Na true nah, nothing I dey call dem o and assuming say u no open new account na so ur main account for go, scammers plenty ehn and na so dem dey get new new pattern everyday wey dem dey carry dey eliminate people account and dem dey also deprive people joy, so na e mk we need to dey vigilant in cases like this and especially if we notice something unusual, we call for help or ask around to know whether that kind thing dey exist or not before we go proceed but some of no dey do like that so na e mk we need to create awareness of those kind thing dem make other people also know about am too because e get some people wey dey no know, wey think say na normal thing and na dem dey fall victim pass because dem no dey ask questions. So mk we try dey ask questions if we no understand something besides no everything person dey sabi.

I have received this type of messages countless numbers of time which I know are unsolicited and I never thought of receiving such from anywhere. When I see them, I already know where they belong so I quickly do the needful by blocking and instantly deleting them to avoid clicking them. This measures I take to keep my devices free of junks from these scammers.

It is nice you already know them and I believe you know what to do to those kind of messages when next you receive them. Christmas don dey reach so everybody gats need be vigilant and careful too avoid falling Mugu for these scammers them wey no get joy at all.

This kin of messages them plenty for my phone but the tin be say I no dey open them again as I done already know say nah their pattern dem be that, one way I open one like that and them say make I log in my Facebook account but I quickly go create another Facebook account then login am fine the site save the details for my phone, guy can you imagine say by the time I open the site for the next 3 abi 4 days later, I no see anything way dey interesting for there, then I quickly go try to login the new Facebook way I create recently just because of that Freud site and the Facebook no gree login again, which means that nah another way way dem dey use hack pipo FB account. So my guy I no dey take any of those things them call anything again.

I used to receive messages like this sometimes, but know that the offer is often too good to be true.
The one I hate the most is when I get sent messages like this as a referral link from a close friend telling me I won an iphone 15pro max or something of a cash prize .

Mostly as we are nearing the end of the year with just 2months to go, the vigilance level should be higher both for online and for offline activities, because even the scammers and hackers want to have a detty December and wouldn't mind who gets to pay for it.
With passwords and codes, be extra vigilant and be mindful who pays attention to you while on your device.

Few days passed I was told I won a million Naira for a contest I never enrolled or even think of, the surprising part of it is that how they got those numbers they offen use to message people about those scam messages. Something in me keeps telling me that this could be the hand work of an insider who knows or who always in the office registering people's phone number that could lead to leak of information.

Otherwise how did they know our names and our full details I think are data are not secure in the hands of our network providers and or it could be their worker selling our details to those scammers who calls and sent us personal messages.

This is the latest of them all, they're fond of sending messages to contacts whom have participated in previous scam projects and as many contacts as possible to gather. They are mostly interlinked as  most crashed scam projects launches another with a different name to continue their evil businesses. The new ones are still maybe friends of those whom have succeeded in their projects earlier.

There are several ways to know that an offer is a scam

1. You're being given an offer you never  applied for. Like who employs someone without first interviewing them?.

2. Their offer sounds too good to be true: How can someone pay me 56k daily. Calculating it in a month, its about #1.6m. Just like that. I mean who does that?. Some will even claim to pay you 25% of your income daily. Like what sort of investment is such that the ROI is that high? Do you even ask yourself how they make their own money and how much they make daily to be able to pay you that amount as interest?.

3. Their companies aren't registered under CAC: most, if not all of them doesn't have a cooperate affairs backing and are not permitted to operate, but because the Internet is decentralized, they can't be totally prevented from operating, and every campaign against them will not be heeded to by the desperate masses out there. I'm not saying that all unregistered companies are scams, but you'll need to register your company to demonstrate its ingenuity and get an official license to operate.

4. Their media presence is always bullshit:  some of them use websites without SSL certificates and their website is the very unsafe, and when you arrive at their media handles, you find it almost scanty, that's if there's actually one. I believe that a strong business venture should have a very good online presence in the today world.

5. They have no definite founders: Unlike Bitcoin which was founded by Satoshi, even though he's invisible now, but there's a lot of documentary about him, these sites have no founder, management team and sometimes include  some foreign names as founders which after  proper research, you'll observe that they never had anything to do with the projects. Please always research on personalities that invite you for interviews, they clone peoples names and kidnap people in the process.

A friend of mine have once been invited for an interview and was told its urgent, his  plane ticket was even booked, when we researched about the name the speaker called, we got to know that whom he's calling had no business with recruitment in that company and there was no recruitment exercise going on in the company at that time.

You're to research properly any project or company you're venturing into cos most are just scammers looking for unsuspecting individuals to prey on.

I use to get scam messages very often which I know that they are definitely scam. If you do not authorized to receive a message, kindly disregard the random massages like this. If I have not reported those messages, I would have screenshot them and see how many Nigerians are only messaging you to scam you.

If you see unwanted message, you will see report as spam if it is a new number. If you do not see that, click on the text message -> the three dots at the right upper corner -> details -> block and report spam.

I have seen some messages that it is suggested that many people have reported it as spam or scam or something like that which encourages me to continue to report them.

Omo the current trend be say, make you no open any link way u no Sabi who send am. Them don use am hack  person social media accounts way I know before. The way boys dey sophisticated for the internet now enh, you gats dey careful for links them way you go open oh, make you no go open your death warrant.
