An epidemic of mobile money fraud is sweeping the country and everyone knows about it.
These tricksters are always coming up with more clever ways to trick people out of their monies and somehow they always get some people ‘dumb’ enough to fall for their tricks.
WorldRemit – the convenient, easy to utilise international money transfer service which has revolutionised the industry have added a new option to their already wide variety of existing options when it comes to receiving your money.
Those receiving money transfers via WorldRemit can now receive their monies via Airtel Money, delivered straight into their wallets in the comfort of their homes or offices.
I have heard a lot about these mobile scams that for some reason manage to snare a lot of people. I’ve always held the opinion that one must have shut off their brain or be real greedy for these kinds of scams to trap them, and after being on the other end of one it has only confirmed my opinion.
The attempt was amateurish, the story they concocted laughable – in fact, I’m a little insulted that as I played along to ascertain their entire modus operandi, they actually thought I was buying their bullsh*t. That scam is so transparent I’m wondering if anyone ever falls for it, but it seems people do or they would have stopped trying.
