He added that: “The public may wish to note that this syndicate has diverse membership with various professional skills, especially in ICT. Citizens and FCT residents alike are advised to be wary of fraudsters and promptly report similar cases and suspected persons to the security agencies.”…. now u can send ur nudes to bae n later claim it’s photoshopped, wen things go south.
