A Facebook user by the name Christy Glo, took to the social media platform to recount her experience in the hands of 419 operators in the city.
According to Christy, these 419 operators hypnotize their victims before defrauding them.

She wrote:
“Beware of 419 dis period. On my way to my office just now, i joined a taxi n d lady at d back with me wanted to drop n gave d driver 500 naira…. D driver started asking her if she is d owner of d ghana must go bag in d boot n she said yes so d driver was like why didnt u tell me, how will u just keep such amount of money in d car, what if police had checked d boot….
