Has Anyone Experienced This Kind Of Scam In Lagos, A Friend's Integrity At Stake by AlexBells(m): 7:48pm On Jan 06, 2023 |
I find it really complicated but my friend's character is likely going to be stained, I'm also concerned about his emotional stability afterwards if there's no proof of his innocence as at this point no one would believe him. It was an old school group where we both belonged, I didn't know him much back in school to vouch for his character but the incidence has thrown everyone in complex puzzle. Yesterday, a hospital document surfaced in our old school WhatsApp soliciting for funds, stating that he has apendix and needs it removed, while some of our course mates sent money, some were skeptical and made further inquiries by calling the hospital, the hospital didn't have any such person under admission, a call was placed to the sister who recieved same message of hospital documents and fund demand. Later on, there was several intriguing aspect to the story but today our course mate resurfaced, at first we made conjectures that he was the one behind the heist but he said he was held against his will by some gang who did the hospital documents, forced him on a video call and used his phone to message his contacts and group with the fund soliciting broadcast. I called him few minutes ago, he is stating that he is a victim and feeling disappointed that people believed he would do a thing like that and that it is his first time in Lagos. I don't really know what to believe but I wish to know if anyone ever had this sort of scam approach in Lagos. Could my course mate be innocent or a culprit? 8 Likes 1 Share

Even on Nairaland, there are here. It's the new format trending. Soliciting for help using forged documents, impersonation, and all whatnot. These career beggars have made it more difficult for the needy to get help. 292 Likes 19 Shares |

chatinent:But the main issue now is that we don't know if our friend is a victim or the culprit, he said he was forced to make the video call and all the chats which was being done with his phone by those who held him hostage, nobody believes him, everyone believes he's behind the heist. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

As far as I am concerned no 'gang' has the time to do all that.if he was held by a gang it would be a straight up kidnap. They would Rob him, beat him up and then call his. loved ones. Also the whole sending I am. In danger scam. Or I am. Stranded scam where they take over your fb or email. Or phone line. This is neither. This is definitely the guy trying to.use himself to run a scam 133 Likes 9 Shares |

It's hard to tell whether he was in on the scam or not. However, he can clear things up by reporting the matter to the police for investigation. 44 Likes 1 Share |
