A Nigerian man has cautioned people who often go for fairly used mobile devices to avoid buying phones that belonged to internet fraudsters also known as Yahoo boys.
He issued the warning in a post on Twitter and shared what he witnessed when he visited GSM village to change his phone’s screen guard.
The guy known as Jet David said he saw a Yahoo boy taking out the charm he put at the back of his old phone and put it in the new phone he bought.
According to the tweep, he interacted with the phone dealer who disclosed that it is a norm and anybody who buys any phone a yahoo boy sells, will be followed by bad luck.
David wrote; “No matter how desperate you want it, don’t take or buy a phone from a yahoo boy. I went to change my screen guard yesterday and I saw one werey changing his case and moving the soap (charm) at the back of his old phone case to the new one. 😂
I asked the shop owner about it and he said it’s a norm. That if you buy their phones nothing good comes out of it. Just bad luck because they do different charms on their tools (phones et.c)”
Meanwhile, a Nigerian lady has said she prefers getting married to an internet fraudster who is into Yahoo Plus than being with a man who has a regular job.
She explained that Yahoo Plus Boys usually cash out with the help of jazz so they which is a guaranteed way of making sure there is endless supply of money.
She said Yahoo boys are better than working class men because they can always renew their wealth whenever it looks like money is getting exhausted.
According to her, if a working class man goes broke, he has no immediate way of getting rich or escaping financial problems.
The young lady stated this during a street interview as she further said that the fraudsters have family members they can use to replenish their riches, whereas the guys with normal jobs don’t have relatives which is why they are struggling day and night at work.
She also said she likes the way fraudsters pamper their girlfriends, take them out in their cars and how they act like cute couples with the babe in the front seat.
When asked if she would be comfortable staying with a Yahoo boy that is unable to make money for about three years, she rebuked the idea of such happening to her boyfriend.
She, however, reiterated that the benefit of being with him is that if the money gets exhausted he can always use the jazz and renew it.
The interviewer also asked if she is not scared of the fact that EFCC operatives often go after Yahoo boys, but she said she has no business with them.
