Scam happens everywhere and those scammers use people's greed against them, one thing you need to know is that if you are not desperate to make fast money, your chance of getting scammed is low...
When someone is trying to scam you, your instinct would tell you, especially if the person is a stranger, but then that one mind that tells us there is a 10 percent chance it may be real is why many people fall victim.
Imagine seeing an ad that says, drop 10k to get 20k after a week and you pour money into such a thing, logically we should be able to reason before doing things, these people that promised to double your investment, what do they stand to gain from it? how will they pay you and others, are they running a charity program? these are the questions and thoughts that should pop into your head.
Many people have fallen victim to these before they learn their lesson, there is no free money anywhere and we must always apply our thinking faculty before investing in any project.
I have heard stories of how people lost their hard-earned money in the bank to fraudsters, there was a day I went to the bank and I met this woman crying for help, the money in her bank account had been cleared by unknown people and when she was asked what happened, she claimed bank personnel called her that there is an issue with her account and he needed her information to set it right which she gives the person and in less than 30 minutes, she started receiving withdrawal SMS till they wiped out all the money in her bank account.
A few days after the woman incident, I also got a call and the person claimed to be bank personnel, he told me my full name and my account number and added that there was an issue with my bank account and that is the reason why he called to assist me.
That line 'calling to assist you' really pissed me off and I cut the call because I already know he is a scammer, bank personnel won't reach out to you first if your account has an issue so I know it is a scammer and I was their next target, the fraudster called me again which got me angry and I cursed him, he cut the call then call back again and I threw another curse at him which triggers him and he retaliated by also throwing insult, I didn't even bother to listen to what he is saying, I cursed him more and cut the call and he didn't dare call back.
Some people have fallen scam to such tricks especially those who do not know how they operate or people ignorant of what a scam is, they will keep asking for their victim's info til they get to the atm card part, which is exactly what they need for their scam to be successful, once you give them the digits on your atm and the password, they will wipe out all your money and some people have lost their life savings in this way.
Be safe out there guys!
