Lady shares experience onboard scammers' vehicle
The victim, identified as @lumumbaDesire on social media, shared her story in a now-viral video, warning others to be vigilant.
In her video, she detailed how the group attempted to deceive her with fake dollars during the ride.
According to her, the scammers' behaviour initially seemed suspicious, but she chose to ignore her instincts.
It wasn't until they started handling counterfeit money that she grew increasingly scared.
The situation escalated when one of the scammers alighted from the vehicle, leaving her to suspect their true intentions.
Her countenance changed as she began to piece together the events happening around her.
She realised she had narrowly escaped a disastrous 'one chance' situation and quickly asked to be let out of the vehicle.

She said:
"Beware of scammers. I'm short of words for real and to think these are people's parents shamelessly doing stuffs like these. I'm taking a video and oblivious of what lies ahead. At this point, one of the scammers alighted from the taxi. Just look at the fake money (dollars). I was suspicious at this point and my heart started beating but I ignored. Oh and he dragged the dollars. Haewuu innocent me. He was asking if I was recording. This is the last time I ignore my instincts again. You can see my face changed gradually and I got down."
Commenting on the story, a Nigerian lady, Amarachukwu Samuel, advised people to always observe carefully before entering a vehicle.
"One chance is real and dangerous. Before entering a vehicle be very careful. And trust your instincts. If she had trusted her instincts it would have been better for her. But I thank God she's okay," she said.
