in #hive-1538502 months ago

In this time and season that almost everything about someone is out there and anyone who is just knowledgeable about how to manipulate the internet to source for detailed information can have access to whatever infor he needs at anytime. This brings to bear the importance of guiding ones details with all delegence because there are still little things that a third party may not gain access to unless you tell them .

Some of these guy's who are into all these crimes go further to seek for strange powers so they will be able to woe their victims at just a call and answer a times their victims get to realize they have released vital details after they dropped the call and within a twinkle of an eye they have manipulated their way through.

View years back I was a victim of this same crime. One faithful morning I received a call from a strange number, I asked him if his name he told me. Immediately, I related the name to a school mate who was my friend and he accepted. From that moment I lost the sense of good reasoning and this guy began to use my head. He told me that his company wants to supply MTN signal light. Not too long he demanded I send him money so he will be able to communicate the dealers and all that. I told him I wasn't having any money to send that am even looking for money to feed myself. He convinced me to borrow money from someone and send airtime. Foolishly I went I collected 5000 naira from a stranger which I promised to pay back soon. I went and purchased this airtime from the MTN office. Immediately I sent him this airtime he began to insult me and call me names. Woow, my eyes opened that I was scammed. Immediately I called my friend who is a police officer to inform him what happened, he told me to go and get his details from the office. When I got there and gave the officer the contact, he told me the persons location and all that. When I told her to release it to me, he told me that I need police cover up later before I could access it.

Immediately I called my friend he told me to just forget about it because I will spend so much trying to do that and since the money involved is not much. That was how my money flew into the thin air but I succeeded in blocking the number.

From that day every bigging of the year I receive call from these scammers demanding for one thing or the other but the memory of the previous didn't depart from me, so I always rebuke them and most of all I prayed so hard about it and till date I have not received call from them.

That moment taught me that I should not be too forward when it comes to phone conversation, I don't complete words for people and I will interrogate you so much especially when your contact is not saved in my phone. There are other tricks to I use in finding out who am in conversation with. Twice beaten, plenty times shy.

One other thing I learnt is that, I should not find myself borrow money to give to another person. If I don't have let it be, my undesigned kindness in the past lead me into trouble and I don't wish to be in that situation.

In so much that the advent of technology brought many good to the world, it have lead many into unforseen trouble and crime. It is important that everyone take his safety in this space person.

My sister was a victim as well. She received a call and immediately she went to my uncle's safe place where kept his retirement money, took the suitcase off to the location the caller told her, and dropped the money there🤔 She was controlled through a phone.

A sum of one hundred and fifty thousand naira #150,000 was given to a total stranger just like that.🤔🤔

We just need to be safe!

Thank You

Funny how people go extra mile to scam people, now they no longer wait for the victim to do it on their own they now use a lot of things to control their victim's actions.

That's the things, despiracy is on the increase

Wow. Thank God for eye opening, especially with this good economic system. May the Lord keep up

Amen, thanks

Thanks for the lesson learnt. Cyber security is everyone's responsibility.

Thanks for sharing your experiences here with us. But I must say, that one of the best and major ways to prevent yourself from being a victim of cyber fraud, is by suspecting every stranger and and give yourself at least a week or more before doing anything that he/she asked you to do which has to do with money.
Secondly, note this in capital letters: nobody will call or chats you up just to help you make money, it's not possible, money is not mean to satisfy people and so, nobody would have gotten enough money to the point that he/she will want to just call a Total stranger (you) to come in and make money or give you the opportunity to make money.
Thirdly, we must control our covetuosness and and greed and bare in mind that there's no free money anywhere in the world. If there is, the person talking to you on the internet space, would have gotten it all for him/herself. These are just my thoughts though. Thanks

This actually happens so much but people don’t pay attention to it. These days these scammers tend to use some sort of spiritual stuff on their victims and before you know it, you have lost everything.

My dear, it's so real. Just to be at alert
