A Nigerian philanthropist has gone online to complain about his aged father being targeted by cyber-fraudsters commonly called yahoo boys.
The man known as @roqzee said the yahoo boys cleared his father’s entire pension savings of N200,000 in the twinkle of an eye.
He explained how the perpetrators used a fake account to obtain his father’s bank details from him on Twitter.
The elderly man had taken to the microblogging platform to complain to UBA customer care, but it turned out that the fraudsters created a similar account using the bank name and he never suspected.
They asked for his account details and PIN, which he provided, but shortly after giving out the information, N200k was removed from the account.
His son, roqzee, shared the unfortunate incident on his Twitter page.
He wrote; “Yahoo boys have cleared my 69 year-old dad’s account with his pension savings. He came to complain to @UBAGroup customer care on Twitter and used a fake Twitter handle and they asked him for his account details and PIN which he disclosed. Instantly over 200,000 disappeared 👏🏼 1:0”
