It's a normal scam message sent to youth corp members. They got the information from that NYSC photo book you got at the end of your service year.

Only a fool will fall for this. How can your old mate whom you don't have communication relationship with will just send you message introducing himself and offering you job opportunity. Where are his relatives and close pals, they don't need job?

I got this message few minutes ago. I'm currently not in Naija but I tried to keep my mtn line active due to the fact that it has not been linked and also to avoid it from being blocked. So this evening I was just going through my phone when I noticed an unread message. I opened it to see the details in it were 90% correct. The name of the messanger is different from what truecaller gave me. Without reading the message twice, I knew it was a scammer at work. I've never been scammed and I don't pray I fall victim of any of their tactics. The surprising thing is how accurate the little information about me he gave out in the message.

Please let us all be careful of these scammers.

If you have a word of prayer for him, please do not hesitate to do that thanks.
Old tactics, as far back as 2010. I always tell them that if you have a deal with an oil company, you ll contact your family members before remembering me.

That's what they do with your details in nysc year book

grin.
I fell for this in 2000 or thereabout.

The guy will link you up to "so called human resources man" then the billing comes. I paid like 10k to one Collins via a GT Bank account.

I guess, they get your correct info from this Brochure corp members produce (that bears your NYSC no, phone no, state of origin etc) before passing out.

So next time someone sends such to you, "make lemonade out of the lemon" thrown at you.

Even the rich steals from the poor to stay rich.

It's not from year book, they have access to NYSC database. I also got this scam message during my service year and that was before pop and before yearbook was made.

This same thing happened to me in 2018. Thank God I'm tech savvy if not I would have fallen.

Like people actually sit down, compose messages, so patient even for years hoping one day their prey will fall into their net.
Re: Message From A Scammer. by Gotze1: 3:26pm On Sep 29, 2021
I have seen that before. I flashed him, he called back. After wasting his credit for 10minutes, I asked him to go and find work.
