Beware Of These New 419 Scams And Tricks by iykbethany(m): 12:21pm On Jul 14, 2020
419 SCAM ALERT. Please watch and share this video to save innocent people, the next victim could be your friend or family member.

This 419 trick has been in existence since 20 years now, though they dont use cars back then.

While I was living in Phc they tried me 3 times at different locations in Ph but they didn't succeed.

The first time sha I almost fall mugu but when the second guy mentioned that he came from Cameroon and had containers of laptops, phones, hollandis etc I became alert and asked him question in French which he couldn't answer.

HOW THEY OPERATE:
The first guy will approach you and ask you if you knew this street or that road, they can quote any street name, they usually stay in crowded locations, roundabouts, flyover etc. In my case I was at Rumuola flyover when the first idiot approached me And asked me if I knew where Johnson street was located.

While you were still thinking about where that street is located another guy will come forward and ask you what the problem is. He will persuade you to assist the first guy bc he looks like a foreigner that needs urgent help.

Well both of you will approach the first guy and he will start talking about how he imported containers of this and that for one woman and the person gave him wrong address. They can mention containers of phones, bags, electronics, hollandis, container of raw dollars for one Alhaji etc. They can mention anything.

In my case they told me container of phones and Hollandis but when I looked at both of them i knew they were not worth 2,000 Naira and they looked hungry. So I knew they were local 419 scammers. I told them to run otherwise I was going to call the police.

Remember the first and second guy are partners but they will pretend like they don't know each other. They are smart criminals. They might not be educated but they are smart enough to scam a professor.

If you are greedy they will make a deal with you. They will tell you to bring some money to clear the container or bring money to wash the dollars.

Different 419 scammers use different tricks. Some will first take you to a herbalist in a thick forest where you guys will swear oath of secrecy, so that you must not tell anyone about the deal. If you tell anyone you will vomit blood and die or you will not be able to bear children. Its all lies, they just don't want you to discuss it with anyone just so they can continue to scam you.

Most of their victims are women because women are easily deceived.

They use different format. Some will just grab your phone, money and discharge you while others will use different tricks and stories to defraud you till you become broke.

If you don't have money they will mandate you to steal from your husband, family or friends.

They made Ifeoma my ex to sell her sisters golden wristwatch. I found out that she was a victim when she called me one day and was asking me the cost of a Landcruiser SUV which one shell staff in my street was using back them. See wetin greed dey do. They told her the container contained 10 millions dollars and they will give her 3 million dollars, so she don dey calculate which cars to buy and how to end poverty in her family.

In her case she was in Rumuokwuta to buy something and saw a young girl that was shouting for help. She followed the small girl and ended up in fraudsters house. Then they started talking about dollars and pounds. So these criminal gangs use different tricks and formats.

They rape women by trick. They put some concoction on their dick which they will insert into your kpekus in the name of oath taking. And you must not resist because if you do they might harm you. Remember this is a shrine in a thick forest and nobody knows your whereabouts. So if you find yourself in such situation please pretend like you be mugu till you get out of the forest or in a safe location where you can call for help.

Some of them will decorate their shine to look scary just to convince mugu. You might see different kinds of idols or even hindu images, anything that will make you think it's a very powerful shrine.

Most of their victim claim they use jazz but that's a lie. They don't use any jazz or juju, if you are not GREEDY and gullible they won't scam you. Most scam victims are GREEDY, once they hear container of iPhone and millions of dollars raw cash in a container they loose all senses of reasoning.

Did Mavrodi of Russia use juju abi jazz to scam the world via MMM? Till date many Nigerians are still falling for that kinda scam, pay 20k and get 100 billion in few minutes. That one too na juju?

It you go to computer village in Lagos to buy a phone if you don't take time they will swap your brand new phone with fufu or garri lol. Test the phone in their presence it will work but once you get home you will find out that it is dead phone with garri or fufu inside..its a simple trick which I will explain in another post.

Op i can relate to this. I remember vividly back then when i was in phc. I was on my way to go register for my waec at Garrison with the money given to me by my father and out of no way, this hungry looking guy just approached me with exactly this same laptop container format and was claiming to come from Cameroon (saying he doesn't understand/speak English fluently). It was not too long another guy from the other lane of the room crossed over to our side and was asking me what the first guy was telling me and all that bla bla bla...


But what saved me was that, some weeks to that day, my dad was scammed of over 300k. So with that experience, i was seeing every stranger as a prospective scammer. So i told both of them that I'm not interested and i immediately forced myself out of their middle.

I've been passing through that same road to my school for some years without anyone asking me for business transaction, how they managed to know that i was with money that particular day is the question I've not been able to answer.

It's an old tactics by the way. Because I'm talking about over 13 years ago.
