Mine was Just yesterday under this pandemic that a lady called me with a very nice voice that my account have been selected to receive 10,500 as palliative from Government. she mentioned my name and my BVN number correctly and told me she is calling from my bank. When i asked her which of the banks cos i have several account she then changed that she's calling from CBN. she asked if i had an atm card. THAT I SHOULD CALL MY ACCOUNT NUMBER FOR HER to recieve palliative of N10,500 from federal govt and went on to ask for my card number... CHAI.. AT THIS POINT I JUST CALLED ON ODUMEJE TO FIRE HER WITH ..RIQUID METAL INDABOSKI

I had an experience with a stranger at the motor park who asked for help. It was my first trip to the state I was posted for NYSC. I tried to help the man who says he was going to refund the money when he gets to his base. Only for him to disconnect me from reaching him after many attempts.



Meanwhile, wash your hands, stay safe.

Mine is a long story.

Funny scam when I was still a child.

Mine happened a long time ago. However, I still remember it crystal clear cuz it taught me some deep lessons.

I schooled in a religious school, back then in Sokoto, Mamman Barkeji Nursery and Primary School. In my Primary 3, I got first position for the first time and became the class prefect. Normally, girls started coming closer to me. I also reciprocated their kind gesture. There was this beautiful girl who came second that term. She was taller then most of us, had a pointed nose, and a very wonderful smile. I think her name was like Henuwell.

Naturally, I liked her. After school one day, a friend of mine, Musa, came to me and told me that she liked me and that she wanted to be my friend and would need some money. Mind you, I was about 7 years old then oh. Happily, I have him the little I has on me, about 10 kobo.

The next day, during the morning assembly, he told me that she was very grateful and that she loved me for that. My head began to swell. He asked whether I had some more money for her that it would make her love me the more. Unfortunately, I didn't have any with me, but I promised him that I would get it for him the next day. My people, that was how I started stealing the small change from our children's purse that was kept in my parent's room. I stole the N 25 that was there and gave it to the boy. Everyday, I got one new love story or another from the girl about how she was thinking of me, how she loved me better than any other boy, etc through Musa.

On one Monday morning, nemesis decided to pursue and catch up with me. I went into the Children's purse and lo and behold, only N 500 note was left there. Without thinking twice, I took the money and kept it in my bag. When it was time for us to go, my dad told us to enter his vehicle so that he could pick up our neighbours and drop us all at school. I really don't know what happened, but when he came out of the room, he came out with an empty bag of Children's money and began to ask for the thief. All of us initially denied it. Then my mom joined him and began to beg us to open up. By that time, I was already shaking. That was how I confessed and got serious beatings from both my parents. I cried and cried and cried. It was really painful. After some time, my parents stopped and bundled me inside the car.

As soon as we got to school, they told the Headmaster and I went for the morning assembly. The first thing that Musa asked when he saw me was whether I came with the money. At that point, the pain I was feeling was more than my love for Henuwell and I told him to leave me alone. As soon as the assembly was dismissed, my class teacher called me to kneel down under the tree for stealing from my parents. I then told him that it was because of Musa and Henuwell.

When both of them came, Musa couldn't look at me. As the man was about to punish both of them, the girl shouted that she didn't know anything about it. That was when Musa confessed that he didn't even talk to the girl and that he was using the money I gave him for himself. You need extra beatings I received that morning. Musa was called a criminal, was terribly beaten and got seriously punished throughout the whole day. They even asked reported him to his parents.

To crown it all, about a week later, I learnt that Henuwell actually really loved me and wanted to be my good friend.

The next term, I left that school.

That was how I was scammed.
This stuff happened about 16 years ago, but funny enough, as I was typing this, I could still visualise Henuwell's face.

I smell lies all around your post.

From 10k to 500 notes?! Which year are you talking about exactly?

There was a guy selling goods online, he advised me on how lucrative the business was and told me I will be ordering shoes from China and resell at a great price here. He told me a site and said he will be the one to do the process.

To cut it short, I gave him 30k for 8 shoes, this guy say them don lockdown and hin don send money before them lockdown. I dey wait small time before i go arrest am.

8 pairs of shoes for 30K?

Does that sound realistic to you?

I like to gamble once in a while whenever I have extra money on me. There is this guy in my Facebook friends who do tell me about fixed game.. So one day like that, when I got paid and first that came to my mind was.. Maybe I should try this guy. Na so I msg the guy and asked about his fixed game. He said 13k. I asked him to swear if it wasn't a scam. And he swear on his mom. So I sent him the 13k. After a while when the game is about to began. He sent me booking of two Brazilian teams with 2 -2 correct score. And I played it. Some minutes in first half this guy send me another booking that the first one was wrong. I cashout the previous game and added money with it and play the one he sent to me.. At the end of the game day. When I check the game. It was all 1-0 // 0-1 final score.. Immediately I went straight to my FB and I find this guy no more..

This will be a very long thread o. I wouldn’t be surprised if 1 in 3 Nigerians have been scammed in their lifetime.

Yes, by this nairalander that claimed he was into importation and needed us to invest in his business and he would import some building fixtures with our joint investment money and then share our profit to us after selling and making profits

Only for the anumpama to collect our money and start telling stories of how he was robbed and all the fixtures stolen. We threatened him with police then the story changed and he started claiming he used the money to do betting instead.

He was a popular comedian in Abuja. I still have plans to arrest him if I ever catch him for now I will spoil his name everywhere I possibly can until he returns my money.

MC funnynation, real name Moses Ugwu, better hope covid 19 kills your miserable soul because if I know where you dey you go sleep for prison for at least a year. Animal

Yes by fake house agent

I was. I had a younger brother going for youth service in sokoto state from Lagos. I needed to locate a park where he could board bus in Lagos. Pronto I switched to Google and I stumbled on a phone number for Young Shall Grow transport company. They have no website!
I stayed at outskirt of Lagos but this individual promised on phone to pick my younger brother at Berger on the travel day enroute Sokoto if only I could pay into his bank account. Somehow, he gave me a personal account number which I queried but I eventually succumbed following my dire need to conclude the arrangement.
Till tomorrow, I've not been able to get my money back.
I was quick to make alternative arrangement for the boy seeing how things were going.
I wrote to Ecobank stating the account that I paid into but they requested that I brought police to follow through.
I gave up on it eventually. It was 10,000 naira.
Trying to remember the name of that account owner

2019 Ocrober, my younger sister that have been job hunting in Lagos happily called me that she has gotten a job with a forex trading company called PENNUEL MANAGEMENT LTD as one of their marketers. Being a big bro that would want to support my sister to make high commission for her first month at work, I invested #500k hoping to get #625k by November and also make her get some good commission. Two weeks later she called me and started crying that their ogas have all ran away with people's money.

I find tears to cry I no see . Na so my hard earned five hundred thousand naira use enter water.

After university, A lady did Exactly the same thing to me..

I wanted to flare up but I remembered wat I did to my Friend back in school..

I knew karma had hit me.. I kuku carry my cross and zombies on..

Today Having JESUS CHRIST has Totally Turned my life Around..

I Look back at those days and I say Thank you LORD for the What I am Today..

Fell victim of the data scam this afternoon, I even tipped the guy.
