A Nigerian lady in the United States of America narrated how she almost lost $1500 (about N2.3m to scammers).

She stated how she got a TikTok message from one of them who posed as an artist.

In the video by @debs_lir on TikTok, the lady shared how the artist claimed that he wanted to paint her for a client who would pay $1,500, of which $400 would be hers and $1,100 would be his.

Though skeptical at first, she later agreed to it but was also surprised when the said artist said the client would pay into her bank account.

After convincing her, she said she reluctantly shared her bank details. The supposed client later messaged her and sent a cheque of $500.

However, he then asked her to send $50 to someone at a supermarket. It was at this point she began to realise that it may be a scam.

She then reported the matter to the bank and found out that the cheque sent to her was fake.

She said:

“You that sent me $500 cheque, you don’t have $50? That was when everything was fishy. I then went online to start searching… Imagine I have fallen for it. He would send me all the whole check and I’ll then be sending $1, 100 to this otehr guy and later the bank would notice that the cheque is fake, after I have been debited.”
