Too many scammers prowling around now and we need to know how they operate...Modus Operandis!!!
Was it a money scam?Love scam?emotional scam?
If lets refrain from mentioning names...A call out post is still in the making.....post what happened and how you found out you had been duped and how you could have avoided it...Also post where you met this person or if you have met the person at all.
Don't waste your time typing something good and spoil it by adding name oh...e go enter my stew pot
They appear very nice,patient and a little too sweet tongued. They are always too good to be true .Once they gain a little bit of trust,they strike.They are negatively intelligent and inventive therefore they are not to be under-rated.
ReplyDeleteThat's how someone sent me a text message, claiming to have secured a job for me, he mentioned my platoon number, my name and my surname, I ignored bcos I knew immediately it was scam, he sent the message again, and I happened to be in a frnd's house that afternoon, I discussed it with my frnd and her hubby was so angry and insisted I call the scammer, he even gave me his fone, and my frnd was like if u can't cause him very well better let me help you, I called after exchanging pleasantries and all, I asked him where he work, and he said same place he is helping me with, and I told him,'thunder fire you, you will never worked in your life, oya said amen', omo guy ended the call.
DeleteI was driving along surulere last week and this dude ran after my vehicle at one pothole like that, and stopped me . He saw my emblem and greeted me in our manner.
DeleteSaid he was stranded and didnt come out with his wallet.
I gave him 500# even though i know say na format. I was already guilt tripped/embarrassed.
Only for d dude to say
"Please can u add more? I have an empty tank".
I told him to go to hell and find work like his mates. And drove off.
I was so angry.
Gosh, d nerve. If he wasnt on d passengers side, i woulda collected d 500# back sef.
Pls people beware
DeleteScammers have upgraded. They now send messages using a banks name. As in its the bank's name that will appear as the sender. They will ask you upgrade your account or ATM card and tell you to call a number. That was how they used First bank name to text me. Thank God I don't have account with First bank but even if I had a first bank account, I would have gone to customer care instead of giving them any info. Pls don't give anyone info concerning your account. Warn your parents too and elderly aunts and uncles
They send mails now using same bank mail telling u ti click on d something to upgrade your bvn
DeleteA former friend approached me to loan him N1.5m for a contract he had been awarded even showed me the contract papers. Anyway I loaned him the money only to find out weeks later from his wife that there was no contract thathe needed to pay house rent. Never spoke to him again, left him to God.
DeleteLeft him to God? So your 1.5m went like that? Will you go and collect your money!!
DeleteAnon 23:15.. Left him to God gini? Oga stop lying..For a wife to snitch on her hubby even when d money was used to pay d rent of the house she lives in,then something must be there..
DeleteWhere did she tell u dat? What relationship do u have with ur friend's wife that made her snitch on him?
Ahebi u don go fuck ur friend's wife and she had to tell u her Hubby's secret to make u see her as a good woman.. And u come forget the money like that bcos d wife don fuck ur sense comot for ur body and u no wan come hurt her by getting her hubby arrested..
Na so una rich guys dey fuck una broke friend's wives at their back to fund their fake lifestyle..
God is watching u in 3D
Why is he living in a 1.5m house he cannot afford? I don't understand.
DeleteThe greatest scam I had sometime ago was a very pretty lady I met on Facebook, she looked every inch like Rihanna but I got or rather saw a different thing in real life when my order arrived...😭😭
ReplyDeleteHahahaha nonsense guy
DeleteMy first time in Lagos I was scammed of huge amount of money and that was where my hatred for Lagos started. Wish I can type it but too long to write. Most people scammed are also greedy and guilible if you ask me.
DeleteLols... Yoriyori nwa!
DeleteEzege the hustle to survive in this city is real. Almost everybody here is aggressive including beggars..lol
Hahahahahahaha!
DeleteSdk two years ago I sent you a mail asking if any bv has IELTS material to pls help a sister out. That was how one scammer living in Divine Estate Amuwo Odofin contacted me oooh. From ielts discussion that was how guy man told me he's into Canada visa processing oooh. Chai.. I had my doubt though but he showed me pictures of people he helped secured their visas posting with their work permit in canada. The idiot said he doesn't work alone that he has another oga onto in Abuja which will help me process the visa faster.o.k.now. that was how the guy man scammed of hundred of thousands. He asked me to pay the money into his boss account which I did. Later,guy man started acting funny. He will not pick my call nor reply text messages,last last he blocked my numbers. Unknown to him I still kept all evidence of payment intact in my akpati. I was like seriously? This thing happened April 2016,then I just got admission and was very busy with my studies so there was no way I could leave Jos to look for the guy in Lagos. I just exercised patience until I was less busy in this year may..that was when I travelled and reported the con man to the police, efcc and I also got him arrested. He paid my money and he was almost jailed if not for his underground connection. He's a bv and I am very sure he will read this. Mr man if you don't stop scamming people believe me you will end going to kiri kiri before this year runs out.
