Nigerian lady has come forward with a harrowing tale of her sister falling victim to a scam, losing a staggering sum of 2.4 million naira.
The ordeal began when her sister encountered a link on TikTok, which led her to download an app called PAYPORTE PRO.
Upon registering, she received a referral code and began interacting with a representative via Telegram, accessed through a provided link.
Initially, her sister made a payment of 5,000 naira and was able to withdraw 7,000 naira, incentivizing further investments. With each transaction, she was instructed to deposit funds into various bank accounts, all under the names of Kaznot Fashion & Boutique Venture and Aliya Nasir.
As the amounts grew, so did the demands, with the scammers insisting on an additional 20% of the total sum of 2.4 million naira for full access to her funds. Realizing the gravity of the situation, the victim's sister raised the alarm, recognizing the scam for what it was.
However, amidst the sympathy for the victim, many Nigerians are also calling out her sister for her apparent greed and naivety. They question her expectation of receiving free money without putting in any effort or work.
This serves as a reminder of the importance of financial literacy and caution when faced with promises of easy wealth, especially in the digital realm where scams abound.
