Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has shared her experience with online scammers.
In an Instagram post, she revealed that she once bought 12 phones for an online giveaway from an online vendor and was blocked immediately after she made the payments.
She said she was too ashamed to cry or talk, so she only told two of her close friends about it as she was ashamed.
“I dey here dey claim OG,
Let me tell you a little bit of what these little children have used my eyes to see shege banza.
I once bought 12 phones from an online vendor,
Once I paid, I got blocked.
I was too ashamed to cry or talk, so I only told @veeveerich and Henry.
This was about 3 years ago (phones were for my birthday giveaway that year).
Hehehe, them run King Street”.
Last year, Tonto had alerted Nigerians about the new scam method. She admonished the public to beware when someone approaches them in public, accusing them of making a fake transfer for something they allegedly bought. She told the public to stay vigilant and stay safe because outside is wild.
