After sharing her hotspot with a stranger, it turns out to be a fraudster who seized the opportunity to commit some fraud
By Folayemi Oladimeji
A Nigerian lady identified only as Rita, has advised Nigerians never to share their hotspot or mobile data with any stranger. Reason – she shared hers and almost got herself into trouble.
In a video she shared on her TikTok account, Rita said she was at an event when a female stranger asked if anyone could share a hotspot with her, and she offered to help. Even though one of her friends who was there objected to that attempt, she still went ahead to help the stranger.
Rita said the next day, she got notified that the 20G she usually subscribes to, which lasts for a whole month, had almost finished.

Three days later, she said she received a call from the authorities saying she got engaged in a devious act and that she downloaded some things that were fraudulent.
She also said while she was making an argument to dismiss the claim, the authorities mentioned where and the actual time the download was made. She said it turned out to be the time she offered the stranger her hotspot.
