A shocking and bizarre online story has gone viral after a Nigerian man publicly cried out over what he described as a dangerous “giveaway situation” that quickly turned into a terrifying demand.
According to his viral post, he allegedly participated in a live online session where organizers claimed to be giving out ₦100,000 to random users who submitted their bank account details.
The man said he initially thought it was a joke and only submitted his details without expecting any real payment. However, he later claimed that he surprisingly received money into his account shortly after the livestream.
But what happened next reportedly left him terrified.
He alleged that he later received an email demanding an unbelievable ₦100 million payment, which he said he could not understand or afford. The message reportedly caused panic, with the man insisting he never agreed to such conditions.
In his emotional appeal, he called on Nigerians to help him and expressed fear over what he believed could happen next, claiming he was unaware of any hidden terms attached to the alleged giveaway.
The story has since gone viral, triggering mixed reactions online. While some users believe it may be a scam tactic designed to frighten victims, others are warning people to be extremely cautious when engaging with unknown online “giveaways.”
Cybersecurity experts have repeatedly advised the public to avoid sharing personal or banking details on unverified platforms, stressing that many fake promotions are designed to exploit unsuspecting users.
