True story people...

I got scammed this morning by a supposed legit government grant which I intended to use for a startup I recently innovated...an organic powder that's beneficial to everyone.

I've had premonition and always vigilant about cybercrime like this but it came at the moment I was eager to take a shot at entrepreneurship, and seemed too real that I couldn't see the flaws.

The link was sent to me by one unfortunate supposed helper via Twitter few weeks ago.

Yesterday, when I got set to proceed the production of the product after enough research and documentation... I remembered the grant platform decided to apply this morning.

I was charged N750 through my account details I filled for the payment....for allocation of a profile manager that would help me follow the process successfully with regular update.

Then I received a call from the unfortunate supposed manager for verification purpose.

After few discussions, I suddenly received a debit alert of N25,000 without any prior payment agreement.

Then it got dawned on me that I've been scammed. I've gone to the bank to block my card and was assured of possible reversal(which I doubt).

Be Vigilant My People.

Maga don pay shout halleluyah

It's a life lesson for me though...and for others as well.

Thanks for sharing this bro. One just contacted me today and my antenna went up when she mentioned #750. I had to come here to confirm
