Yesterday, I put up a post about blog reader Face of MPN who needed assistance. She said she secured a scholarship at the University of Russia and needed $1500 for accommodation /migration fees (Here). My attention was drawn to the fact that the correspondence letter had a Gmail account and I was flooded with emails saying it was a scam.
Well,after looking at the irregularities on the documents she sent, it's clear someone was trying to scam her and eventually good people of this blog..
I've contacted her and she says she is ignorant of any scam and had no idea .She believed it was genuine because a family friend told her about the scholarship....
While I was overjoyed and confident that my platform could change lives even in the most minute way, I'm putting a lid on all help mails for now.I hope y'all understand.Thank you all for being watchful and for being observant .
I would put it this way, which ever it is, we have learnt a lesson from this saga and have helped saved her,her family and prospective helpers money which would have gone into the pocket of scammers.So we all have to be careful as people prey on our need to be educated and our desperation to be gainfully employed..

Kindly read her letter below
Good day to you all. After reading all the comments yesterday,I feel I should apologize to a lot of people. First of all,I'll call this situation a blessing in disguise,if not for you all I wouldn't have found out it was all a sham. I feel sick to my stomach thinking of how close I came to falling for it.
Most of you think I was the one trying to pull a smart one on Emeh and her readers its cool but I tell you this,I could swear to the heavens and back and you still wouldn't believe that I didn't and will never think of ever scamming anyone not to talk of Emeh. Why in God's name would I do something as cruel as that?
Emeh never offended nor caused me hurt/harm and I see no reason why I should pay her back with something as disgusting as that. All she ever did was put a smile on my face and heart through her blog and readers,I don't see why I'd put her whole career,her sweat,years of sleepless nights and struggles in jeopardy. Wouldn't that be a curse to
myself,my family and whole generation?
On this note I apologize to every single person on this blog for putting you all through the trouble. Most of all I apologize to Emeh for whatever harm I may have caused her through all these,believe me I feel like a huge chunk of me have been cut off because of all these. Emeh was only trying to be of help to I/other people through her blog and she shouldn't be faulted for having a kind and wide heart and this should also serve as an eye-opener to both I and everyone else,no one's above mistakes. Not all that glitters is Gold,sad I had to learn that the hard way. I sincerely thank you all and hope you accept my apologies.
Apology accepted...IT İŞ WELL
ReplyDeleteTank God for saving u from scammers but pls let's alwayz correct each other in love bcos most of us bhave according to d level of our knowledge and exposure.
Deletethe Pretty Emeh pls i have a suggestion instead of putting a lid on all help assisting issues what if u ask evryone and anyone to snap or scan any documents be it of school or job or of business sent to them but it is not clear to them or they're in doubt about it so u will have days u post it on the house so members will look at it and eventually give we would give constructive and useful advice that will be of immense benefit and save ourselves from scammers the way we have just saved our own face of MPN! and i was glad she didn't fall victim b'cus of the eagle eye observation of members of this blog.so pls i'll say we keep helping ourselves but on ADVISORY AND PRECAUTIONARY Level! cus i've also been a victim long time even with all my street credibility lol and it was painful,and i wished there were people i could av shared ideas with then but i'm now a champion and a senior graduate 4rm the street university of hardknocks both home and abroad!

ReplyDeleteThe code is this, these yahoo boys will first ask for small amount of money to drew you in and commit yourself...... I have followed them up for a while and I think I understand how they operate cox they sent me an email some months back though I knew it was a scam but I just played along and i got to see how they think. I still believe she is innocent of all these.... You have to me street smart to detect this guys.

ReplyDeleteFACE OF MPN u really fuck up going through ur mail nothing is serious about it. hw will u not verify and u put it here for people to help u , I even thought u re EMEH secretary not know u re just a reader like me . To me it look like u just wanna take advantage of pple here for help . If u really want free tuition fees in EURO I can help but u will still need to do wire transfer of $12000. I stand to be corrected this just what I feel
ReplyDeleteLmao@ Wereyyy, so u go fit scam us abi, Hallelujah
DeleteAnonymous 16:35 , pple like u come here to beg for help , can ur generation afford $12,000 for ur stay in europ(for up keep) during ur study program . More less 50k . Hw can I scam person that beg for money , for wat I will just provide necessary info . Just search google ( free tuition fees ) eg oslo university in norway re among the school
ReplyDeleteApology accepted! But I'm sorry I still need to state this, if you're the one that composed these msgs you've been sending to Emeh and even with your comments I've seen so far on this blog that means you're very eloquent and sound smart. So how come you can't deduced the mail is fraud before sending your request to Emeh? I still think something is fishing from your side and your total silent yesterday is a huge one. Well whatever it is we all sometimes try out our luck and I guess you decided to try urs here but sorry it didn't 'werk' goodluck to u and I hope you come back to your bubbling self here soon.
ReplyDeleteHahaha you nailed it.
Delete@ Jolly Bay... When someone is eloquent and sound smart doesn't mean they are street smart okay.... You could be very educated and know nothing about the streets. She could be innocent of all this.
DeleteJolly bay being Eloquent and sound does not make u immune to scam note that!and the real meaning of scam is presenting and packaging u stories of what u urgently need!and i must tell u that it is the people who believe they're well educated that fall the more b'cus once they are shown documents they willinstantly believe!so there is nothing fishing,Face of MPN is innocent,she's just a young and naive girl ans it's innocent girls like her who fall prey more! And i'm just glad observant members of the house were able to save one of our own! Face of MPN we still lov u!

ReplyDeleteFACE OF MPN do urself a favour and change ur name cos you've just dented ur image. I have a lot of things to state here to show ur the scammer but I'll just let it slip. bye
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, only God knows the truth...it is well
ReplyDeleteSmh cock and bull
ReplyDeleteWell, Emeh will rest with the direction she wanted to take her blog to... This is the virtual world where only 10% of the people here are honest.. The remaining 90%.. Well, you know the rest.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have noticed that comments have reduced drastically...lolz..smh
That's why the best way to help people is to do it quietly without anyboby hearing about it.. The reason - so that, fake ass mofos won't come here and be famzing the blog, pretending to be faithful blog readers.. The hustle is real yo..
Won't say Face of MPN was dishonest or honest.. What I'll say is this - babe/guy, stay off the place for a while, do not be hard on yourself, and if actually all this shii was real, then thank your stars that your family wasn't swindled..
Now wey Emeh don stop/suspend her osho free program, make we see those fans wey go dey loyal truly...
Emeh, I love you, and I love your blog... That's why I even bother reading and commenting...
come on, u all shld gv it a rest, we all make mistakes and she has apologized, why still remind her of it. plz move on and leave it 2 wer it belongs.
ReplyDeleteApology accepted but......... I reserve ♍Ɣ comment. *sarah*
