Blog Readers, Beware as Fraudsters Parade Fake Girls on Facebook

 

                       Many users of Facebook will agree that they have, at one time or another, received phoney messages from strange but attractive looking ladies on the .social networking site.

                      While some people have been able to separate the scam mails from the genuine ones, others have not been smart enough to know the difference. The latter easily fall prey to the tactics of faceless con men who hide beneath false identities to defraud them.

Pretending to be young ladies aged between 18 and 26 years, the criminals often target men that are naturally drawn to pretty women. Investigation shows that they always use freshly opened Facebook accounts – the types that display one or two sensual pictures of a woman and very few ‘friends’ – to bait their victims.

Having successfully ‘wooed’ their unsuspecting victim, they tactically send short messages that begin with phrases, such as, ‘How are you?’ and ‘Can I be your friend?’

As soon as they receive a response, they move on to the next stage, flirting with the victim before going on to squeeze as much money as they can get from him.

It is not difficult to spot these fake ‘girls’ on Facebook by simply observing certain similarities in their personal data. For instance, their names are as unreal as their pictures look.

Imagine receiving a messages from a certain Franklin Ariel Cortez Garcia who begins his love note by writing, “Hello, my name is Precious. Please reply me so I can send my pictures to you through my email address, mypreciousbabygal@yahoo.com.”

Another letter may read, “Hello, I just went through your profile and I like what I see. I want to know you better please reply through my email so we can know each other better. Waiting to see your mail.”

Although Facebook tries to eliminate such fraudulent messages by marking them as spam shortly after they have reached their victims, some hapless persons may fall prey before such cleansing takes place.

It is important to note that beyond the tricks, the simple explanation is that they are ‘419’ men luring people into parting with their hard-earned cash by operating fake Facebook accounts.

While the trend isn’t peculiar to Nigeria, a US-based Facebook group called Stop Nigerian 419 scams (Stomp out Scams)has been created to help everyone “become aware of, recognize and avoid falling victim to all types of Nigerian style scams, including romance, advance payment and foreign lottery scams.”

The good news is that Nigerians can avoid falling victim to these con men by taking certain precautionary measures, such as activating the privacy setting on their Facebook accounts and treating subsequent requests for friendship, especially from persons they hardly know, with suspicion.

The subject has been trending on social media with some victims of the scams recounting their experiences. Lamenting the ugly trend, @LODAFRIQ wrote, “I receive an average of two scam messages of this type daily on Facebook. #fraudsters #yahooyahoo #ole #419 .

A certain Lorliam Shija says, “Lilia Princess Edson, Rosemary Ndadaye ,Angela Mpka..are the three 419 people that sent me seductive messages last week.” Also, Ben Ezemalu wrote, “All these ‘girls’ sending me Facebook messages with e-mail addresses think I have never see a pretty girl!”

Then @imuss added a note of warning, “Only 10 per cent of boys are talking with girls on Facebook. The remaining 90 per cent are talking with fake accounts”.

2 fans arrested for taunting Asamoah Gyan over Castro's disappearance

Asamoah Gyan and Castro

Two football fanatics were reportedly arrested by the Police at the Baba Yara Sports Wednesday after they attempted to inquire from the Captain of the Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan, about the whereabouts of the missing hiplife artiste, Theophilus Tagoe, popularly known Castro.
The fans, who are said to be students of the Koforidua Polytechnic, were reported to have hooted at the Black Stars Skipper, shouting at him to produce the body of his close pal and music icon, Castro.
According to reports gathered by The Chronicle, Asamoah Gyan, who was irked by the ranting from the football fans, reported the matter to some security officers present at the stadium and quickly asked them to effect the arrest of the two students.
The Black Stars are currently in the Garden City preparing feverishly for an African Cup of Nations Qualifying match against their Ugandan counterparts.
At the time of filing this report, the Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Police Service, ASP Mohammed Tanko could not confirm the arrest and told this reporter that the information had not come to his attention.
Reports, however, indicate that the police are holding the wrong people, as the two students, in the course of the arrest, protested vehemently about their innocence and insisted they were not the ones who hooted at the Black Stars skipper.
The police would, however, not take any of their pleas and rather hauled them into a vehicle, before driving them out of the stadium.
The hiplife icon, has since July, this year, been missing, after he was reported to have gone on a jet ski with a lady friend, Janet Bandu, on the Peace Holiday Resort, in the Eastern Region.
The musician, who is presumed dead in some quarters, went to the resort together with his close pal and ace footballer, Asamoah Gyan.
Since his disappearance, there have been lots of conspiracy theories, with some accusing his footballer friend of allegedly being responsible for the missing hiplife artiste.
