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.

Immediately I saw this I started laughing because a lot of us are used to messages like this, we get them everyday. It makes me wonder if people still fall for such scams. At the end of the day when you finally get in contact with them they would ask for your bank informations and their reason is always that they need those details to input in their system but it's all a scam. The effort Nigerians put in to coming up with scam tactics they can actually use that same energy to look for freelance jobs online and get paid. It's disappointing that at this time and age people still fall for this trick.
Even though that there is information every where and the enlightenment levels of people are getting much better there are people who are still in a state of ignorance and easily fall into this kind of trick by these scammers, you may look at it as old scamming format because you have come across it before but not every one is informed about this kind of information.


In the fight against scammers in the country the best tool to me that we will use in fighting against scammers is information sharing because there are people who has perfected the act of scamming people and unfortunately they are also found in this forum posting things and telling members to pm them privately
