“Since I Clicked The Link, My Money Has Been Disappearing”- Lady Cries Out Over WhatsApp ₦50k Grant

A Nigerian lady has cried out for help after allegedly losing money from her bank account shortly after clicking on a ₦50,000 grant link circulating on WhatsApp.

In a video shared online, the lady recounted her experience, expressing shock over the unexpected debit alerts she began receiving after accessing the link.

According to her, “I clicked on the 50k grant link circulating on WhatsApp and since then I have been getting debit alerts.”

Her experience has raised concerns about suspicious links being circulated on social media, particularly those promising financial assistance to unsuspecting Nigerians.

The incident has also prompted calls for people to be more careful when clicking on unverified links, as some may be designed to gain access to their personal or banking information.
