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.

If you deleted the message, how were you able to send it back?

Re: Is This A New Method Used By Scammers? by Parkiz(f): 8:18am On Oct 30, 2018
it happened to my husband
when he told me I didn't c any big deal in it but when the call became persistent I had to tell him to hang up ( I'm a very sensitive person)

he didn't c anything wrong with the call I became scared knowing the world we live in. right there I began to imagine terrible things n became so so uncomfortable

at a point my husband had to go n c someone in the neighbourhood just then the call came in again.

the man kept praying n all that

he left the house and went where he wanted to go after answering the call

I became really restless

I ya went in search of my man

make them no use jazz call him to locate them

funny enough wen I got to where he was I met him at a corner receiving the same call

I just collect fone from him hand

I don't want want wahala.




PEOPLE HAVE TO BE SENSITIVE TO SITUATIONS.

MAY GOD CONTINUE TO KEEP US SAFE.

Hello Nigerians. I want to inform you of a serial fraudster in town especially on social media. He operates majorly on instagram with the instagram name Bernard flip cash and with Whatsapp no 08123146906. He posted some fake chats purportedly from people that have won money on the flip cash scheme. The chat testimonies are so convincing one will be tempted to try it. The moment you do, he will send you this account to pay the money you want to flip AGBADU BONIFACE 1130816296 POLARIS BANK. He keeps calling with these numbers 09078262945 and 08027135058. Immediately he receives the money, he blocks your number from calling him & also blocks you from Whatsap chat. He's a serial fraudster and please forward this message till it gets to the Police & EFCC. Don't blame people who have fallen victim. Save others from becoming victims. You could be saving a life.

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.
person vanished? please let the call me and let me see if i will vanish. nigeria will never go forward because of these ritual mentality
