A Nigerian lady has shared a video of her encounter with 419ers who tried using an old trick on her.
The TikTok user revealed that she met them in a taxi she boarded to work. One of the men, who alighted from the car, paid in dollars but was called back by the driver who told him that he had overpaid because the dollar value was much more than the fare.
He promised to drop him where he can change his money into Naira.
The passenger claimed that he was in Nigeria to buy cocoa seeds and oil, but wanted to make a quick stop at the Senegalese embassy.
As they continued having a conversation, the driver asked the lady to accompany them to where they would change the foreign currency for the man as he might not feel safe if she was not there.
The lady politely told them she could not as she was on her way to work. The men then repeatedly tried to convince her to follow them, and even used Bible passages and promises of giving her money too. She remained adamant.
Watch the video below.
