Don't get me wrong, I don't imply that scams exist only in Nigeria. People get scammed all over the world.




Meanwhile, in Nigeria, what are the current scams we hear about more often? What are the common scams in Nigeria that you have heard of?

Let's go.

Common scam I know is when they call you from your bank. They say they are calling you from your bank and that your ATM card is blocked. They need the number to activate it for you. And when you fall for it, phew, your money is gone.

You have been credited 65k from federal government COVID 19 grant. Call Mr Ebuka on 080 blah blah blah to get it.


And the rest is history

Ponzi scheme scam.

They create a system that robs Peter to pay Paul until unsustainable.

That's scam.

Firstly, they send some cords claiming it is a recharge card, later call to tell you it is been send to a wrong number so you should send it back. Once you pick their call and resend the cords back they we start praying and tell u to send some money for them to do some cham for you
