How I Was Almost Hypnotized By Scam Artists.

My phone vibrated, it was a text message, I opened it immediately as I don't like leaving unread texts on my phone. It was a recharge PIN from an unsaved/unknown number, as I was still contemplating on what to do, my phone began to ring, I looked at my screen and Truecaller has already identified the caller as scam. I picked the call notwithstanding, I wanted to hear what he has to say and maybe give him a few words to digest. I answered and a young man spoke up "brother abeg can you help me send back the card I sent you ? It was a mistake", I told him "you're supposed to still have it on your phone in your sent items as per say na text", Omo, next thing I heard, the guy began to recite what sounded like incantations, Omo I sharply cut the call to avoid being jazzed. You guys should be safe out there ! Encourage people around you to use Truecaller to safeguard themselves against these scams.
