Hello Hive Learners community, it's great to write here again, I was intrigued by the topic for this edition and I said to myself, surely I must share my experience with these fraudsters.

Some times I wonder if this people understand that scamming someone is bad and also brings a lot of curses on them because of the tears which they cause people.
I have had two or three occasions with this scammers, one of which I fell victim of which I think I shared my experience here around last year, it was a time I never want to experience again because then when I sent the money it was as if I was blinded by some charm and then after I sent it the money to them I was kind scared because it wasn't my money.
These sets of people have a very bad mind and they are people who don't know the essence of humanity.
Another experience I have but I wasn't the victim was with a coursemate of mine, here's what transpired and how she was scammed out of her possession.
We were in class when someone called her asking for her code or something, I thought she was talking to a relative because she was smiling and at some point I and my other coursemate mate just left her to her conversation, after about 10 minutes she was done with the call and then she continued talking with us.
It wasn't up to 5 minutes when she started getting alerts from her phone, that someone was transferring her money to another account, she was already crying and thinking about what could be wrong and that was when her eyes opened that she had been scammed, she though the person she was talking to was a bank official and that was why she attended to the call, she had given then the information that needed from her phone which made her vulnerable, she tried for hours because no one could access her account everyone tried their possible best to help her access her account but all was void.
I felt for her because the money was her school fee and her allowance for the month, because of this scam she was put in a difficult situation, no one could help her, and some people blamed her for giving out those critical information to someone that called for it, from there many people started giving their own experience on how they were scammed, at the end of the day there was no solution only a broken person.
At this point, some wealthy persons in class raised a platform on the school group chat to help her raise some funds, though not many people turned up, but the ones that did, did leave some good for her, at the end of the day they were able to raise part of the school fee, though it wasn't much, but she was grateful for it, because this were also students.
This experience left her in shambles as she had to do double jobs to get back the remaining school fee before the exam date, so she would be able to write her exams, thank God she was able to meet up with it, even at a high expense of discomfort.
I felt for her because of my own experience with them, I understood how she must have felt for that period and I always tried to encourage her during those times.
