Yesterday I received a call from someone telling me that I am qualify to receive 75,000 from APC.. that is a fund we should put in our business for growth and whatsoever. I was just having patient to see how where he gonna land on his talk, I sent my account number to them and after few minutes I received an automated code starting with my FCMB as message from the bank without them knowing I knew where they were driving to, I just have to endure to see what they would do. When sent me automated messages to copy code and sent to them, on the process they would call I will pick and they said I should call otp send to me that I shouldn't share with anyone and I said ok, but guess what?
They burned their airtime keep calling me to make sure they got the code but I didn't give them right code till they got tired.

Above is the number and be very vigilant and take note of those numbers, the reason why I didn't blur it is for you guys to know that number and how they are operated. The text Inside the image fully explained everything about how they start.

Please be warned and do not be deceive lot of things is happening in our country and everyone is looking for a way to survive by scamming their brothers and country people.

419 scam in Nigeria has become an old scam ever before which was first brought by an "Nigeria prince" the scam is know as unknown scam which unclear however from my little research "419" refers to section 419 of the Nigeria criminal code which deals with fraud.
The scam's early history is linked to the 1980s, when Nigeria's economy was struggling. Some individuals began sending letters and faxes to foreigners, promising large sums of money in exchange for upfront fees or personal information.

One of the earliest reported cases of the 419 scam was in 1989, when a Nigerian man named Fred Ajudua was arrested for defrauding foreigners of millions of dollars.

However, it's difficult to pinpoint a single individual as the "first" to perpetrate the 419 scam, as it likely evolved from various forms of fraud and scams that existed before.

The 419 scam gained notoriety in the 1990s and 2000s, with the rise of the internet and email, making it easier for scammers to reach a wider audience.
