The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has revealed a new trick used by fraudsters and scammers to steal money from their victims online.
The Commission warned those who usually post their account number under a thread on social media just to receive giveaway (free money) and those who click and follow links to websites promising to give out free money.
This was revealed by Ibrahim Magu, Acting Chairman of the EFCC, on Tuesday, who also noted that “they are faceless elements circulating ‘Free N5,000 lockdown funds’ messages online and people need to ignore them.
Magu who spoke through the Commission’s spokesperson, Tony Orilade, added that the claim was being circulated through a phishing link via WhatsApp.
