And today this same thing happened to one of my close friend too, em no tell me even when I ask her until when we done reach POS shop nah she tell me, then i tell her make she no send the money say nah scam and i still tell her make she make call her family person first ask questions, and so she did,,, finally finally, all nah scam.
So all this long story be say make we dey careful as scammers done enter streets with another formula.
It's kind of funny how both you and your friend nearly almost fell for this potential Xmas scam you just narrated in the story above, because to me, this scam do not look ordinary, as I'm sure those callers most have gone an extra miles just to make you believe first whatever they may have told you without arguing, before considering to make an inquiry about your mum's health. So hence, this should be a very huge lesson to all both newbies and old members here on this forum not to forget to take precautionary measure this Christmas season whenever they notice a strange number calling.
