ONE CHANCE FRAUDSTERS! Nigerians recount ordeal after police arrest three in Lagos
Nigerians have taken to their Twitter handles to recount their ordeal in the hands of “one chance fraudsters” after the Lagos State Police Command arrested three suspects on Monday.
The fraudsters, who specialise in picking unsuspecting passengers in their car would flash huge amount of dollars to the awe of the unsuspecting passenger in order to arouse his or her interest in doing business with them.
The suspects which had a lady amongst them would have with them millions of dollars, and while enroute to their destination, they will start discussing international businesses involving huge sums of money.
The suspects will later agree to share the money, while the passenger, who is actually their target watches.
The passenger falls victim immediately he or she indicate interest in whatever business that was introduced.
The passenger is then tricked and taken to a native doctor, who further scams the victim of its hard-earned cash and valuables.

I was once caught up in the act but God saved me. They are many around sango Otta’s vicinity. They roam around with Volkswagen golf

Exactly. You are 100% spot on.
I encountered same in Abeokuta some years back. Boarded the cab in Kuto heading to Daywaterman college.
I have to shout on them and opened the door in motion. They ‘jejely’ drop me in front of the Federal secretariat.
Can’t forget that day.
