How I Almost Got Scammed by Man Claiming to Be Uti Nwachukwu – Erica
Speaking about how she almost got scammed by a man claiming to be Uti Nwachukwu, Erica said:
Immediately I graduated from uni cuz I was like “Ah I want to blow in this industry” and everything, I used to model. Like I wasn’t actually out there but I used to tell everybody I was a model. So I would be doing photoshoots up and down. And then I posted a lot on Facebook then somebody approached me. The person’s name was Uti so I thought I was talking to you (the real Uti Nwachukwu).
The person was like oh would you like to do a billboard shoot? I said okay. The person said oh give me your BB Pin. I gave my pin. We were chatting. But the person was always so rude. I was like wait, I didn’t approach you, you approached me.
So what happened? You’re the one that approached me. Then he was like “Oh, don’t you know I’m Uti. I have things to do. I’m busy. So if I’m talking to you, you better be grateful.” I now started suspecting that yeah, something is wrong.
Then he now asked me for 50k. I said “Okay. You are so called Uti right? You’re literally rude to me because oh, I should be grateful. Then how come 50k is your problem?” I insulted him. Ah! I insulted him. No no no no, ah! All the insults I was stomaching from the guy, immediately I just knew ah this one is fake. I said ehnnnn, they wrote mumu on my forehead shey, I will give you fire for fire.
Eventually, Erica made it without this fake Uti Nwachukwu’s help and ended up not falling for his trap. A lot of other young women have been lured into such scams and lost huge sums of money all in a pursuit of fame.
While Erica’s story is funny and entertaining, please be careful of internet fraudsters. Also for those trying to enter into the entertainment industry, please be very careful as there are many scammers out there trying to get rich off of your desperation.
