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.

Hahaha, this thread really reminds me of those days when these type of scams were very common, I didn’t even know that they’re at still using the same scam attempt to defraud people. Back then, I’d receive a text like this or call from strange people almost twice or more times in a day, claiming I’ve won some kind of prize that I can’t remember participating in. And whenever they called, I’d always try to mess with them, even when it gets to the point of calling the OTP or my card details. I’d always mess with them until they finally figure out that I’m only messing with them and they’ll stop calling. I’ve even went as far as taking and sending them screenshots of a fake payment which I claim to have made to their account, and I can never forget the Joy that engulfed them that day before they realized it was all a lie and that I’ve just wasted their time and airtime. The whole thing was just so satisfying to watch

This is an old scam scheme, be like this men done run out of strategies to use perpetrate their illegitimate activities on unsuspecting ignorant Nigerians. It's very disturbing how some set of persons will just seat somewhere and calculate how they can milk the already suffering and struggling Nigerians of their funds that are not even enough to take care of their basic needs by taking advantage of the hunger way day the land to take scam poor Nigerians. Sincerely we are better than this as Nigerians this isn't our culture and norms we're known for.

I swear they have ran out of strategies some are even using email address to scam people, there was a post i shared where they tried to someone using an email that look like CoinBase email address tell her confirm that action is required, but the email address was not the email CoinBase is using  here is the email address info@info.coinbase.com, while CoinBase is using support@Coinbase.com. In conclusion we have to be very careful and avoid all this common scam.

This is an old trick na, something that we have seen many times and even some old women in the villages know this is a scam. For this Nigeria, person go dash people money for free? Tinubu that is looking for ways of taxing us to death will dash random people free N75,000? Anytime I receive this kind of message containing free money or any enticing thing, na delete I dey delete am straight so I don't get tempted to pay attention to such message.

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.

Let me ask you Madam, when the scammer called you, didn't try to waste his airtime small? If I'm the one the scammer called, I will pretend to be flowing along and the scammer will continue talk before him go know, we will be turning round and round wasting his call card until he dicover I know his trick and intentionally wasting his time and money.

[Y3shot]

Before this same scammer they will call you and say they are calling from the bank and banks has already informed customers to know that they will never call any of their customers on phone to collect any details from their customers, if any call comes from the bank at all they will be ask their customers to come to the bank. They know this format of scam is well known,  and now they are using APC as format because they know this goverment and party is well known for sharing money to people for them to get what they want. It I'd unfortunate that many will fall for this scam.

[Gozie51]

Lol... If no be government wey bad, na 75k person go dey look at putting into bizness, too poor. Na country wey spoil, hunger dey and scammers too dey hussle.

Anyway, this na old strategy and e don cast a long time. E good as you bring am come share here make people still sabi say scammers still dey everywhere.

Some times people still dey fall oo. I remember one funny story wey one aged man around 60 years take speed enter road as him still dey wear clothes dey run go bank abi POS to block his account as him begin see series of debit alert for him phone . Him want run go block him account first before him go begin share the story of how "bank" people called him and requested some number from him that someone wants to send him money.  Lol. We need to dey careful.

Wow! What nuance, and this can not be quickly noticeable if the users is not careful not note the difference especially if he's not well aware of how the genuine coinbase address should look. People have to be very vigilant and should as well spend time to be in line with or up to date with the platforms they are making use of, in which way it would help them stay steps ahead and guided from falling for their scammers in such petty move.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

So Naija scammers never upgrade? Lolz, because this one na old scamming method wey dem dey use since 2010 nah, how the hell did he expect people to fall for this kind juvenile tactics in this modern era wey people eyes don tire, coupled with the Pro Shege wey Baba Tinubu dey cause wey don tire people eyes the more than before. Because it's quite unfortunate for some people instead of looking for jobs, will just sit at home and carry phone and the only thing that could come there mind is how to scam people of their hard earned money in this hard economy. Because infact, if Federal govt is going to give empowerment grant, is it common #75k wey no go fit buy common a bag of rice they go wan give? Because it's just kind of sad how some scammers even reason sef,  because eh get the kind money he for mention now eh, like #5million, and I swear Smartgold01 for fall for am, but he go fvck up big. Lol 😂
However, in a nutshell, let's always strive to be always careful, so as not to fall victim to these scammers.