DeleteSdk bvs let us shine our eyes ooh many scammers are on the loose on this blog.
Please how can I go about getting the efcc involved in a case. I'm in this exact same scenario you just painted now. And like you I think it's time to take further actions
DeleteI was scammed by the hospital, cs instead of normal delivery
ReplyDeleteis your baby dead? what is your problem?
DeleteThank God you are OK. They needed money. That is what most of these hospitals do
DeleteThis is inhuman. Putting a pregnant woman at risk because money. Shame on that hospital. I hope you expose them on social media so other’s can avoid such hospital.
DeleteWow yori is this for real? Even medical practitioners? Thats the lowest it can get.smh
DeleteWhat is normal delivery? So CS is abnormal delivery? How did the hospital scam you? Just say you had to have CS for reasons best known to you, and it's annoying you cos you wanted to be a "Hebrew woman" so bad. That normal delivery you're crying about could've killed you. Better thank God for the life of you and your child.
DeleteThis is sad
DeleteThat is how they kill innocent people with their greediness
I wish Stella would allow me call them out, it’s so painful talking about it, sometimes I
DeleteWish I could give them a dose of karma myself.
anonymous pls hw did it happen so we can learn.
DeleteI'm not the anonymous poster.But I was scammed by the hospital too.Had CS when all indications shows for vaginal.Once they see your HMO card and you work at a good place?They will give you a lesser quantity of oxytocin needed to move the labour along especially for induction.The woman will labor for long without results,then you would hear' madam the baby is distressed we need to go to the theater' at that moment,no choice.Mine was worse than the picture I painted.Now I have to stop at just 3 kids when I want more.
DeleteThey try gaining your trust first, they always have answers to every questions and whatever topic you bring, they can always relate with it. Also na every time something bad is always happening to one of their families. They are Mr and Mrs know all.
ReplyDeleteThey are always patient and land helping hands when necessary just to build that trust in you. They are extra nice. And they tell different people different sob stories and they tell you not to let anyone know about it. They make other people look bad
Lend*
DeleteThey are every where. I am currently in big trouble now because my hard earned money has been taken away from me. I cry every day but God is the person I am putting my trust in.

DeleteScammers are very intelligent
ReplyDeleteThey are really intelligent. I think they use charm on people
ReplyDeleteInstagram scammers so much you have to be careful. They appear to be very cheap so you can be entice
ReplyDeleteThere are scammers on this blog too. They collect people's emails and start sending scam messages to you. Even if you pleaded pleaded something with your email, that will mail you after a few hours and start telling you about inheritance and grants. One even mailed telling they are hiring professional make-up artists for a photo shoot with Puma. Imagine how many bvs who are make up artist thatthey will scam. I cursed him seriously. I'm sure they will ask their victims to pay some money in order to qualify. Useless things
DeleteAll I can say is if you pay your subscription through any of their agents in their office, always confirm by calling their customer care for your existing balance and the date of expiry. I don’t want to mention the name of the reputable organisation ( not telecom oh) otherwise ala ga agbaka. Most of their outlets do some shady deals with customers money.
ReplyDeleteNEPA is sitting on this table.
DeleteI bet you it's the isp that you have to laugh after this.
DeleteA man approached me at CMS junction where I was asking for directions, he was almost crying, dressed very well, that he just need #1000 to get to his destination that his wallet was stolen. So I gave him the 1k. When I was coming back, I still saw him there begging for money. I was like, nawa oh! that was the last time I gave money to beggars. I prefer to give welfare offering in my church or visit orphanage home.
ReplyDeletelol 😂, He must be one the corporate beggars in Nigeria. Shameless lots.
DeleteYes I have experienced that. What pained me most was I gave him more than he asked for and if that would be enough.
DeleteThanks Emjay, i remember one time like that when a number called me to say hello to me,the conversation is below:
ReplyDeleteMee: Hello who's this ?
Him:hi(mentioned my name) can't you remember me,Mr xyz you served in Lagos ifako.
Me:yes I served in ifako gbagada(na lie oooo, served in ifako Ijaiye, immediately I knew it's a scam)
Him:how you doing, are you working now?
Me:no ooo,still looking for job.
