Beware of Facebook fraud

My in-depth knowledge of online marketing has put me ahead of others on how Internet fraud works. Let me stick to facebook posts and pages. You launch your facebook account and certain pages are suggested for you to like. Well, it costs you nothing, you like at will.
The trend now, which Nigerians easily fall prey to, is to cook up human interest stories that would attract their emotions. They take advantage of your over religiosity to type ‘amen’ as comments under make believe stories.
I do not know about other countries, but I know Nigeria is one of the most religious countries. We fall victim to fake clerics. They enjoy while we endure. They eat what they want while we eat what we need. We rely so much on whatever the pastor says. We pressure prophets to prophesy. When God has not said a thing, the prophet would have no choice but to spew something in order to save his ‘job’. I digressed.
Back to the subject matter, you would see a page whose name suggests obscenity suddenly becoming prayer warrior overnight. I see Nigerians, even my ignorant friends typing amen, liking and sharing not knowing they are making money for others. They get paid based on the number of likes, shares and comments. If somebody needs your prayer, you don’t need to type it.
Yes, there are a couple of pages with names of clerics, they pray too and people of course type amen too. You would see thousands of comments, the mugus keep typing amen, dancing to the tune of the business man at the other end. They smile to the bank, while you waste your precious time and sometimes money to type yeye amen.
They most times give you conditions to claim the ‘prayer’ and you want to make sure you meet the criteria. Uhmm. I wish you were like me o. It’s very simple; all I need to do is say amen I do not need to type it. My God can hear me even when I have not uttered a word.
Among other sinister motives, the perpetrators use the data of those who like their page and comment for other related frauds. Sometimes, your account may be hacked or cloned.
It is time for you to unlike those pages that are contributing nothing to your life positively. Like pages that can make good impacts on your life. Pages you can acquire knowledge, you really do not need all this prayer warriors. You can pray on your own.
Stop being so easy to dissuade, haba! Women are more prone to this than men because they are more religious and emotional but few men who could discern the tactics know their typing AMEN or RIP may not change anything.
Read between the lines, I don’t doubt the power of faith but most of those were set up solely for business. Be wise!
