My office is just off that 'Big leaf' building. I always wondered what went on in that building seeing the very few no of people that walked in and out from the building. Looked abandoned for a while till I noticed queen movements like people still walking in and out of the building past work hours at 9pm sometimes.
Didn't surprise me when I heard of the bust/raid.
I'll miss the food vendors that milled around those late nights. Amaka, the abacha girl. Sweet curves, I could have curved...lol

who knows, they just might train AI models to do some of such jobs.

Such schemes already exists for a long while now.

If I were the Chinese people, I would set up 2 separate centers, one small and one medium. The small is where initial interview and trainings would happen; the moment we see potential in you, move you onto the 2nd center, after which we issue you a Chinese passport to move you to China. The moment you land at thhe China Airport, na to seize your passPort till you work for an a number of years which would already be communicated to you long before you are transported

Chinese are really smart this last submission made me realise that corruption is not racist or tribalist. It gets want it want and how it wants it.
I have always said this but some self loathing werey people think only Nigeria and Nigerians do such things. I feel it's mostly that our people too dey make noise. Show show don finish us. That's why e come be like say na we do fraud pass.

Not only Chinese o. If you hear about crime rings from Russia, the USA and even Europe, you go know say we dey learn work.

The first time I was scammed in my life, na eediots from the USA scam me. That's why I dey fear anything wey concern investment wey no be TB or MMFs and the likes. E better I go buy land build house sef. Anything else, my caution button go dey fully activated.

And what is wrong with Opay or palm pay? If Opay (which I use) had not come on board do you know how stuck we would have been with the incompetence of regular naija banks? Do you know the improvements naija banks have had to make to avoid them loosing their business to the opay and palm pay? How many naija banks will you use their apps to make transfer that you are guaranteed the money will get there or return immediately if there is failed transaction. Or will warn you and give you probability report on downtime of another bank? Opay that you can through the app do so many things eg take a loan, invest in FD, pay your bills, make online purchases, pay for goods in China etc.
Abeg Opay is the new ice cream, the birthday cake, the new wife yellow with big headlights and bakassi.
You dey mind the bloke, small thing dem wan generalise

Don't mind that person jare. Some people don't like progress at all. They don't even know the meaning of a fintech company. Opay and palmpay have saved many Nigerians. I see some people badmouthing Opay and Palmpay then I'll ask them "what do you people really want". Someone creates solution to issues within the banking industry just to make your lives easier and then you try to demarket them because they are Chinese. Why?

This is why I always say Nigerians are still learners in cybercrime. The Asians and Russians are the real deal when it comes to online fraud and cybercrime in general. Naija are just loud mouthed and noisy. When work send you $200 iTunes card you go begin dorime for club.

Chinko. Stay away from fraud. Well, I have always known crypto to be a world wide ponzy scheme
It shows that you know nothing about what you're saying. Cryptocurrency is codes in form of digital asset or money, while Ponzi is a system or process whereby you collect monies from two or more people to pay the first person a higher amount. This is never sustainable as the target is usually to gather as much money from people and disappear.

These are the idiots that always create YouTube profiles and Instagram, tiktok profiles and you will see messages like: I am lonely, I need a friend from Paris, I need a friend from America, I need a friend from so so and so with some beautiful profiles. Those on YouTube will always flood those financial yt channels claiming to be thanking one particular Mrs.Alllot of telegram that helped him solve his crypto problems. Other fake accounts will start praising her and recommending others to her that she helped them too. Na so people go fall for their scams. I have thought that it is a new format and likely being promoted by foreign collaboration.
Efcc and bribe too. They need to purge these people . NDLEA are those that are really doing better job with less distractions.
I recently got a pop up message on WhatsApp asking me if I need a job...


I said I already work... So she said it is a world from home. Or from even my job kinda job... It takes just little time ND pays well

Next is do u have a telegram account..? I said yes . She sent me a link in telegram ND I was directed to a whatsapp group where I HV an admin all to myself sh as me to download temu app. I did,

Sh said the work is all about promotion in of temu traffic and mk. It seems like shopping in on the app on is crazy... I will b paid 2k for just downloading d app...

I should send acct number, i did.. and 2k was forwarded.. I withdraw and use am order bread first chop


Next is a whatsapp group with like 50ppl on the list was opened and I was reading chat opp ppl waiting for the task.

My admin told.me I can't get involved in the chat cus I a not yet regularized...I can only view...okay...I was viewing..

Sh told.me my first task b at exactly 12pm...and it will b a link...if I opened it I should send her the pic I saw in the link...it was very very simple...I felt comfortable at last...

When it was 12sharp..the link dropped and everyone on the chat were in a hurry to b the first to post the pic on the group chat..I opened the link it was a temu displayed handbag and price tag on it site..I screenshot or download and send her the pic...same.pic was sent in by all the member of the group chat...


