Another Scammer
Sometimes, you wonder why people fall for cheap scams?
You know and feel this has been done one too many times that every single individual on the planet of proper age and capable of making an investment should be aware of. Unfortunately, where ignorance resides, a sad story is likely to always follow.
Over the weekend, on Thursday to be precise, a scammer approached me with a known account on Facebook messenger and tried to run a scam scheme on me. As usual, with some super or too good to be true promises of doubling your investments in 45 minutes. I wonder how they even come up with these too good to be true promises and expect people yo fall for it. Fortunately for them, some people still do and I say this becuase, the owner of the account I was contacted with did and that's how, her account and money where chartered away.
It no longer ends with the money you fund them with in choosing an investment plan people, your details as you input them are used to hack your social media accounts and use reputation to make contacts with your friends in search of a potential victim.
Here is a screenshot of the discussion that ensured between myself and the scammer in possession of my friend's account.Also, a copy of a fake Credit alert to a local bank account belonging to the hacked users account to make the trick more convincing. I covered the users name with the blue lines whole, the scammer covered the users balanceAlso, the scammer crafted a wall of text that was reflected on the users status as a form of awareness campaign.Wow I'm so glad right now I have been credited from this wonderful platform it was a friend of mine that introduce me to this platform this morning it's not like an mmm or a Ponzi Ponzi I invest on it I was credited in not less than one hour I invest 40k I was credited with 80,000 I will advise everyone to give it a try the platform is really paying this morning

Using this trick, this friend of mine was scammed of $100 and got her account hacked as well to try same trick on her friends being myself and others. Fortunately for me, beauty has got no place with me when it comes to investment and I am very much aware of these diluted tricks. It even claims to be legally registered!
Anyway, the scammer tried to be persuasive and even promised to test me out by making a $18 investment on my behalf and upon getting my profit, I was to refund the capital. All that was needed was my local bank account details and working phone number (You could see that in the screenshot above but not my details though). Of course, I gave those out, its not a private detail and no harm could come off it. It's been 2days now and the scammer is yet to make contacts with me, lol!
Things to note and conclude on this to be a scam1. Too good to be true promises (X2 of invested capital and more still, in 45 minutes). Its a red flag.
2. The faked alert has got no session identity number (hence, transaction isn't verifiable). Red flag.
3. Whom ever could double his or her capital in 45 minutes won't contact you on social media (that's some rich fellow and you should sort them out). Red flag.
CAUTION
* Never be in a hurry to invest.
* Never pick up ponzi schemes for an investment package.
*Avoid too good to be true investment plans
* when contacted with a known account on social media, contact the users cell phone number if trusted to be sure.
* Always separate business from pleasure, the two doesn't go.
One way to help out to further dilute this scheme and save others from falling into these scams, write a scam notification on your page, tag the hacked user and a lot of other friends before posting. That way, the post would be displayed on all your pages and the public would be cautious.
Scammers are out there and so we all should be warned!
