#AlayeMafo: My Encounter With A "South African" Scammer On Telegram (scrnshots) by midolian(m): 11:59am On Sep 24, 2020
...So I joined a group on telegram just because I want to be getting updates on the assets I trade in.

First thing I did was to read the about message pinned to the group...but even after doing this, I wasn't so sure that was all I needed to know..so I asked a question. I guess this question gave me out as a newbie and one who can easily be duped..

.. Before getting an answer to the question, I received private messages from 4 different people...One of them who claimed to be a South African got my attention and what I found out in the end shocked me!

Please find attached the screenshots

...He got what he didn't bargain for and was forced to speak his local dialect..after which he disappeared... grin grin

So it turns out that the Southy man is a Nigerian...

And after my encounter with him, I have received messages from many more of his kind..until this morning when I decided to change the settings

There is hardly a group you join on telegram these days without becoming a target of these scammers.. The annoying thing is that 99% of them are Nigerians..

This is how they go about tarnishing the image of the country. I know things are hard but it is not enough reason to try duping people of their hard earned money. With the way things are going, Nigerian will soon be on the blacklist of every reputable website you know

I don't mean to sound like righteousness89 as this truth may sound like gospel. Whatever you get through illegal means will be lost through any way God chooses. if you like acquire a mansion with it..Fire might be the agent God will use to destroy it.

Pretty terrible scammer to be honest . Adongo is a name that has Kenyan etymology not South African .
When will people learn that if it sounds too good to be true it generally is ? Anyone offering returns above those that financial institutions and Banks offer are scammers then again if it were not for scammers we would not have the adage "that a fool and his money are soon parted"

I like how you introduced the assets you trade in under the guise of explaining how someone tried to scam you . I wonder how many fools are going to contact you about the "utterly reliable" and non scam manner of trading that you do .smiley