Sh praised me...and told me the next task was 40min later...by exactly 40min..same was repeated..sh praise me again..then sh told me the next for min..will b same type of task...and the first three are the stage one...


I completed the stage one easily..

Then the doubt began... mention me if u want t know what is it..felt like no one is reading

You are on point. When people talk about cyber crime they think Nigeria. But with the recent development I know we are no where near there. Imagine leaving your country to set up shop in Nigeria. I take my hat off for the Chinese.

You know, when we talk, those silly self loathing people will never reason but think we're trying to support criminals and their acts but my experiences made me understand that craze person no be only Naija dem dey.

European and American hackers and crime rings, doing both drugs, illegal weapons trade, prostitution and money laundering, loan sharking and the rest, only a little glimpse will make one see say even Nigerian guys dey go Malaysia and Indonesia go learn formats.

But na our head dem dey put the whole blame.

Like the scam wey dem still glaringly run in African economy and politics no reach to tell these self loathing people say na dem be baba of crime. It's just like the father of all liars calling others liars.

This fraud thing is a global syndicate that would be difficult to nip in the bud.
most of these brief case investors in our urban centers are fraudsters.

Baba, yiu just proved you dont know exactly what crypto is. You think you do but you dont.
How can you call crypto a world wide lonzy scheme. Haba.

If you say people use crypto to defraud or for ponzi scheme , I maginot argue with you.
But saying crypto itself is a ponzi scheme is being mischievous.

Crypto is the short form of cryptocurrency.
It is a form of decentralized currency but in digital form.
It has its own banks which are called exchanges.
That's the clearing house for payment.

Forget, what yiu dont know is bigger than you.
I have got much more ro say but let me stop here.

Believe whatever you want.
Peace.

there flood facebook and X .
there are the ones who use lovely pics as their DP, accept your friend request almost immediately because there are always online, like your post on social media and if you are the one that checks who liked what you posted , you will notice its a spoof account of an established politician or a beautiful person .
Don't ever click on any link in your whatsapp or social media accounts , block every account of a politician who likes your comment especially on Facebook and don't accept friend request from any account that is suspicious (most of them are less than a month with few friends , some only post pictures of ladies dressing provocatively etc.

Ok thanks bro..

I completed the first star without any fuss... And sh said the second stage will b in 1hours time I should be ready...

While I was waiting, everyone on the chat were so so excited and expectant of the next stage... Saying things like..."This is my favourite stage".."I have been waiting for this stage since morning"...."this is where my real money making begins"..."I can't wait" ....etc.

Ok, e reach 1hr later sharp... Instructions dropped, telling especially newbies that they should follow instructions correctly...and choose their level of payment, they also release some amount of investment and amount to be earned from it appropriately..

For example, make payment of 12k which is the lowest and after the task u get 3k....in the next task, u can't repeat the 12k.payment..u must go higher...and like say 20k to earn 5k..etc...it's a three task stage before the next stage again..


So I asked my admin, that I dnt understand, sh them explained that links as usual will drop, I will opened them as usual....but this time around same item will b on different sizes...that I will not only snap and send this time, i must make payment for one of the sizes, send receipt to her and long side the picture of the item..
.sh said it is done that way to create a data of massive orders from temu apps by various ppl in order to promote the app as a very busy one


Sh also added that after about 15mins, my initial payment will be credited back to me..with a little token for helping the stage the fake purchase...omoh, it sounded well organized and purposeful...but me I can't take that risk....

As I was gisting with her, ppl on the group all seem to be making payment... posting their payment receipt ND saying the option of item size they bought..they posted with the pix of the item ..so fast like they are trying waiting fo it..

Me I was confused ..looks like I was left out..but the street man in me still resisted the payment...so I thought about something .....

Plz mention me if u are still following

I chatted up one of the ppl online to ask where this payment is real and whether the set up was real or where sh has ever received any money... I prefer female cuz them dey hard to spoil or u fit easily catch lies when them lie...


As I was waiting for her response... Credit alert started coming to those that made payments... I made sure to screenshot the names on the alert... ND when pay to each ND every payment receipt for everyone that paid to mk sure it's who sends that received... Yes, it all matched with the stated bonus on payment...

The alert came in almost all the banks I know, opay, keystone, gtb, access palmpay... And names where normal naija names..... But mostly northern names... Like 60% northern names... The congestion of northern names finally killed my spirit as I know southerners no they use ear hear money .. ND if they are not much , then it means temu is bigger in the north, which is not true...


I waited ND waited for this ladies reply, sh never replied till today Wich is bout one month ago.. my admin didn't even urge me on... Sh only ask me why I didn't complete the task nd i told her I was scared of scam...

Sh told me it's not a scam but if I fear, I should not bother... Sh is till on my chat till date but doesn't disturb me
