Is There Really Nothing We Can Do To Teach These Petty Scammers A Lesson? by sleit: 6:26am On Dec 21, 2019
So my friend contacted me yesterday evening that her friend on Facebook posted testimony about getting paid by all these people that triple morning. Like pay 10k and get 30k...

She had contacted the individual and sent the money before telling me. Immediately I raised the alarm that it most likely is a scam. But she said her Facebook friend that referred her is a personal person that can't aid scams.

There were just red flags everywhere coupled with the fact that the 'investment company' said the returns will be gotten in 3 hours. Like seriously? Odidi graduate falling for that?! I don't understand. The babe just fall my hand.

Long story cut short, 3 hours has knack for over 16 hours now and she can't contact 'investment company' again o. She put in 15k, and it has vanished o. She called the trusted friend that referred her and he said his Facebook account has been hacked that he can't login and never posted such.

What's painful to me is that it is part of the money she has been contributing for gaining freedom from her fashion designer boss. She wanted to fast track the whole process. Now she's back to square 3.

So I got the 'investment company's' phone number and started chatting them up in the guise of investing. See out chat below. Even if I can't get him arrested, I will so disturb him.

See all the red flags in the chats. See the psychological tactics he is using to lure people

- Being fast to quote the bible
- 3 hours turn around
- Using 'dear' unnecessarily
- Claiming to be a mother with 2 kids


- Floyd Mayweather in collaboration with western union kill him there.... Chai!


The funny thing is he was just copying and pasting the same response he used with my friend. Everything automated. No time... Hehe

More of our chats

Last for now

Oh and I forgot to add that my friend can no longer login to her Facebook account since she sent the details.

They've most likely hacked it and will start the cycle again with her Facebook friends.

The criminal should be skinned alive. Those are the people giving Nigerians a bad name everywhere they get to. I believe we have security agents all over Nairaland, they can help in tracking the idiots down. Kudos to Op... undecided

Yes o, it all boils down to greed.

I can't just imagine parting with my money like that. I believe if any one even falls for this it should be the uneducated people.

The thing is even if my friend was paid and she wanted to introduce it to me, I still would never invest.

Best way to tackle the scammers is to create more awareness about the scam and also report the scammers to law enforcement.

I have this kind of irritable feeling for graduates who fall for petty scams, especially ladies.

Her greed put her in trouble. Hopefully she’ll learn from this ordeal. In a country of 200 million plus individuals a lot more people will fall for the scam. That is the sad truth. As more people learn to identify it the scammers will switch tactics, ensuring she falls once again. May we not get desperate enough to fall for such cheap tricks.
