The arrow is pointing at me. This is me 2014

Hello friends how was your day? Honestly scammers have many ways to scam people. I was scammed on the year 2014. That was the first time I was scammed and I have never fall their victim again. I hope you like to know how it happened? I'm here to tell you just sit back and read.

I was scammed during the month of November 2014. Then I was living in Abia State. One fateful afternoon I went to Umika Junction to buy food stuffs from their market known as Nkwokpu. On my way back to Umuobasi Amavo where I was living, I entered a taxi so that I will have a fast trip. Immediately we passed a place known as old toll-gate, which is the road safety base, one boy in that car started crying for help. he said that he was running away from his oga (Master). that after serving him for many years the man refused to settle him. Instead he wanted to use it for money rituals. So he packed some of the man's money and flew away.

But he's afraid of the man because he uses charms in whatever thing he is doing, that you would like us to help him find a church or a place where they will pray for him. I never knew that I have entered one chance. So the drivers stop and ask him to show us themoney. Then he open a bag of Ghana must go full of dollars.

The driver and others in the car told him that they will take him to a particular place where a pastor will pray for him. Do you know the funniest thing? They promise to share the money to each and everyone of us after praying over the money. And then I needed money like mad, so I had to follow them.

When we get to the place, the man said that since all of us have set our eyes on the morning that the charms following the boy has transferred to us, so we need to drop every morning with us because it has been contaminated. Because failing to do so it will cause our lives. With me I had over 20,000 naira in my pocket, which was money sold by products that is not even belong to me, so I had to drop the money because I was afraid of losing my life.

I never knew that all of them are working together except me. We were asked to go and never tell anybody about what happened because it could cause the life of the all the entire family members. We were asked to bring more money to clear the money so that it could be shared among us and also will be free from the charm.

I kept it secret to myself and continue sending money to them, until I have nothing to send again. The funny part of the whole thing that I even sold my Android phone and I was using then, and send the money to them.

When they find out that I have nothing to send again they stop calling me and stop answering my calls. That was when I realised that I have been scammed. I almost lost my life.

I entered into a very big dept. Because all the money that I was sending to them is not mine. And all my aim was to see a way to get money and help my family, but now I am a victim of scammers. But I thank God in everything life is still there. I was helped by my elder sister @ijelady to clear the dept's of about #200,000

It's really a long story, let me stop here for today. Maybe in the next edition, I will complete the story, bye for now and don't fall victim of scammers.