Him:there's opening in NSCDC,Will help you work it and you will be paid well.
Me:thank you ooo,in fact I now have msc so please help me push for a bigger pay
Him:no problem let me find out your current pay and get back to you.
Me:but bros why you no give your life to Christ,Jesus is coming soon
Him:Fuck off
End of story
I have had telephone calls from the 'tax agency' threatening me with the law. My dad got a call from someone pretending to be a police officer. They use all kinds of methods to get you to respond and divulge your personal information or send them money.
ReplyDeleteWell jst escaped from one.. Scammers are everywere...
ReplyDeleteRecently I parted with 50k because I wanted to relocate....
ReplyDeleteI hated where NYSC deployed me to... Well!
relocation, i no see.
50k, i no see
Scammer, I no see..
Shortly before I got admission, I was scammed 350k by a close relative, I wanted that MBBS degree at UNN so bad, mum would do anything just to make my wish come true...
Best part?
This relative was relatively poor. So when mum took me down to Enugu for PUME and to meet with the supposed person whom the relative was to hand over the money to, we stayed in his house... At that time, he just got married and his wife was a few months pregnant and sick...through out the period we stayed, mum fed his family, and she treated her free of charge, didn't even collect money for the injections...last last mum didn't even get to meet the person who was to collect the money, because according to relative, he travelled for an agent meeting... After PUME, we had to leave cos mum had to resume work...
To cut short this story, mum trusted him, but this man didn't give anyone the money...he lied.... . His wife gave birth, days later the child died.... Six years later and counting , they still have no child... He has been going from Place to place in the village begging people to beg my mum to reverse the curse she placed on him as a divinist told him that was the only way he could carry his child...
But my mum didn't place a curse on him, it's just that nobody hurts my mum and goes free...not even my dad. It's a pattern I have noticed.... And this pattern is following me too ...i have noticed..
Forgive any gbagaun... I typed in a hurry.
So Atheist believe in supernatural forces?? Just knowing!
DeleteSupernatural forces?
DeleteSky, Every force is natural....the force that makes you fall In love is natural...
The force that makes the earth revolve round the sun is natural... space, gravity, entropy, probability, statistics, fission, fusion, evolution, erosion, techtonics, electromagnetism, love, hate, competition, jealousy, inertia are all natural forces above the human body...the force of genetics, attraction,
The force that makes you think negatively when around negative people and vice versa, any of this could be responsible for the repetitive pattern....
Sky... I would have gone ahead to explain how each could have effected this pattern, but it will probably cause you to swim or sink further in confusion ...
And besides I hate typing....
Me I've noticed that nobody wrongly take my money go scot free. They always pay with their blood. My friends said my God is indeed a living God.
DeleteMMM dealt with me to the extent that whenever Stella write Ubi Franklin CEO of MMM my eyes will pluck out and I will be like arrest him!!

ReplyDeleteLols...everybody na suspect for 9ja.
Deletemy husband was scammed 1.8milllion naira on thursday morning, putting us in huge debt. we have been in tears since then but God is faithful to see us through this trying time. The guy sent fake alert and fake screen shot fake name, we used a friend of ours in the telecom company to check the name on the sim it turns out the sim was registered on wednesday with a womans name which means he purposely registered the sim to scam us. May God fight for us and take peace away from his generation in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteA biggest AMEN. So shall it be Amen.
Deleteo
I was scammed for civil defence job! The idiot called my sister and claimed to know her and even called her name and said he was her former neighbor. Guy man said there was an opening in NSCDC and said we should pay 150k for appointment letter after paying he sent a fake letter with fake letter heading paper. I took the letter to NSCDC office in Zone 5 and they confirmed that it was a fake letter. So we planned to catch him after every every the idiot requested for 300k to change my posting from Borno state to lagos state for training. I told him to come and collect the money cash but he said I should send it through bank I refused na so guy man bone me he knew the game was up but he ate my 150k just like that! I learnt my lesson in a hard way. Since then I don't part with money when looking for a job. When you mention money I just cut off! Many people in Abuja have been scammed for NSCDC jobs!
ReplyDeleteYea right. Reason why they always announce from time to time on hembelembe that people should beware, they aint recruiting.. pele!
DeleteThat's how they told me Shell job, called me and my friend. When I told her and she said she was also called I knew it was fake. Thank God I have a job now and I didn't pay a dime for it.
