*New Scam Method!*
30 minutes can financially ruin your life.
This is not an ordinary phone scam — it is far more dangerous.
The scammers don’t want your money, your password, or your trust.
They only want your kindness.
Recently, a new “help-seeking scam” has surfaced in malls, metro stations, marketplaces, and public places.
The scammers are usually well-dressed middle-aged or elderly individuals.
They may say they don’t know how to use their phone, that they need to check their pension or subsidy or that they pressed the wrong page by mistake, and they ask you to help operate their phone.
*The dangerous part:*
When you take the phone in your hand, it is often already on a video call, or screen recording and facial recognition permissions are enabled.
Someone on the other side is watching you. You think you are helping, but your biometric data is being collected.
This is not a normal scam. It is an AI biometric identity scam.
They don’t want your money. They want you.
If you touch the phone (fingerprint), read out numbers or verification codes (voice), or look at the screen while speaking or using the phone (facial movement), your three main biometric identifiers — fingerprint, voice, and face — can be stolen.
Modern AI can create a near-perfect digital clone of you.
What happens next is frightening.
Scammers can use your digital clone to apply for online loans, consumer financing, credit cash-outs, and automatically pass face and voice verification.
Within 30 minutes, all the loan amount you are eligible for could be exhausted.
When you receive bank notifications, you realize that your money hasn’t disappeared — instead, you are drowning in debt, possibly millions of nairas.
*Remember these 3 rules:*
*1.* Never help strangers operate their phone.
*2.* Do not touch, click, look at, or read anything aloud — even if they say, “Just one click.”
*3.* Unknown video calls: Immediately disconnect the call. Never cooperate with requests to look into the camera and speak.
Share this message with elderly people, children, and kind-hearted friends. Scammers are now targeting good people.
*Final reminder:*
Never think, “I won’t be that unlucky,” or “I am smart enough not to fall for this scam.”
That very confidence and kindness are what scammers exploit.
*Please share this message.*
One extra share means one less victim!
