Nollywood actress and philanthropist, Tonto Dikeh, has raised an alarm about a new scam targeting unsuspecting individuals in public spaces.
In a recent social media post, Tonto described the scam, warning Nigerians to be cautious. According to her, the fraud involves a person approaching someone in public, crying and accusing them of making a fake transfer for an alleged purchase. The commotion attracts a crowd, escalating tensions and pressuring the victim to either pay or risk facing mob action.
“Imagine the embarrassment, wasted time, potential property loss, or even harm to yourself before any help arrives,” she wrote, urging Nigerians to stay vigilant.
