New Scam Method by Gragbo: 3:50pm On Aug 16, 2020
Good day all,
So I posted a phone online and got a buyer yesterday that called me for us to meet up so after we met and he checked the phone he did d transfer grin and showed me on his phone for verification and I saw everything was correct but I didn't get the alert and I already wanted to Factory reset the phone which could have made my bank app in accessible and also my email and I had no reason to doubt because the guy came with his friend in a clean new Benz 4matic and looked really innocent but I just decided to wait to see the alert before any transaction would occur and for 15 minutes waiting there was no alert and I checked my phone app and still nothing so the guy became un easy and told me he has somewhere very important to go and was rushing me but I kept my cool and so he collected my I.d card and snapped it and said if I see the alert I should let him know and he would pick up d phone 2moro ( which is 2day) my people since yesterday till now his number has been un reachable and from the way he talked the last time we spoke yesterday I know it was a scam.... So my advice is

1. Don't get carried away by flashy things (like the Benz I saw) and put it at the back of ur mind that it can't be a scam cos trust me you might be Scammed.

2. Don't fall for there is no tym 'just do it sharp sharp' cos this is a Red Flag.

Stay Safe and Happy Sunday all

things are getting really hard for these yahoo boys, that's the offset from their trade. they stoop low to dirty scam games just to survive while hoping the big meat is on its way.

Nigeria has turned to something else now.
Everyone has to be extra careful especially the female folks.
Let me Share some of my own personal experiences;
1.Probably,You Working and Joined different Group chats or forum on WhatsApp that's related to ur business.
If for any reason someone calls you,maybe you are at work Sef and he's saying that they are trying to verify members of the what'sapp group that you are a member,if not you will be removed from the group immediately,that you should verify by calling out the code sent to your fone is they can use it to verify you.my dear,don't send them any useless code oooo coz that's what they will use to hack your WhatsApp or whatever.
Rather,Go or call your WhatsApp group head and ask him if there's anything like that going on.
2.If you board a cab with like 3 people already and immediately you enter they are talking about someone that just dropped and forgot a bag in the booth,and the driver joins them to say make ona park enter some where check am say e if be money oooo.
My dear,it's a bad sign coz in my own case I just use my head shout for the driver to drop me there and then,good thing I was seating by the door side so I just opened it and jumped out.
Don't really know what would have happened to me or what they planned though but I didn't bother to find out.
3.I recently,Parked at a busy bus stop while waiting for someone and from afar.I saw that within the crowd of people during the normal 6pm rush hour.
While people were struggling to get on the bus,one particular guy was behind busy Unzipping female bags and removing whatever he could from inside.He did it twice and At a point while he was Unzipping a ladies bag,I shouted out,Madam madam look your bag,the woman surprise to see her handbag open.mean while the guy don quietly cross road Japa.
Na so them take collect a girl's 50K from her bag on her way from bank without her knowing.
That day,the chic won enter road commit suicide say no be her money.Say the owner of the money won't believe her.Na so I follow still help her small come still help her meet the owner make she for no commit suicide.
3.Now, Some body well dressed go just dey front of company say excuse me like say e get something interesting to tell you.
Guy,no listen move.E get why.Them no dey resemble or look like madmen or frustrated people Sef.
Some go Carry people babies come dey beg.These ones na customize beggers.
4.Lastly,this one shock me.
You go finish from bank enter your car,before you drive go far you go begin hear funny sound for your rear tyre like say e don flat or something.My guy, keep driving till you get to your destination ooo.
Coz na so I take lose some my hard earned cash to robbers recently.
For the fact they I hide the Brown envelope under my car seat come still wrap am with black nylon and they just went there and collected the whole thing.
If na wetin person go take commit suicide by now me suppose don die oooo.
Coz til today I still dey feel say some how person go come from some where come give me back the money.
