In a video shared on his Instagram page, a fraudster who impersonated Peter Okoye, could be seen using the singer’ singer’s previous videos to deceive unsuspecting people on social media.
Peter Okoye, who previously anchored a lottery scheme, Zoom Lifestyle, made a video call with one of the fraudster’s victims, showing his fans how the criminals usually operate.
During the call, the fraudster used an old video recording of Peter Okoye, pretending to be the singer and even claiming he had a show to attend in Abuja, not knowing that he had been busted.
The fraudster’s video and speech did not align as he was using the singer’s image to dupe unsuspecting victims. He ended the call abruptly after Peter threatened to report him to the authorities.
“I CAUGHT A FRAUDSTER PRETENDING TO BE ME⛔️ How people keep falling these Scammers amazes me! Like how? It has been 2 years I stopped anchoring and calling @zoomupyourlife winners!
They Fraudsters insert my old videos in-front of you and start communicating with you in the background! Pls let’s be guided!” Peter Okoye wrote.