[Richbased]

Even though say na old scam method be this but e get people wey go still fall for dis kan scam format, reason being that they have not been exposed to such scams method before. No be today we begin see things like this sha, since the COVID time na so dis scammers no dey rest with this kan calling and texting scam format, some times sef dem go say federal government wan do disbursement omo nothing person eye never see for scammers hand abeg so people wey go still fall go fall sha because some people naturally no dey like use ear hear about any free something na so dem go dey rush till dey scam dem na their eyes dey open. OP is good you bring it to our knowledge here because even as a lot of people wey comment for here dey say na old scam but e get some people wey e go dey new for their eyes too make dem for dey careful.

I sha know say as FG pay youth service corps members $77k na so scammers go begin dey use different strategy wan scam people make dem for believe say the federal government wan help people. Make dem go carry there life do something meaningful because e get wen time go reach e go dey difficult to scam anybody because people dey dey very vigilant now sha.

[Jaycoinz]

Dis format no be today e start now, but I like d way you carry d matter come here, at least make people learn from am. Wetin those scammers want na just that OPT code, immediately you send that code give them, then Dey go move all the money wey Dey account, na why no matter Wetin we Dey do, no Dey send that OTP code give anybody.

I don’t really know Wetin Dey do us for dis country, na just how dem go steal, na him plenty people Dey look for, I know say country hard, but e no come mean say we go Dey do fraud now. Most of those scammers na old people or illiterate na him dem Dey look for, because dem sabi say na those people go Dey easy to scam.

Money wey some people use 30 days or more work for, person go just come, move the money from account, Abeg wetin d person go Dey chop, dis kin thing self fit make some people commit suicide, or fit cause some health problems for some people again self. Abeg make people stop all those rubbish now, country hard, buy fraud no suppose be option.

This is an old scam scheme, be like this men done run out of strategies to use perpetrate their illegitimate activities on unsuspecting ignorant Nigerians.

Na waiting my mind the tell me be that, say the ops risk too much already by sending his account number to them in the first place since he already knows that those guys calling him are scammers and to hack his account and take control of the funds in them, far from it that ops wasted they airtime because those scammers have tons of airtime to waste because there have hacked accounts in their possession that have balances and they keep sending airtime to their number from such an account so airtime is never their problem.

The risk mainly is that the ops sent his account number to scammers and it may or may not play out the way we are assuming saying that those scammers may pay huge amounts of money just to implicate the ops account which is some what rampant this day since I have seen some times that scammers have access to international accounts with a huge amount of balance and looking for was to shift the money as a test to know if actual they can withdraw such an amount, and once it succeeds, it can implicate the ops.

The hunger for the country addition to human greed don cover their mind from thinking twice at the reception of such calls for unaccounted lottery way you no participate or apply for any funds yet you just the happy say you done win or deserve to receive money somewhere.

Abi person way win money them go still the ask am to send small money come to use transfer the money him again. Why them no cut that small fees from the money and send me anything way remain. People stupid eh

This guy you want crack my ribs ohh   wetin you talk no go dey far from the truth Shaa, because this format done cast for long so its surprising say the street still dey run their escapades with this format in 2025.

[DPHOR]

Well if you look at the text message you would see that it looks so fake to be true and whenever something looks to real then you should know that it is fake because I am not sure if our president is that generous to start giving out 75k to people after all he has spent on running his campaign, I am not even sure if he has recovered from what he spent during his election so how could he be that generous to give out 75k to people under curtsey of APC. Abeg try shine eyes oo because we country many people dey hustle Left right center to see how them fit see food chop.

Dat wan sef follow and d evidence of message sent still go dey. Na dat wan gan dey concern me. Nor be sey I dey try panic OP but na just to let am sabi sey side effect dey for somethings wey we dey overlook. If nor be dat exchange of message, we fit argue sey na random number dem mistakenly send money to as e dey happen a few times. Nobody go fit use dat wan nail anybody as far as dem nor go withdraw d money. For me oh, I nor dey like engage those thieves beyond two minutes before I dey call off their crap and face my work. No time to waste time.

[Salahmu]

Sharing this number as you did is good, so that if possible everybody will save it as a scam so that anytime they received a call from that number  they would no from the onset that this is the scammer that has also called several others to trick them, actually they have met someone very smart and wiser than them because from all this they were the ones that loss through their airtime they wasted, however I wonder how shallow they think people are by using APC name to scam people when we already no that there is no way any party in this country will give anybody money unless is during election they want to buy people conscience.
