Just last week, I got a text message written in Yoruba language. The only thing I could decipher was the word 'card'. Of course there were numbers that looked like recharge card pins. I just ignored and deleted the message because I wasn't expecting any such thing from anyone.

Just about 10 minutes later, I got a call from someone asking me to send the message back to him and begging that I should not load the card, that it was intended for someone else. I said no problems.

Three days later, the guy called me and said his father wants to speak with me. I was like, for what? He said the father wants to thank me for the recharge card I did not use. I said, why would I use something that does not belong to me. But he said the father was itching to talk to me. So I agreed to speak with him.

When the father came on the phone, he started showering praises on me, in a tone of an elderly Yoruba man who was struggling to speak English. He said he is surprised that people like me are still in existence. Then he asked me my name and location, which I told him.

Lastly, he asked me where I work and I told him I was looking for a job. Then he started praying for me. However, the thing that he said that made feel that they are scammers was that, the baba asked if anyone was there with me. I said yes. He said he wants to consult an Oracle for me and nobody should be there with me. Immediately, I told him that I don't do oracles and I don't believe in them. And he hung up.

So my question is, are these new methods adopted by scammers? Has anyone here experienced similar stuff? Perhaps others can learn from this.

They only just got to you. It’s not a new method, they’ve been using it for quite a while now. The scam itself is so lame: they send numbers claiming they mistakenly sent it & they ask you to send it back to them. Can you send the same text message back to someone that texted you? its such a really dumb tactic. Eventually they’d tell you to send some cash to appease some ‘demi gods’ for good fortune � for you. They almost scammed my friend. They might call you back? Just ignore and block them idle bastards!

sending the message back to the sender

Are you serious? The moment he asked if someone was there with me, I suspected them. However I doubt they will call back because the moment I said I don't do oracles, the speed with which he hung up was so alarming. Na bad market for them.

the format have been around for long.

It is not scam my bro
It’s a new way for ritualist
Heard of several people who had the call when they were alone after the incantations from the old man the guy started vomiting blood
Thank God for your life for hanging up immediately
People please DO NOT RETURN CARD OR EVEN PICK THEIR CALLS AGAIN.
God help us

Same thing happened to me earlier today.
They sent airtime In 2 parts 1k5 each.
I played the game until the very end and I said to the man "Na ogun go use your blood shower"

[Yes,my boss during nysc. They will tell you words like,you should have built so many houses,that someone in your family is the reason why it has not come to pass,that they are doing ife festival at the moment. And you should send money for them to do sacrifices on your behalf,since you can make it.

Na so they dey do, the desperate and greedy ones fall for them . watch on mitv where one woman looking poor was scammed of about 3m if not more , she sold land as a matter of fact.

I don't understand. You said you deleted the message before they called you?
How then was it possible for you to send a deleted message to someone?

Yes o. new format. I still have the text. I recognized the scam the moment the old man started praying for me and saying if he helps me, I shouldn't forget him.

They are ritualist

You said you couldn’t decipher the text so you deleted it Immediately.what did you send back to them that the where thanking you for? Nna be careful o.

It's been awhile since they started this method. But according to most of the stories I hear about the method is for ritual purpose. Is either the person vanished,or start vomit blood till the person die.
