A 26-year-old man identified as Hakeem aka H Funds
has confessed on the modus operandi on how he made money through yahoo-plus.
Narrating
the story, Hakeem revealed that he used juju on his victims
which makes it easier for him to control them.
“After spending lavishly, we sometimes go bankrupt. So, we have no choice than
to use metaphysical powers to hypnotise our victims online. The act of using
voodoo is what people nicknamed ‘Yahoo Plus.’
“I use it so that the victim, otherwise known as a ‘client’ will fall deeply in love with me and obey my every command. At least, I have been into dating scam for a while now and I can boast of two cars and a house.” Hakeem confessed.
Hakeem revealed that he dropped out of university when he was
in 100 Level. After dropping out of school, he embraced cyber fraud.
Interestingly, he has been able to buy cars and build house through the scam.
Hakeem
is toeing the path of many Nigerian young men and women who are embracing
cybercrime. Many of them have left the traditional method of attempting to
sweet talk victims into parting with money.
Today,
they now use voodoo, otherwise known as ‘Yahoo Plus or Science’ to collect
money from unsuspecting victims. Revealing more details, some other internet
fraudsters revealed the cost of a particular voodoo depends on how challenging
a certain internet fraud might prove to be.
They
also confessed that aside from the fact that Yahoo Plus makes them richer, it
also is a stress-free way of making money. They revealed that native doctors,
Islamic and Christian clerics usually prepare the charms for them. Hakeem
insisted that Yahoo Plus was the best gimmick to apply in online dating scam.
He
added: “I use voodoo for dating scam. I use it to spellbind my online victim
and make him or her easier to control. There are different kinds of voodoos;
one is to use the image of the white client, another one is to make incisions
on our hands, place our legs on a tortoise or take the client’s name to a
cleric or native doctor. Sometimes, we take our phones and computer to the
shrine.
The
type of Yahoo Plus I do is to take client’s name to the shrine.” Another
operator, Lanre, 25, said that he and his younger brother wouldn’t have
succeeded in internet fraud, if not for the help of his mother.
He
disclosed that it was their mother who introduced them to the new level of
cyber fraud. Lanre said his mother didn’t believe in them at first until he
carried out a scam and bought a car from the proceeds. The car got his mother
so tickled that she decided to take them to a herbalist for charms.
He
said: “Although my father is late, we have been successful in this cyber fraud
business because my mother supports my brother and I. My mother took my younger
brother and I to a woman’s place. The woman took us to a river and bathed us.
Asides that, I do other sorts of rituals like ‘Oshole.’ Once you have done
Oshole, you will succeed in every kind of internet scams. I must confess that I
have achieved a lot by God’s grace. I haven’t seen any repercussion because I
do go back to the herbalist’s place to renew my voodoo.”
Another
internet fraudster, who gave his name simply as T Money, said that he had been
using black magic for his cybercrime for long. T Money, a 200 Level dropout,
disclosed that after he abandoned his university programme, he had tried his
hands on several menial jobs, but failed to succeed in any.
He
finally went into cyber fraud. The 27-year-old T Money explained why he
abandoned the traditional Yahoo Yahoo to delve into the occult world of Yahoo
Plus. He said: “When I started the internet fraud, I couldn’t earn much. I only
earned enough to buy clothes, some pair of shoes and an IPhone.”
According
to him, while his friends were hitting big money and living lavish lifestyles,
he was counting pennies. He said: “I became intrigued on how my friends were
making good money. I asked questions and got answers. It was the answers that
led me into Yahoo Plus. It is what most of my friends do. I went to meet an
Islamic cleric.
“I
was into dating scam when I first started. The dating scam was not really
fetching huge amount of money. I began using Yahoo Plus because my friends were
making it big and buying cars. Once they make big money, they will go and lodge
in hotels. I desperately wanted to belong. I wanted to know what it feels like
to be rich. I had no choice than to meet the cleric whom I paid money for the
ritual. Look at me today, I’m doing fine.”
A
cyber fraudster, who introduced himself as Sir Cash, 28, said there were different
categories of Yahoo Plus – ‘Oshole’ and ‘Irapada.’ According to him, the two
are used to enhance internet scam operations.
He added: “There is another Yahoo Plus. It is very
bad and dangerous. It entails using the ‘glory’ of innocent girls. You rub
something like oil into the private part of a girl before having s*xual
intercourse with her. She either becomes sick or will never amount to much in
life. We also use prostitutes. Most of these rituals have repercussions. One
must be very careful.
“Most of us do a voodoo called ‘Oshole.’ Oshole has
little or no repercussion and most of us use it. The way Oshole works is that
it compels the victim to pay money.”
