Watch out ! It’s a scam.

The subject of scammers and the harm they pose to the world is a topic that cannot be over emphasized. Day by day incidents of scam keeps escalating here and there.

I don’t know if there’s anyone who has not being a victim of this menace or at least has come close to being a victim. Almost everyone in one way or the other has had an encounter with these scrupulous set of people. Some have lived to tell their tale while others have met their untimely death because they couldn’t handle the level of scam.

Some big some small but no matter the veracity of the scam, it’s never a justification for anyone to scam others. The annoying thing is that these people can go to any extent to organize their scam projects to make it so real that they deceive as many as possible.

I had a very bitter experience with scammers that I almost committed suicide. Some years ago, I entered the new year with so much enthusiasm. Without any doubt in me, I knew that it was the year that I will handle my first one million naira. I was ready to be a millionaire.

I had some money with me but it wasn’t enough for a project I wanted to invest in. My friends have been into this online business for months that pays ROI daily. They have been posting about it on their WhatsApp status and it has been paying them.

They told me to join. I asked them all about it and they explained the details. At first I was skeptical but they said they had done their research and the company has been registered for over six year with website evidence and even an international company authorized registration from financial bodies and all the bla bla bla.

They fronted a white man who was the face behind the companies and so many white guys were involved. They would show pictures of their company abroad and where they are having meetings with their partners and brokers.

They were holding international meetings from country to country and from states to states. They evidethat they were genuine was every where. Nothing would have made you believe that they weren’t genuine.

They had national and international presentations in all parts of the world. It was a global scam. And hundreds of thousands of people fell for this including me.

Where my case was bad enough is that I didn’t have enough to invest hence I had to go borrow money from one of mentors who charged me to pay back with interest. I was so sure it was going to work and I agreeed. I even introduced a friend of mine into the business.

Ladies and gentle men, one month into the business, it packed up. These hoodlums made away with people’s life savings. They took millions of ethereum from people. I felt like my world just crumbled.

I was sick for days. I contemplated suicide. I was drained spirit soul and body. There was nothing I didn’t think about. My life came to a stand still.

Till tomorrow, the wounds of this event reminds very fresh. Scammers will die a thousand deaths.
They still exist till tomorrow and their style keep evolving.

Just last month one of my friends was scammed of over a million naira. When she told me the details. I knew it was them. If only she had mentioned to me she won’t have fallen victim.

They keep calling my phone every now and then asking to send codes to them just to hack into my phone and am not the only one going through these experiences.

With the rate of scam out there, we really need to be at alert. Do not be in a hurry to give out sensitive information and if it looks suspicious, verify it enough. If you are not sure, don’t invest.

If it’s too good to be true then it virtually a scam. Most of us fall victims due to greed and wanting to get rich quick. Scammers capital on people agreed, desperation and ignorance to thrive.

Scammers are still out there and there keeps evolving. We should always be at alert and on the look out for them.
