So this happened in a Whatsapp group I belonged to. I trailed the h@cker by sending a dm to figure out what type of scam he intended to play and possibly expose em. It led to this account detail... Apparently, it appears that these scammers for some reason..
The issue is not peculiar to Nigerians alone but some others countries seriously seeking for how their h@cked WhatsApp account can be recovered.
One of the affected WhatsApp users, confirmed that his phone number was changed and he was automatically removed from a WhatsApp group he belongs to. The supposed h@cker then sent messages to the group about an investment that guarantees the investor receiving double of the amount invested within 30 minutes.
To further investigate the h@ck, a call was put through to the supposed h@cker to enquire about the advertised investment. The h@cker claimed that “the investment is real and reliable and it’s secured under the Corporate Affairs Commission.”
He then asked the caller to send the desired investment amount to an account number that he provided.
