Recent Tricks use by kidnappers in Nigeria

YOU CAN PARTICIPATE IN CRIME WITHOUT KNOWING...THE GAME HAVE CHANGE.

Three men visited a car stand. They asked for the price of a 2013 Toyota camry and the seller told them the price (say 5 million naira).

They asked him for his account details and after 2 days, 3 million naira was transferred into his account.

Immediately after the transfer, they came to him and told him they are sorry but they couldn't complete the cash; (i.e they couldn't complete the N5m) so the car dealer should refund them N2.5m and keep the other N500k on it as fees for inconvenience on his part. The car dealer happily did that and was happy he got N500k as fees for doing almost nothing.

Fast forward; 3 days later, he had his car stand invaded by F-SARS and anti kidnapping squads. They asked if he was the owner of the account, he said yes and nabbed him immediately He admitted to ownership of the account; then it dawned in him what was really happening.

The guys were kidnappers and they used his account to receive kidnap ransom of N3m from the families of the kidnapped victims making him culpable in the offence. He paid them cash with no trace and they made it look like the 500k was his own share of the loot! Now he is in very deep trouble but it could have been avoided.

That's it people, stay safe and be very careful. Don't go looking for quick cash or commissions without doing your DD (Due Diligence). Let wisdom guide you always and don't be greedy!

Recently in a hotel guest house in Kano state, Nigeria, where I usually lodge when ever I am on business trip in Kano.

One of the guest (fraudster) who pretended to be a successful businessman made one of the staff friend, he told the staff that he wanted to receive money but his account is having an issues, in which he asked the staff for a help of his account details to receive and wildrow five million naira for him.

Immediately after given the account details money was transfer, they went bank and cash out the money, ten thousand naira was given to the staff and the fraudster left the hotel that day.

Two weeks later, SARS invaded arrested the staff. They asked if he was the owner of the account details, he said yes and that is how he was nabbed and jail.
