I want to bring to your notice an online fraud targeted at MTN Nigeria’s customers. Now this fraud is not new, but the modus operandi has ‘improved’. Schemes such as these are normally meant to defraud gullible and unsuspecting people of their airtime, but now it includes a potential threat to your bank deposit. I followed the scheme to the end using dummy information. I will explain with pictures. |
