“Opay has responded to us and I have given them the numbers and all, the person’s name on the acct is taye Alabi Ayo, the person is using my name as the account name and it’s a different name he or she has on the account number and he or she is using my husband picture on his WhatsApp line.”
“Please don’t fall victim,” she warned.
