Good morning my queen. Every morning I wake up thinking of your smile.

I’m sorry I can’t video call, the network on this oil platform is very bad.

I want to come and see you in Lagos. Can you help with my flight ticket, ₦420,000? I will pay you back the day I land.

What would you do?

Send the money. You want to finally meet him

Not safe. The photos and messages may be made by a computer. If you send money, the next request will follow.

Ask for a video call first, then decide

Not safe. Video calls can now be faked too. Whatever you see on screen, don’t send money to someone you haven’t met.

Don’t send money. Tell a family member or friend you trust

Safe choice. Correct. Someone who truly cares about you will not need your money to meet you.
