She requested for some details, contact sent me a link and said I should just view video and after that I should message their finance department on TELEGRAM (https:///Lisa6325) to continue and claim my fee..

So i messaged the so called Lisa.

Then she added me to a group, Benny manages said i will get involved in a particular task and when I am done, I should send in a screen shot as proof that I did.

Like play, like play, I did the first two task which has a reward of #600.

The money was sent, then to me it was becoming real and too good to be true.

I forgot to mention that, the guy from WhatsApp said if I complete a task that I will be able to comment on the telegram group. I did the tast and still yet they didn't allow me comment. That was the first red flag.

Then came to ask three... I was was sent a link (https://jobmagnet.top), then was told to create an account and send money to a particular account that I will get a percentage profit back. They had different options...

This is the link to the group which is still locked so no way to even reply anyone.

I think everyone that's an admin in that group are all scammers and they make it look like they are truly receiving money becuse they post alert evidence.

Of all the information provided here the only part that tickles your fancy is the tribal part?
Scammers are everywhere. In every tribe.
Most don't use their real names. Yoruba scammers use Igbo names and vice versa. Stop thinking through your anus.

That's what the Ronu people do. They will use other tribes names to hide their identity. if you want to confirm. reply their massage with deep local version that Google can't translate.

Lol.... dem don reach yur side too? Someone contacted me, with indonesian number on whatsapp (no dp) talking about one AfricaOnNetflix bla bla, I just told him not interested. But he urged the work is simple and na review something. The moment he mentioned salary and said 600 naira, I know say na our naija people.

I contacted their finance officer and I started with watching a video for some seconds on the AfricaOnNetflix ... I collected 600 naira.

The followind day, I did task i and 2, and got 600 naira again cheesy And I am to continue to task 3 and 4, and na to deposit money in various levels for a cash back.

Me already know say I no go ever part with my money give anyone grin if dem like make the cash back be 1 million cheesy I just kno say na scam tinx. And they will be commenting rapidly on the group about how they have gotten their cash backs etc.
One of the red flag there is that the admin said none in the group should contact one another cheesy yeye people.

Anyways, me don use their N1200 for sub, grin na me gain grin
