A circulating video has exposed a shocking scam involving two fraudsters posing as regulatory officers demanding “POS” permits from unsuspecting Nigerians.
The video captures the fraudsters attempting to extort money from a lady, who calmly engages them in her Yoruba dialect, ultimately exposing their fraudulent scheme.
The Scam Unveiled
