A lady identified as Sonia Glows, a critic of fraudulent schemes, has defrauded several contacts via WhatsApp.

In late January, she posted a N3 million giveaway opportunity on her status. To qualify, people only needed to send any mount less than a million naira to her ‘sister’, send the debit alert and their account numbers to her and expect to receive double the amount.

This sister, according to Glows, was Favour Ndukwe, whose Zenith Bank account, with account number 2119878330, was used to receive the sums.

“She claimed to do N3million giveaway to all her contacts but we would have to send a particular amount to her sister’s account details then she would double it and resend it to our account,” Shobayo Ololade, a victim, told FIJ.

“She posted reviews and I felt it was not a bad idea to participate, so I sent her N30,000 meant for my daughter’s school fees. But since then, she has kept saying she has not received an alert, and that I am trying to scam her.”

Ololade believed it was real because Glows used to condemn and preach against fraud on her WhatsApp status.

After making the transfer on January 29, Glows blocked her and never fulfilled her commitment.

When Ololade reached out to Zenith Bank to confirm the transfer, the bank did so in a mailed response, and asked her to tell the recipient to reach them if she still claimed she did not receive it.

FIJ attempted to contact Glows, but her number was unreachable. A text message sent to had not been replied to as of press time.
