How I was duped by a fake Immigration officer
The whole saga started on Saturday when a very acquainted family friend of ours called and said, an old friend of hers ,who claimed to be an Inspector of Police (IP) , called and gave her a good news of job Vacancy. This old friend of hers claimed the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) was taking in few fresh graduates as replacement. This man told her that, there were four slots left with his former boss, a Deputy Controller in NIS, and that only fresh graduates (who have their nysc certificate handy) are eligible for those slots. This our family friend,in turn, told her son and all other family friends with jobless graduates to send their names and details to her friend. My parent happened to be one of those she called, knowing that I am jobless right now.
She gave us her acclaimed friend's number ,saying that we should call and follow any instruction the man will give us. I called the man's number on that very spot and he told me to call him back later ,saying he would like to speak with his former boss, the Deputy Controller in NIS first before we proceed with registration. A few minutes later, he called and said that his acclaimed boss was very busy. Then he told me to call him on Monday morning by 9a.m.
I received the man's call as early as 6:45am on Monday (24/07/17) morning, asking me to write down his acclaimed boss's number, which am to call so as to know if there was any slot left . He said I have to be very fast in whatever I was going to do because of the very little time that was left before the list will be compiled. He added that, I should introduce myself to his boss as one of the people directed by his former Aide (who had been transfered to Kaduna)
So, when I called his boss, his question was: what have you been doing since all this while? that Monday was the deadline for applications. Asking if there was any chance left and any assistance he could render me, he told me to give him some minutes that he would like call his secretary first, to know if those slots had not be given out. A few minutes later I called him and he said, I was lucky that the four slots were still available adding that I should forward some of my details right immediately and that I should inform his former Aide that I was going to be considered.
I told the IP of what I discussed with his former boss and he was happy to hear that I was going to be considered.
After sending all of the details I was required to send, I called him,the DC, and he said I would have to pay #38500 adding that, only those (among us that were slotted ) that have the said amount would be finally considered as the slots in question were rolled out to do some replacement in NIS. And that only after the money is sent I will get to receive the NIS form in my email and that I should be very smart by sending the money on time as there were many of us on his neck.
2-3 hours later, after the money had been sent, and he had confirmed the payment, I asked to know when I would receive the form in my email , which am to download, fill,scan and send back to him, he said I should be patient that I will receive it before 2pm. After the appointed time, I called to know why am yet to receive the form then he said, they were having network issues (to send the forms to all of us that were finally picked) so, I should be calm and that everything will be resolved before 4pm.
It was after many calls and with the same excuse given every time that we began to be suspicious. So, we called our family friend,who introduced the IP to us, to tell her what has been going on and to know the credibility of her friend whom she introduced, what she said was very shocking. Her reply was " I don't know him. He was introduced to me by a neighbor". That was when it dawned on us that we have been duped.
As at the time of writing this, another two different families that were also introduced to these fraudsters by our family friend were also duped .
The fraudsters identified themselves as :
1. Inspector Adebayo
Phone No: 07068478352
2. Deputy Controller ( NIS) Abdulai Muhammed
Phone No: 08140615607
And the bank account number that was sent by the DC to which I made the payment was :
Name: Blessing Ukamaka Ekwe Acc No : 0235246174 WEMA BANK and
BLESING EKWE 6552079360
FIDELITY BANK
The DC claimed that the above bank accounts belongs to his secretary. Should I still believe that? Lolsss. The above name, Blessing Ekwe, must be the DC's real name and Acc No must be his.
It was a planned work! As at the time of writing this post, another episode of this story was going on. I will keep you updated.
Pls rebroadcast for the sake of our jobless graduates that may also fall victim
