be aware of the 419

[Mr Reporter]

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.

I blame those that will sharing their bank details to 419 after all bankers have informed all the customers that’s they will never call he/she to ask of their bank’s details, anybody that there account have issues should direct themselves into the bank for complain. Because even the banker’s awareness of how the 419 are been going around by scams the innocents.

Especially those that will go and sit down for one place and will be texting people through SMS that government want to give loan or sharing a money, what I want make people understand is that if government want to share the money in think I will directly going to the CBN and give them directive; but peoples 419 will be wasting their time and energy just make people lose their money.

This 419 most times are using our government deficiency to scam the people. Imagine when government talk about palative then, na so we just hear ham for radio and nothing more. The same thing with some other initiative raised by the government. Na so we dey hear ham, we no dey see ham. This made it so easy for scammers to hide under this. Citizen easily fall victim because they sometime hear something related on news. If our government are plain with their ways it will make things more easy and people will easily identify scams from real.

Honestly speaking to me I feel the government should give an clear and concise information about thier initiatives and programs so people many not be lead into the wrong hands, and we Nigerians we need to understand and be well educated on how scams and may help the individual from victimization. Promotion and public awareness, government can help reduce the effectiveness of scam and protect thier citizens.

That's true government has not done enough in making sure that the issue of Fraud is been addressed amicably our intelligence agencies are not not doing their best because with what we where made to believe as Nigerians was that your National identification number (NIN) is linked to everything about you including your phone numbers so why has the government failed in tracking down the people who are into fraud, Government can get them through their ( NIN) so is not helping in this issue of 419 in Nigeria

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.

If you are a Bitcoinner  in Nigeria, one needs to be very careful, smart and alart because the 419s are out there looking for who to scam, they just don't sit down, they move for places to places wanting to know the latest big Boyz in town and so even in our spending we should be careful so that we would not fall into them as a prey, also phone calls  claiming to be family relatives with your full details with them, even approaching you on the road, these are their various ways now to scam people.

Lol all this area boys still dey worry sha, e never do make dem quit local to suffer their own people, or better still go find work do. Some of these their update them Don cast, and I thank God say even out people Don dey wise to the extent  wey dem dey identify scam almost immediately, though some people still dey wey dey update their format and if them do e dey look too real and the only way wen we go fit dey immune  to that type of scam na when we seff dey update ourselves  with any possible information wey dem fit use against  us. Just as the op post for here now, many of us Don learn from that one so if we see similar  something we go fit easily identify say no be legit, me normally  I no dey carry click any link wey I just see, and that na why I vex for all those site wey dey Sabi redirect  you to another website.

Make we shine our eyes oo

We are having a failed division of authorities, they are getting paid wholesomely to detect and take down fraudsters instead they keep replicating.  Using NIN to detect scammers works perfectly but Nigeria has a way out, they omit NIN verification during registration or they make it complex by using someones identity during registration, talking about how scammers operate to skip being caught through NIN. Besides, Government should have quick access to personal informations when suspecting any fraud activities, just lazy or biased to operate as supposed.

This is how they go about frauding people of their hard earn money, everyone has being affected by the economy instead of them to look for something reasonable doing, all they do is to scam innocent people.
Like op have said one should be very careful and vigilant so that you will not be their victims, scammers go to any length just to get whoever they want to get.

Thank you so so much..this is very helpful as I’ve encountered one recently but God so kind I didn’t bother replying I simply blocked them..

[Barikui1]

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.

Wahala don jam network here oo, truly them don run out of strategies because as days goes by people don dy wise up, so them just dy try the Same strategy again if anyone fit fall prey to it.

I remember back in the days wey I first encounter this type of scam, truly I call the number, and na guy answer me, him say I need to pay #15k for them to release the money to me, which was #150k, wetin I just tell am is that make them remove the 15k inside the money I win and give me the rest, after everything wey them talk just to convince me to send them 💰 money, e no wrk because the money self I no even get.
I still remember say I tell them say, if I get #15k for my account I for no even reason their message because I for feel like odogwu 🤣🤣🤣if 15k been dy my account, so na so them just give up for my matter.
But regardless of anything, abeg make we dy very careful with the kind of sensitive information we dy give out because these scammers no get anyway them fit scam us if we no give them the information them dy find.

I heard over the news yesterday that after the most recent scam in Nigeria with the CBEX Ponzi scheme failure, the government is looking to put in place a law that would criminate various actors in any form of schemes that looks to fraud citizens of Nigeria. Laws that wouldn’t be limited to the team behind the project in itself but would also include its promoters and licensing offices as these are principal actors that people bank on for trust and reliability. Don’t know how well they would carry this out but, it would be nice to put some fright in the minds of these people, let them know they aren’t getting away with it and would face some serious jail time, life in prison sentences and even the death penalty.

Gone are those days when people normally fall for this kinda scam.
The person behind that message is obviously wasting his or her time. Even my grand mother can easily tell it's a scam considering the fact that it's coming from APC. The same APC government that has turned Nigeria into a disaster .

The government they try there best to fight against fraud and its a good one but the problem i get be say them no they get legit information before they go the arrest people na one thing wey done give me joy be say them they fight am but they need to do more if you look advance countries them they get concrete evidence to use nail the person so when them charge them to court evidence go they. No be say you go just enter person house for night and they really to work on there suspects months to make things more organized and things they wey them fit use track down l person.

[Yablee0]

This kind of scamming system don dey very common, person like me no fit fall for this type of cheap scamming method, e too dey cheap.

The truth is that most people that fall for the kind of fraud are people that are gready and money minded, what I believe is that the person way Wan send the money say you don win or political empowerment or so on, that person no need the money, that is the question we should always ask our self.

Always be conscious and vigilant of your self, no body will want to give you anything especially money for free, before person start to dey over serious about something towards you way involved money be careful look am well no be real. Thank you.

[AYIMAN]

I totally agreed with you...

We all need to be aware of this stupid people called 419's

They have really rendered so many people useless and hopeless...that why we really need to be careful of them so that we will not fall into their traps.


So bad.
