Fake Mtn Staff Tried To Scam Him Of N3.5m And This Happened by kingstylo01(m): 5:46pm On May 03, 2016 |
I have been seeing news about fraudsters and scammers on frontpage, but haven’t witnessed anyone personally. A friend came to me, telling me he received a message that he has won a promo. Immediately I heard promo; I smiled because I have seen such stories on frontpage and I know it’s much likely to be a scam. ![]() ![]() According to him, he called the Mr. Anthony, and he congratulated him, saying he has won N3.5m and that he should note down the code (check attached picture) for claiming his money, and also told him how to get the money in the bank. I laughed hard as if I was reading a funny comment on nairaland ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My friend asked him how he was going to redeem his N3.5m, and he was asked by the so called MTN staff to get a pen and paper and note down a code, and I quickly assisted him and typed the code with my phone. ![]() ![]() ![]() We decided to call him back in the next 10 minutes, but his line was busy, perhaps he is conversing with another victim ![]() ![]() “Idiiiot! Thunder fire you! You are m@d!” ![]() ![]() ![]() My friend didn't dull; he too blasted the pained hungry scammer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I know this is a cheap way of scamming, but there are some people not yet aware! Please do well to sensitize friends and family members about this. (You can check the attached picture for the message). They used short codes to send the message, meaning they are likely to have a large database of active Nigerian numbers that they send out at once. The question is, how did they get access to such huge database of numbers? ![]() Here is what the message reads: Congratulations! You have won N3.5MILLION ON MTN BEST 11 PROMO. Your promo code is (13GF) For your claim, call MR ANTHONY: 08032443142 from MTN financial service. Conclusion: -shine your eyes, ![]() - whenever you are told to send money or card before you can access your price, please run! - Most (if not all) companies will never give you a personal number to call and will ask you to meet them in their office. Please don’t fall a victim. 1 Share
