I didnt take my phone to church today as it was on charge, so when i returned i saw 2 missed calls one was from my jnr sister and the other was from a strange number.

So i returned the call from the strange number and it turned out to be a young man (from the voice) according to him his old father mistakenly sent #1000 recharge card to my phone and he was pleading for me to send it back.

I hung up to check my phone and almost immediately i received a text message with airtime pin and #1000, called back the number gave him the pin and advice him to be more careful after awhile the number called thanking me he also said his father (the old man who sent the card) wanted to thank me.

I greeted the old man and he sounded happy and was blessing me, my people this man was blessing me until according to him his credit wan finish so he suggested i give him a call. me not wanting to disrespect an old man and receiving blessing from the elderly (who wouldn't like that).

I called back and the blessing continued untill...
Happened to me before o
He called himself one name like that
I think he is an herbalist

My small credit was exhusted and i rush my guy phone make i use him credit call the papa, the old man would ask ur business and he would bless that angle.

As my guy wake up hear the nature of the call naso him vex say na fraudster i use him credit dey call, i hung up he began to give me instances and people who have been victims.

According to him after you have trusted the oldman the fraudster would initiate a discussion that would warrant you to send money to him, i just weak, two minutes later he called back and i told him i dnt have credit to call him back he hungup immediately.

Who have experienced such? Sorry for the typos

I have. It was one useless Yoruba boy and his stupid Baba. The stupid Babs would tell you how the bad people have kept you down in poverty. He would prophesy and pray for you.

Mine followed same sequence just as yours. And the foolish old man will be talking small-small, like somebody who is administering a final blessing on you, after which he will die.

If you had continued with the call, he would have asked you to buy some fetish things for spiritual prayer that will make you prosperous.

In my own case, immediately he mentioned the stupid items to buy, I cut him off by telling him I was a Christian.

What I do when ever I receive such calls, I will insult the idiot and still tell him to return same insults to his useless Baba.

Even if it's not a scam, why do you want one person to be praying for every facet of your life? Sotey your credit is finishing. Because your own prayers don't work?

Someone sent you an airtime PIN from their phone, why on earth would you need to send it back to them.

The text message they sent is still in their phone even if they have thrown away the airtime paper slip and can't have access to it.

What I'll simply reply him would be "Sir, if you texted me airtime PIN, then you should just check your Sent messages and retrieve the PIN from there, I don't recharge PINs from unknown numbers"

This scam is smart, it first assesses how intelligent you are before engaging further.

It started like 8 years ago, they are usually from ijebu, ogun state, ekiti and lagos state. Next time just cut off the conversation because they can manipulate you with Cham and you will just be sending all your money to them.

This isn't new. I don't even know result or what the callers stand to gain in this.

I've gotten multiple calls from them. On one of such calls, after the usual story, I told him that I haven't received any text and he told me to hold on for him to recheck. The idiat sent figures and called me back to resend. I asked him why he didn't send it to "Baba" directly, only for the idiat to hang.

Well, whatever their intention is, it didn't and will never work on me.

Hmmm, yeah I have heard about it before. It's about scamming people.

But it's a thing of using common sense to analyze situations before venturing.
First, if you sent a message to someone wrongly, when you noticed the error, is it not to resend the .message to the correct intended recipient? why would someone say you should resend back doesn't he have it in his sent messages box?

How would someone call and claim to be a banker and that you should call out your account number, doesn't he have it on his computer?

Or that you have just won yourself something and you know you didn't participate anything requiring an award, do you answer such a person?

Or that the FG has given you Covid 19 parliative you should do something to claim it,
all these are regular scams in Nigeria that everyone should be aware of but still many are ignorant and greedy. people who fall for 419 are usually very greedy.

In any situation, grab your common sense and use it, they will flee from you.

Yeah I experienced it but I already had knowledge of it due to a viral WhatsApp voice note some years ago


It started wity the person asking my tribe after I have already sent back the credit.. I already understood, I ended the call and blocked the number.


Its actually jazz they use to hypnotise you.. The moment they start praying for u and its sweeting u. U Don enter..


ThankGod for that ur guy wey help u
Ntos I don’t think it’s jazz.. cause I’ve had conversation with many of them for a longer time.. cause I hate when I call a scammer with my airtime.. I must make sure they waste some airtime calling me also.. so I pretend to be interested while I’m trying to recharge 2k from my bank account but it’s not going through.. I’ve had calls several times and when I discover it’s them I take my time to waste their time especially when I’m free…

Old format.

But the particular style I knew was the juju one, the baba will start raining incantations or something like that or hypnotist the person via juju.

The point is avoid any long talk with them.

Nothing like hypnotize here na greed, typical Nigerian no dey take ear hear God, pastor, malam and blessing, send my number to the man let them hypnotize me let me see na.

Make i clear you now, it was not for scam but for rituals, you get luck and better thank you God. The do called old man is a native doctor (baba) soon he will ask you to get some materials to bless you more then start incantation on your head while you reply Ami.. a neighbor lost his brother to that in 2020. Be careful next time, once you get such nonsense block the line and delete the message. They gave the massage in their inbox why tell you it's a mistake.
