She received a mobile money message on her phone, which said she’d received shs450,000, she with excitement panicked. She imagined she’d blessed by some secret admirer.
Soon she received a call, the caller sounded so polite yet desperate, “My dad is in Mulago hospital, he’s so sick, I was trying to send this money to his caretaker in the hospital,” the caller said. “Unfortunately, I sent the money to a wrong number, I just got a loan, please be kind enough,” She added.
The student was filled with pity and decided to send the money, she’d received and she’d been allowed to deduct 50k and send the rest. She went to a mobile money agent and told her to wire 400k to the number of the desperate caller, who all this while kept calling, …the agent upon confirming the number sends the money.
As soon as the desperate caller realizes that he’s received the money, he calls and tells the student ; “if you are clever, leave your phone and run away!” The student tells the same to to the agent who gets suspicious, and checks the authenticity of the the message, turns out its fake, her balance is miserable, she doesn’t allow the student to explain, she simply locks the student up in her shop, and calls police, poor girl bursts into tears, she calls the desperate caller who’s long switched off his number, the student’s father, oba sugar daddy comes to her rescue and clears the debt. You need to be vigilant for fraudsters are allover the place, if it comes easy, it comes wrong!
