How can anyone in his or her right mind fall for this?

*Please, you all should beware of the activities of scammers. The story I'm about to share is a private encounter I had with one of them last week.*



The scammers of this out present time are always coming up with " *innovative* " ways of moving their " *ministry* " to the permanent site. One of them contacted me two days ago, he (but he put a female profile picture of an American lady) is my Facebook friend, and goes by the name, Sheryl Brutus. She (I meant he) also claimed to be from Ohio, in USA and a single mother of two. She claimed that she was the CEO of TekSystem Inc. That the company was about to penetrate Africa and they have already built a plant in Kenya. She also said, they have sent their delegates to discuss with the Nigerian government. After chatting for some time, she said she was not always available on Facebook that she would like us to chat on iChat. When I told her that I was not on iChat she promised to send me an iPhone 7 and a MacBook Pro Laptop the following day so we could further discuss (on business terms). So as not to bug you with much details, the following day, she sent me those pictures, which according to her contains the details of the Apple devices she sent plus $1500 USD attached to it so as to make up for any other expenses. All along, before this time, I thought it was a genuine connection, until I related the matter to one of my siblings who made it clear that it was not genuine. My sibling had to disclose the encounter someone had with one of them some weeks back. So, I had to do a further research online, and that got my eyes opened to the fact that it was really the work of the "Yahoo Guys" looking for the "Maga" that would fall into their trap, but this time around, it was in a more RE-BRANDED way. So, the trick is that, you will be asked to call the customer service (0703 623 2919) of one Emirate Sky Cargo, who according to them, would clear and bring it to your destination but you would be asked to pay some money before the delivery. In my case, it was #47500 but I know that if I had paid them that amount, they would have demanded for more. Surprisingly, when I called the guy, he disguised his voice with a software which can make a male's voice sound like that of a female. It would require paying careful attention before you would be able to detect it. I also had to record the conversation.
As the conversation went on, I had to declare to him, "Na God Go Punish You!" ,he pretended as if he didn't hear me clearly. So, I repeated it, "Na God go Punish You!" Having realized that the bubble had already bursted, he dropped the call on me. Before I could even block him on Facebook, he was the first to do so. The point is, this time around, everyone should be careful so as to avoid STORIES THAT TOUCH THE HEART!"

There's no letter P in Igbo language. It is 'Kp' as in kpi, kpa, kpu, kpe, kpo...
All those names there are spelt beginning with 'k'

bigfrancis21:


Palunna - lift God ‘up’.

Puoluchiome - a new dawn/beginning in God.

Panyechiekene or Pachi for short. Give God thanks.

Paludo- be full of peace. Soludo would be, in the footsteps of peace.

Paosisochukwu - some Enugu dialects say ‘pa’ instead of ‘ka’. As it pleases God.

Many Igbo names start with Igbo verbs and not too many Igbo verbs start with P. So it’s going to be a tough one.

Here's a quick solution -
1. Get in touch with mtn on twitter.
2. Google might be of help if you search with the right keywords.
3 & 4. Use Cortana or any app that supports voice/audio search and sing the songs exactly the way you remember it.

Thanks a lot on these advise.

The only one I haven't tried is MTN on Twitter. I've even used Shazam to voice record. And I've been combing Google for sometime now.

pfadom:
How much will you give for the four songs? Nothing goes for nothing! No free lunch anywhere not even in Freetown.

Abeg na, my head don scatter here.

There are some songs I'd give anything to get a link of where to download them.
1. All the songs in that MTN yellow CD back then.

2. That Nigerian 1999 Youth Championship song.
"E bata go obodo oma"

3. I don't even know who sang this song that goes like this: "Sweet, sweet, sweet banana sweet, have you taken banana all" and children's voices would scream "Yes!!" (I need this one like mad)

4. A song that goes like this: "Will you be there eh, will you be there eh, everybody is coming to town, so come let's go, come let's go, aye ye ye, Trading bouncing, aye ye ye."

Please links or any clue on how to get these songs? I'm going crazy here.
