Good morning nairalanders.
Someone just flashed me this morning. I tried to call back but after several attempts, it kept showing busy.
Thank God for Truecaller, I searched the number but third name was written "scammer".
I was prepared for everything after identifying him as scammer through my Truecaller. I asked him his name. He simply said Engineer. Then I asked which of the engineer, after little argument....I apologized that my phone was stolen. Then he asked me that if there is a POS agent closed by, I said yes but he doesn't understand English except Hausa. Then he asked me to give him the phone...To my surprise, he understands Hausa very well as well I do. I am the same person acted as POS agent but blocked my nose for my voice to be change. From there I insulted him after some minutes, I called him with my Airtel claiming to be in Lagos, he spoke Yoruba to me when he asked me to transfer the money. The account number has a different name. When I told him I'm in Kano he spoke Hausa, when I told him I'm in Lagos, he spoke Yoruba....Here is the number:
09133610343.....Be warned.... Thank you.

I still do not know how these scammers do it. I mean ripping people off their money is just something I can never feel comfortable with. Some people's conscience has gone into extinction

That's because you have conscience and you not a scammer unless you are aspiring to become one

I pretended to be the same person and POS man....

My friends mum was scammed lately last week with dis same trick. This is how it works. The scammer called my friends mum, claiming to be a friend to one of the woman's daughter who is in school. He told d mum that he wnts to send some money to the daughter, that d woman shud go to a nearby POS stand nd hand over d fone to d POS Attendant. The woman, after handing d fone over to d POS attendant, got lost in d conversation btwn d attendant nd d strange man that called. After few minuetes, d POS attendant successfuly sent #70,000 to an account which the POS attendant believed to may have belonged to the woman's daughter. D matter tie gele that day. It was church members who contributed money to repay d POS Owner. No be juju be dat?

So POS agent transferred money without verifying from the woman?

Is it how they do it in your village?

Women r soft prey. Once they hear MONEY, they loose their sense of reasoning. The POS Assumed d caller nd d woman had reached a level of agreement. Besides, some juju was involved. Its nt ordinary.

Same number dat defaulted my wife
