my problem here is that you deleted the message , how did you get the numbers back after you had deleted it? just wondering ItsTime4me:
Just last week, I got a text message written in Yoruba language. The only thing I could decipher was the word 'card'. Of course there were numbers that looked like recharge card pins. I just ignored and deleted the message because I wasn't expecting any such thing from anyone.
Just about 10 minutes later, I got a call from someone asking me to send the message back to him and begging that I should not load the card, that it was intended for someone else. I said no problems.
Three days later, the guy called me and said his father wants to speak with me. I was like, for what? He said the father wants to thank me for the recharge card I did not use. I said, why would I use something that does not belong to me. But he said the father was itching to talk to me. So I agreed to speak with him.
When the father came on the phone, he started showering praises on me, in a tone of an elderly Yoruba man who was struggling to speak English. He said he is surprised that people like me are still in existence. Then he asked me my name and location, which I told him.
Lastly, he asked me where I work and I told him I was looking for a job. Then he started praying for me. However, the thing that he said that made feel that they are scammers was that, the baba asked if anyone was there with me. I said yes. He said he wants to consult an Oracle for me and nobody should be there with me. Immediately, I told him that I don't do oracles and I don't believe in them. And he hung up.
So my question is, are these new methods adopted by scammers? Has anyone here experienced similar stuff? Perhaps others can learn from this.

Are you serious? The moment he asked if someone was there with me, I suspected them. However I doubt they will call back because the moment I said I don't do oracles, the speed with which he hung up was so alarming. Na bad market for them. Yes I’m serious. Eventually he’d ask for your mom’s name so they can hypnotize you, you’d lose your sense of thought & every property of yours will gradually be theirs because you’d be giving them everything they ask of like a puppet. They will tell you their ‘oracle’ wants to smile on you & you need to make some sacrifices, if you can’t be there , they will ask you to send some amount of money, really hilarious fools honestly. Next time you see unknown numbers , don’t let anyone hypnotize you on the phone. Just cut the damn call & block the effing number. Ire o 1 Like |

He operates majorly on instagram with the instagram name Bernard flip cash and with Whatsapp no 08123146906.

Immediately he receives the money, he blocks your number from calling him & also blocks you from Whatsap chat. He's a serial fraudster and please forward this message till it gets to the Police & EFCC. Don't blame people who have fallen victim. Save others from becoming victims.

I experienced similar stuff op. I got the text on 02-10-2018 10:33AM. I suspected scamming or evil activity immediately I saw the card PINs. My story is not exactly like yours but similar. A guy called me after but I can't remember the conversation vividly again. But I know it ended with doing something or taking an action which I didn't do. Because he is a total stranger and I could sense lies in his conversation about me. I kept the text because of days like this and purposely, to educate my related folks because one of them had received such scamming text. He was wise to ask and show me his personal text and my judgment: the message is filled with lies. They intended to defraud you of your properties and hard-earned money. If you want to make more money, follow the right and proven route. Thus, scammers always come with something enticing such as money or recharge cards. The full text: +2347068096244, 02-10-2018 10:33AM, IFAWOLE.AKU ODUN.BABA.NI KI E.TA CARD.YI.KI E.WO MOTO.WA.SILE ODUN.IFA. ......FOLLOWED BY THE 3 AIRTIME PIN NUMBER. The text ended with a name IFA. English translation: Ifawole.Happy celebration.Baba.said you should sell.this card.take moto(transport) come to odun ifa or come home and celebrate Ifa. I don't want to publish airtime pins, to prevent temptation, because I believe that's the bait to their evil act. But believe, it's real. Anything you don't work and earn for, run away from it. Don't trade your precious life which some know through their juju for a Kobo. 3 Likes |

Yoruba must start looking inward pls I learned authoritatively they're little kids masking as an elder. A true Yoruba Elder won't condone such an immoral act, because they appreciate our moral culture for a better society and belonging. I also learned this dastardly act is well practice by youth in Ile-Ife town, the source of Yoruba.
