How I Was Almost Scammed Today by zikIPE(op): 8:52pm On Dec 31, 2015
So, today being new year's eve is a really special day in my family; Second only to christmas and my birthday. I was relaxing on my own, waiting for the new year to come to me so i could start calling everyone on my contact list. Then i got a text message saying that my ATM card had been deactivated due to my BVN registration. They asked me to call +2348148686849 in order to reactivate it. I knew it was a scam already but still wanted to follow it through(curious me).
.
When i called, he claimed to be a customer care representative at CBN. He asked me to get my ATM card while he boots up his system(probably to login to konga/jumia)and call out the numbers written on the front to him. Halfway through this step, i asked him "oboy, so you wan scam me??" and he was like I wan scam you?? (N/B: this guy is supposed to be a CBN customer care agent ooh). Then he said something in the local edo language and cut the call. Na so this people wan take me do new year sad sad

These scammers are not smiling o, the bastards are hard at work daily. The sad part is some of their scams, although cheap, are well-perfected enough that if they were legitimate business tricks, would guarantee profit for businessmen.
