the caller mentioned my full name and the name of my dad, at this point we were willing to do any thing cuz the news kind of sounded true.

The caller now asked for payment so he could buy us form we live in jos so it was a relief because he said the administration would stop selling the purchasing of this form as from tomorrow

We then enquired how we would make the payment, he said we should send mtn recharge card of 3000 naira and send to him

My dad knew how much I wanted to be at the academy so he didn't want the blame on him may be because he didn't do enough so he bought the card and sent it to him

Then we asked him what's next he told us to wait he would get in touch with us, after some time he called back again saying he had to do something about medicals and it required 7000 naira now my dad began doubting him as he refused to give us his account name and number for payment he was insisting on payment in form of recharge cards my dad refused

Then he became furious and said if we don't believe in him we should just forget and he refused to refund the money we sent to him earlier on

We tried calling him since then but his phone has been switched if since then
I don't understand how people live by scamming other people

The surprise about this is how he got my contact information I only submitted this to Nigerian defence academy so this scammer must be somebody who works at the academy

If Nigeria was a better country I might have considered sewing them to court

Probably a clerk at the place with access to the incoming applications. It happens in many government places. Just be ware when someone offers help with a price tag.

abeg o, please don't sew our Defence Academy to court bros...are you a tailor? tongue

You sent 3, 000 naira to someone over the phone and you want the whole world to cry with you or what? just 3, 000 for that matter. Why would the busy staff at the NDA offer to buy you the form for you when he doesn't know you from anywhere? Plus you were obviously not qualified. Next time, stop and think.

He does not need to work at NDA to have access to your name and info on your dad.

Based on your statements, you have been to NDA interview before and was disqualified at the board screening stage.

Names of all candidates called to an interview at NDA are usually printed on national dailies or some public places, including their state of origin.

Scammers everywhere!

That was how one called me yesterday claiming to be a certain medical doctor I don't even know. He mentioned my full name and date of birth before going further to ask me if I can handle medical supplies bla bla bla!

People need to be extremely careful these days!

People are still scammed with this kind of scope? The swindler's scope is archaic.

His mentioned of fee payable by recharge card was more than enough reason to decode his ulterior intention.

Op, you are surprised the idiot knew your details? Never be. You were scammed by one of the admin officers in charge of applicants' data and or a friend/dude disposed to your personal details in your former schools.