DeleteYou can catch him na, go to police with the account,they would handle it.I bought a bag 2years ago and some stuff on line, was scammed 45k i no gree o. I got police, they took over and the boys were caught 3months after,talk more 150k
DeleteGot scammed by someone close to me and one I trust. He brought up a biz Idea which I bought into cos it sounded great. Gave him my own part of the money to purchase some machines. Turns out this guy packed expired and cheap products and sent to me to keep and ask that I should not open the boxes yet. Some months passed and we could not start the business because his main business crashed. It so happened that out of curiosity I opened the boxes after a few months and discovered the fraud. Apparently after he took my money he sent me items he previously owned which also contained expired consumables. As God will have it, I'm one of those pple that you can't harm and go free. Unknown to me he scammed me at the beginning of January this year, by end of January his whole business crashed. I've threatened him that I'll go naked and swear and place curses on him if I don't get my money back. It's a very huge sum.
ReplyDeleteKnock knock on my gate. I opened up. I see a nicely dressed young man.
ReplyDeleteMe: What do you want?
Him: I want to see you.
Me: Okay see me na.
Him: Please bro, I am ashamed to do this. I live down the street and always see you pass by. I recently lost my job because I am asthmatic and I got an attack on the job and was laid off. Please I have two kids, we don't have anything to eat. Please help me.
Me: Its nothing, write down your account number here. Bye Bye.
ONE HOUR LATER
Him: Bro thanks a lot. Your family will never be hungry, I am sending my wife and kids to go stay with my mother so I can go job hunting since they are on Holidays anyway.
Me: Ok cool.
TWO DAYS LATER
*Phone rings*.
Me: Hello.
Him: Good evening bro. I have very sad news. My wife and daughter were involved in a bike accident and are currently at the hospital. I am so sad right now.
Me: *genuinely shocked* I am sorry about that. She will be fine.
TWO DAYS LATER
*Phone rings*
Me: Hello.
Him: *Sobs* "We lost her." *sobs sobs sobs*
Me: *Genuinely Devastated* What happened?
Him: She bled to death. I want to go and bury her but the hospital is asking for the balance before they will release the body. *Sobs Sobs*
I cut the call and didn't pick again. Honestly I feel very guilty with myself and the guilt is still eating me up because this just happened yesterday but 1) It took your daughter three days to bleed to death in the hospital after the accident and then the doctors that let her bleed to death are still asking for balance payment before they release her body to you. 2) I met you for the first time on sunday. You claim to live in my neighbourhood but i never saw you for one day. Am I the right person to call in such instance?
Guys help see thing.
Don’t feel guilty. Let him go with the little he got from you. Sound like similar format they on Instagram....I am a mother of bla bla bla, my children and I haven’t eaten food for three day, please help me with 3k.... Lazy individuals.
DeleteHahahaha very funny and not so funny.
DeleteEverybody is a suspect in this Nigeria e
A supposed boyfriend scammed me. Sweet mouth, good dick. He promised me money to start a business but he urgently needed my own money to do something lol. Greed won't let me and I parted with my hard earned 50k. Well, I learnt my lesson because all the signs were there but I was too greedy or maybe I was jazzed
ReplyDelete��������.
DeleteHahahahahaha
DeleteGood dick and sweet mouth. Perfect combination
You were not jazzed. Sweet dick and I love you. You love me cause am.
DeleteSorry, 50k is still small compared to what others have lost m
My story is long but i will manage to summarize. Before then i'm begging you guys to NEVER trust family members (only immediate families) with your money. My mum worked with cbn for 22years before she died april 2014. Been that she only had the 3 of us( myself as the first born, mu brother and junior sis) my dad is out of the game for my mum suffered greatly in his hands. Her pension and everything was handed to me as the 1st child and i was naive and so young then. My mum had 13 siblings (3 from the same mum one died 2 years before mum) and 9 from step siblings. My mum was very close with my aunty. Infact she treated her lyk her own daughter sef! Took care of her children (2 sicklers) did everything for her. That my aunty's husband is an estate agent. Out of trust i took the 7million and gave him to buy a house (i did so without telling my dad) now it's four solid years. No money, no house not even a piece of land. Tried taking him to court but all the judges are criminals too. They all want huge amount from the money before accepting the case. Now i've decided to take him to the king of our state (kano) luckily he'll do something positive about it. I'm tired of typing but will sent in the whole story in detail for chronicle. Bv ummi Hajra.
ReplyDeleteOMG. Don't really know what to say. My prayer is that your king favors you Amen.
DeleteI pray he won't go diabolical
My dear,If they do not return your mother's sweat,they will never know peace and will spend money on things that will drain them financially, amen.
