A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to raise alarm over the new format scammers use to extort unsuspecting victims.
The young lady in a video currently making the rounds online claimed that she got a call from someone claiming that they had sent airtime to her phone number.
The caller said that he intended to give the airtime to someone else but had mistakenly transferred it to her.
She said she promised not to use the airtime if it got to her. She said the airtime indeed came in and the strange man called her again.
The man called back a short while later to thank her and said his father wanted to speak with her. She claimed that after some hesitation, she decided to speak with the said father who thanked her and then went on to ask her personal questions.
She said she became uncomfortable and tried to stop the conversation, but the man persisted.
She claimed that after the call she lost her voice and couldn’t speak.
“He said My daughter I didn’t know people like you still exist. May God bless you. I said Amen. He said ‘From Grass to Grass’. I didn’t even hear it. It was my sister who heard it and said ‘God forbid’. He continued and asked me what is my name. I told him it doesn’t matter. He asked me where do I stay. I lied to him that I stay in Lagos. He said okay what do I do? I said does it matter? You have thanked me..I ended the call. Immediately I ended the call I didn’t get myself again. It is as if I wanted to vomit something. From there I lost my voice.” She said.
