A Nigerian man living in the UK has come under fire for allegedly defrauding multiple Nigerians overseas, with one victim allegedly losing ₦5.3 million.
The claim was made by @ifedayo_johnson, a user on X (formerly Twitter), who used the social media site to share her story and reveal the identity of the person known as Nnamdi.
In her post, she claimed to have gotten in touch with Nnamdi regarding a currency exchange.
He allegedly stopped replying to her messages after she transferred ₦5.3 million to a bank account he provided.
Nnamdi’s passport and personal information, along with screenshots of their conversations, were used to bolster her allegations that he was a serial scammer who preyed on Nigerians in the UK.
“If you’ve ever been scammed in a WhatsApp or Telegram group in the UK while trying to exchange currency, there’s a 99.99% chance it’s this guy,” she wrote.
She further alleged that Nnamdi has been running this scam since 2023.
The post has since gained traction online, prompting reactions from concerned Nigerians in the comment section.
See some reactions below:
@smug55: “Was it not this same guy that was complaining about how he was scammed with COS?”
@liddycomidee: “🤡 You people deserve what you get sometimes. Why are you using some geezer on WhatsApp to transfer money when there are official platforms readily available?”
@sucreblazing: “Why do they have to go thru someone to do exchange?? Didn’t they have documents to do the transaction via bank ??”
@Dj_6een: “Good governance in Nigeria scamming your fellow Nigerians in the Uk.”
@adekzy: “He’s a bloody scammer and liar… gang of OluỌmọ of Thieves.”
