2go network warning – Ogbunabali, Otokoto

Ogbunabali

dating scam alert

A warning circulating on the 2go mobile network has been forwarded to us. It says that if you make dates to meet people at Eleme and CFC, Nsugbe in Osha (beside Nwaforizu College of Education), and Oji in Owerri, and Warri, you must take care not to fall into the hands of Ogbunabali or Otokutu. They have been setting people up in those areas. Another report concerning the 2go network happened in Surulere, where four persons turned up for the meeting and ended up assaulting a person they mistook for the contact made on 2go.

Bishop Donmanuel / Idibia on facebook

He has changed his name again on facebook from Bishop Donmanuel to Bishop Idibia but that does not change facts. This man was involved in a violent attempt to dispossess a contact he made on facebook, of his Blackberry phone. It would appear that he set up the incident with an okada rider who joined the resulting bloody fight. The incident has been reported to the police, and you are hereby warned.

Emeka Akanike

Emeka Akanike, a person intimately connected with some of the earliest blackmail stories coming out of Abuja, is very much back in the business of blackmail and theft. Emeka does not appear to spend much time running his company Aquanike Nigeria Ltd since he is often traveling between Benin where his mother resides (Off Ihama Road), and Abuja. Many of his old friends have moved on and found real jobs but Emeka still recruits and trains younger ones to use as bait. Since we know he and his partners in crime read this blog, be warned, we are looking to obtain pictures from your coming wedding for publication here. We know your dry boutique at Adesuwa Road, Benin crashed but there is no excuse for your turning to crime to fund your wedding.

Are you being scammed?

If you think you’ve been a victim of fraud, you can contact Action Fraud – the UK’s national fraud reporting centre. You will get a crime reference number and information on victim support. Action Fraud also offers information on how to protect yourself against becoming a victim. Find Action Fraud at www.actionfraud.org.uk or call 0300 123 2040. Please note that the BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.

SOCA also has these scam-busting tips for anyone considering using dating sites or singles columns:

Be suspicious of anyone you have not met in person asking you to send money abroad. Even a cheque for a small amount can provide fraudsters with your bank details and can be altered and used in other fraudulent ways.

Speak to them online via a webcam and ask yourself whether this is the same person you have been chatting to online or by email.

Tell someone trustworthy where you are going and plan regular contacts. Agree what they should do if you miss a contact.

Report incidents of actual or attempted frauds, kidnaps and extortion.
