Fraudsters On The Loose During This Covid-19 Lockdown- Be at alert by Nobody: 5:24pm On Apr 14, 2020
A lady is currently hospitalised after she attempted suicide due to her loosing all the money in her bank account amounting to 105,000 naira last week to wicked fraudsters who reap where they did not sow.
This is a worrying trend and it seems some people are falling for them due to greed in this covid-19 lockdown.

There are 5 categories of people fraudsters look for to defraud or scam.

1. The greedy ones- they are never contented.
2. The online beggars- they see begging as a job and never ashamed of it.
3. The online trolls- they check every available post to see who is doing giveaway.
4. The political jobbers- they support government policies that at times not good for the masses in order to get their 30k monthly pay.
5. The runs girls online- they advertise their product online in order to get a potential buyer or client unknown to them they are been prey on by the potential buyer or client.

And Their are 5 ways to put scammers or fraudsters at bay so as not to fall victim in this covid-19 lockdown.
1. never you post your account that has money in it for help.
2. never you click on any link that is not verifiable.
3. never you believe anybody doing giveaway without screenshot, pix or video evidence.
4. never you believe anybody doing giveaway without any witness as a claim of such.
5. never you send your account to anyone soliciting for it if the person in question is of questionable character.

I just feel like sharing this here in order to help,my 5 cents.

It is finished...
