Nemesis has caught up with a Nigerian scammer for attempting to dupe a white man by the name, Chad Huber, while offering a business opportunity.
Huber, who opened up about the incident on his Tiktok account said the Yahoo boy, who identified himself as Alicia Cole, requested for his account details so as to get a share of N1.5 million from a deal he spoke about.
However, the scammer’s attempt failed, as it turned out that the white man outsmarted him. In a chat screen video shared by Huber, the Lagos-based scammer opted to share proceeds of the deal with him and kept pestering him to send his account details.
Huber’s video also showed some revealing female photos the scammer sent him, telling him they had met at a place called Club 9 previously, however, smart Huber said he already knew the person’s intention.
Also, he said the country code of the phone number, which is 234, already revealed his true identity and intentions, having identified that Nigeria’s dialling code is 234.
However, Hubber exposed the Yahoo boy’s actual location, which is Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria, his IP address and even the screen size of the device he was using for their chats.
