Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has alerted the public to a new scam targeting unsuspecting individuals in public places.
In an Instagram post on Friday, Dikeh described a scheme where scammers accuse victims of making fake bank transfers after a purchase.
These scammers often cry or wail dramatically to attract a crowd, creating pressure on the accused to resolve the issue on the spot.
Dikeh cautioned that such encounters could lead to public embarrassment, wasted time, loss of belongings, or even physical harm due to the possibility of mob action before help arrives.

“Now imagine the embarrassment, wasted time, potential property loss, or even harm to yourself before any help arrives.
“Stay vigilant and stay safe because outside is wild these days.”
