A Twitter user simply identified as Wonuola has narrated how a man she could only identify as Idris defrauded her of N1 million after a series of phone calls on April 29.
In a string of tweets, Wonuola said that she received a series of calls from an unknown caller, proposing an investment plan to her.
Wonuola said the caller, who later introduced himself as Idris, went ahead to send his account details to her after their conversation, and despite not agreeing to the investment plan he proposed.
On getting the message, the Twitter user said she sent Idris N400,000, her entire savings, and another N600,000 she borrowed from friends, to the caller.
She would later realise she had been duped.

“We need to place two accounts on hold. Sunday Anthony Osamaye 2415775643 Zenith Bank and Idoniye Taiye 0677731233 GT Bank,” Wonuola tweeted on April 30.
“I just got scammed of one million naira. I got repeated calls from an unknown number yesterday afternoon.
“He had been calling me consecutively for days so I eventually answered out of frustration. He proposed an investment plan to me of which I didn’t say yes to, but he proceeded to send me his account details after the call ended.

“On getting the message I proceed to sending him all my savings of N400,000 and then went ahead to borrow N600,000 from my friends and even my father’s manager. It felt like an out of body experience. I don’t know what came over me, what ‘jazz’ he had used on me or even how he got my number in the first place.
“Everyone I asked to borrow me money even willingly sent it because I am not the type to borrow money from anybody. So they assumed it was an emergency.
“This man goes by the name ‘Mr Idris’. I don’t know what came over me. Even after calling him out as a scammer I still send more money. It truly was an out of body experience.”
When she complained to Access Bank, where she runs her account, the bank told her the incident was being investigated.
