She got a call from a male voice that claimed to be her in-law pastor. The person claimed to be in one of the North Central states and that there was a contract to supply fertilizer from a town in the east to a town in one of the North Central States. The person added that she should not allow the business to elude him. When she told him she had only N35,000, he encouraged her to look for money. She approached her friend, Adah who lent her the sum of N200,000. From there he linked her up with a lady who will buy the fertilizer and another man who claimed to be a store keeper with a big fertilizer company to purchase certain number of bags of fertilizers at a certain price per bag. The store keeper that was introduced to her advised that since she was not a registered dealer with the company, she should pay the money into the Accountant's personal account, which was sent to her through SMS message. Details of the account was provided.

The first payment of N200,000 was made by her friend. She was later persuaded to raise another N100,000 which she personally deposited into the same bank account.

After the payments, she called all the 4 telephone numbers used in contacting her for this business transaction and all the numbers were switch off. It was at this point she realized that she had been duped of a total sum of N300.000.
