A trending post on X, formerly known as Twitter, has sparked reactions as a self-confessed internet fraudster, popularly known as a Yahoo boy, detailed how he scammed a Caucasian woman, Deborah Woods, out of $597,000 within six weeks.
In his statement, he revealed that although the woman sent a total of $597,000, he did not receive the full amount, as some transactions failed or got stuck along the way.
According to him, the scheme was orchestrated by a mastermind who initiated contact with the woman.
Eventually, he was introduced into the conversation and began requesting financial assistance, which led to multiple payments from the victim.
Describing how he executed the act, he said:
"I came in as the person asking for money. There was a mastermind-he started the relationship and conversation. Once I got involved, she started remitting money based on the stories I told her."
"I requested financial assistance to support my family. She sent a total of $597,000. We didn't use charms on her. The first amount was $4,000, I can't recall the second. She sent money several times, but I lost count. I gave the mastermind over $13,000."
"In reality, only about $200,000 came through. The total she sent was $597,000, but some of the transactions failed. I also sell cars-I use the money to purchase and resell vehicles."
As the post gained traction, social media users flooded the comment section to share their reactions.