Delete😂😂😂😂
ReplyDeletePreeq will not koba you
ReplyDeleteI used to work in a micro finance bank,A client referred a man to me that needed 200k for his wife cs operation.The bank denied him the loan nd I felt empathy for him..I borrowed him 150k out of my savings to help the situation.
ReplyDeleteThank God he got the balance from friends.The operation was successful.
I gave him 3 months before he will start paying back 30k monthly..I even bought provisions nd clothes for the wife nd baby o..After 3 months,story change brother nd his wife refused picking my calls.I called the client that referred him to me,he said they weren't picking his calls too.Only for me to get to there house nd was told they have moved out...I started crying,how I got home that day I don't know.There nums couldn't be reached after that day.5 years down nd am still yet to forgive them.They took advantage of me.
Chaii..imagine the wickedness of man..hmmm. Anon try and forgive but trust me they will be forever miserable for the rest of their lives here on earth.
DeleteAm perplexed, you're too kind. I love you
DeleteEayah. Sorry and just know that they will lost more than they took from you. That is why people are afraid to help in this country.
DeleteMy dear remain blessed i
Something similar happened to me when I was working in one loan firm. A client came for loan and after I have done his documentation and collected his application fee 20k. My oga keep posting me that he would do my transactiom. And the client wanted to travel so I assured him that my boss would make transfer but he said he doesn't have fuel money to travel so I lent him 10k. Could you believe that my boss came back and refused to do the man's transaction.
DeleteAfter collected application fee and not returning it.
I didn't even have the mind to ask him for my 10k. Some one man businesses would think they can get away with things until God start dealing with them.
Mine happened when i was still very naive.It all started on Facebook with my sister.A lady contacted her on Fb and asked her if she was interested in modeling.She told me about it and i gingered her to try it out.The lady convinced her that she runs a modelling agency and trains models to be professionals.Inshort everything looks very real and the incentives involved was eye popping.They also had a website which made me more interested.At first she requested more of my sister's pics which was sent to her,then they exchanged numbers and started chatting up on whatsapp.I got involved too because i didnt want my sis to be scammed but was unaware that those peeps were more smarter.This lady's voice was so sweet.She had a beautiful pics as her dp.She was calling we both all d time,calling us endearing names like sweety,dear etc.Later She refered us to her partner in Ph,a guy.He was to help us create a portfolio.So we travelled from Aba to Ph to meet this guy.He had no office,and we stood by the road side and had all our conversations.He then collected N10000 from us to create a portfolio for my sis,also took her phone in order to extract some of her pictures to do whatever with his colleague laptop at the airport.Then asked us to come back the next day for her phone.BVs,that was the end of the journey for us.we couldnt contact them again.
ReplyDeleteMy sister's friend who was also aware of the modeling thingy,went to PH too and passed the night in a hotel with the said guy who wanted to take her nudes pictures for the modeling stuff and almost raped her ooh..But the girl na mad onitsha girl,he couldnt have his way anyway.
Last Last he also extorted money from the friend,and took her BB phone too.
N.B-Beware of your dealings on FB..Most of the accounts you see today are fake ones with an unknown pictures.They operate with innocent people's pictures.
They make contact on phone and call you by your name.Some claim to be a pastor or an interviewer.
They send a text and await your response.
Lets all be careful please.These scammers operate very smoothly that you wouldn't even suspect..
#TiredofTyping# #Sorry4mygbaguans#
Couldn't proofread.
Eayah. That is why I don't answer hi on facebook. I don't even accept friends I don't know. Except I want to be naughty
DeleteYoriyori you dey naughty atimes!?😱😱😂😂
DeleteAda-Ide you are too greedy that's why you keep falling into their traps. Only You got scammed 2times.
DeleteHaba nah.
Bia Anony 22:54..Did you read my post at all?When did i say that i was scammed two times? Reading must really be hard for you abi you no dey see well.Kpele ooh!
DeleteGreediness has really enslaved you to the extent of coming under my post to spew trash.Now learn to read and assimilate next time.
Most scammers are intuitive and intelligent. They also ask leading questions to get more info.its best to not rush into anything no matter how good it sounds
ReplyDeleteI left my store to get some stock for replenishment. On my return, my sales associate asked if I knew any inspector Blessing and I replied in the negative. He now told me how a woman came to the store, described me and asked him to sell him a product. Next, she asked him to give her N500 to go pay okada and that was the last he saw the woman. She went away with my product and the money. God will help us.
ReplyDeleteTerrible people every where,, God should please help us
ReplyDeleteI don't even trust my self let alone trusting anybody with my money lolzZ
