So of late I have been getting strange phone call from some set of people, who claim to mistakenly send me airtime codes. Usually an old man who claims to be a native doctor..he calls and pleads with me to return the credit he actually sent to my phone.Then he gives the phone to a supposed son of his. This son begs me not to use the credit which I have no intention of even using sef. Dat the card was meant for his younger sibling in school so that he can sell and take care of himself. I then tell them not to bother they should simply go to their inbox copy the message and sent it to the intended recipient but if they expect me to send the codes to their phone they must be joking..the first time I even answered them then the same format repeated itself today again..which kind scam method be this.

It’s not airtime codes, most times, they want to reset your Facebook or something that requires they type in a code that’s sent to your phone.

I've fallen prey to this particular scam two years ago. I lost #8000 to them.

He claimed to be the chief herbalist of Osun states and he allegedly does juju for Osun king... Idiot...
I blocked the bastard...

Exactly, I regretted sending him back the airtime.. Should have just used the voucher asap..

But I may not have worked tho.

Rituals if u know u know

The first time I witnessed such was 2019, was going home from work the airtime pin dropped on my phone as an sms, I opened it but didn't read it fully till I reached home. Before I got home the sender had called me like 2x but I didn't picked, while at home I used my truecaller to run a background check since the number wasn't registered on my phone it displayed an unknown name so I bothered not using the pin rather I deleted it. Some minutes later the same number called me I picked, he started lamenting how he mistakenly send an Airtime which was meant for his brother who was a student as of them that he would be glad if I could return the airtime to him, I was like oga, yes I saw your sms but telling me to return the msg is what I don't understand you send the msg, and you still have the air time card with you, I didn't use your pin code so you can as well pick up from there. He tried insisting that I should but I still maintained my stand He hanged the call. After some minutes later he called again full of praises this, that this bla bla that he never knew that nigerians can be still be this good, I told him it's nothing he continued he told me he would like to give the phone to his father for him to thank me for what I just did (me way no dey like long talk for phone) I told him to forget about it the guy insisted we drag forth and back still the same las las I gave in, the presumed old man collected the phone I greeted him we talk one thing one thing immediately the man switched to yoruba language was reciting some yoruba words which I don't know the meaning since I don't understand yoruba I became uncomfortable with the call, what did I do? I ended the call. They didn't call me again neither did I call them. That was it...


Fast forward to the next same thing happened, same tactics immediately I saw the msg I deleted it too the mumu guy called and I changed am for am. I blasted him to the point he couldn't utter a word. I told if he try calling this number again that I will locate him and pick him up..

Na old format, they will tell u baba wants to pray for u and the motherfucker will start raining incantations for reasons I don't understand

What actually happened? How did you loose the 8k?

No, never. He can as well copy the message and send it to the desire person.

You can be annoying by answering the call and putting a speaker next to it. Just tune up the radio

I just experienced the scam now now Lol.
The werey baba said he go do some prayers for me say I'll need to buy four things which he mentioned to me, then told me i need to buy four schnapps for him that that's what he's going to use for the prayer on his side, i asked him how much and he said each bottle cost #1200 i already know wherw things are going. He suggested i transfer the money to that son or grandson of his because the prayer needs to commence immediately. Then i thought let me search online if this scam has been ravenging before and lo and behold i came across this thread. Ati baba ati omo.. Koni ye awon mejeji
