A Ponzi WhatsApp group admin identified as Tunde (Not real name) has sparked outrage after he allegedly made away with over N600, 000 naira from members of his group.
JTownConnect metro reports that the name of the Ponzi WhatsApp group scheme was Togetherness, where you provide a help (PH) of 3,000 Naira and get help (GH) of 6,000 Naira in just 48 hours.
According to a member of the group, Tunde ran a massive and catchy advert on Facebook where he dropped the WhatsApp group link which enabled him get such number of people in a short while.
Tunde waited till the group was filled up and was able to convince 200+ members to provide him help with 3,000 Naira each proising that they would in return double their money in 2days time (48 hours).
2 days later, members were waiting for their money but all they saw was a new number removing all the group members at once. Meanwhile, the originated group number has long left. Till this moment, none of the numbers are going through, they report.

Well, most of us are just so gullible. How and why will i send my hard-earned money to one faceless crook? If he’s in need of financial assistance to pay medical 😷 bills, fine. If not, me, i be confirmed Ijebu man. One Kobo, i won’t drop. I’ve learned my lessons the hard way during the “Wonder Banks” era. No more falling ‘mugu’ to such cheap scams.
If i become rich in this life, glory be to God. If not, God knows best. But I’ll keep on teying the right way.
