Please pardon my grammatical blunders, I've not fully recovered.

Around 11am today, this number ( 07025732072) called me about the job advert I applied for on JIJI . NG, I was excited. He said, he is a Barrister from Abuja that his company has a branch in Lagos and he is willing to add me to his workers, I was happy. He said his secretary will send a code to me, then I should send the code back to him so that my name can be added. Which I ignorantly did.

Around 1pm today, my brother called me and said 'what rubbish are you posting on Facebook' I was surprised! I tried logging to my Facebook account ' incorrect password' then I knew something was wrong somewhere. I went to my email address, I saw about five messages from Facebook starting that my email and phone number had been changed, then I knew I was in trouble.

I then login to my Facebook account via my email to change my password, my email and some rubbish post on my Facebook account.

After that, I went to my messages, I realized this person has sent ' OPAY INVESTMENT' message to all my FB contacts, I was confused. I had to send a counter message telling them it was a SCAM and that my account was HACKED. A particular friend of mine said, he had called the number and they told him to pay some money.

Please Everybody, be careful of the information you reveal online. The little information I revealed on JIJI . NG has put me in trouble. I will never use JIJI again.

Scammers are real!!

Hackers are also real!!

I am really disappointed at you. You are a lawyer,spent 5years in the tertiary institution and went to law school. Yet you think an employer will need a code sent to your phone for whatever. He has your CV which contains all the personal educational and work information about you. Yet his secretary is meant to send you a code,then you send the code to him?
I guess you were very desperate for a job which eroded your common sense.
I have seen hundreds or thousands of posts on social media about hackers sending codes to people to hack their social media accounts. Yet you fell for this stupid low grade format.

The Day Nairalanders no go fall for scam again Na that dey I comot for Nairaland....Even all this car for jiji 80% Na Yahoo Yahoo fake

what are you saying? I never said I am a law graduate or were you the person that hacked my account.

My facebook account of over 8yrs was hacked. Couldn't retrieve it till date.
