Lols. This old format is what they're trying to revive? TPain brought more theft in the land.

Someone fell for this format in my area and instead of the scammer to send money to the POS person, it was the POS person that ended transferring N160k to the scammer saying the person that brought the phone to the POS person is with the transfered money and will give cash to the POS person along with the charges.
