In the exposed chat, the fraudster attempted to trick one of the actor’s contacts by seeking money. The impersonator stated that they could not make transactions and asked the contact to help out.
Chinedu told his followers to be cautious, warning them to constantly check any phone contact or message they receive, even if it looks to be from him. He wrote:
“Pls guys, everyone should be careful. These scammers are on rampage. They’ve devised another level of OBT. They now use pix of public figures as their DP and start calling or texting people within your circle.
“This post is a clear example of how they operate. Confirm every call or message before attaining to humanity.”

Chinedu Ikedieze tricks wife
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Chinedu Ikedieze and his wife, Stephanie Promise, caused a stir after playing the trending Rock, Paper, Scissors game.
On social media, the Rock, Paper, Scissors game has been making the rounds. It involves two people playing to make sure they get the most of the food spread before them.
While one person wins, the losing party runs back and forth, as the winner rushes to eat all they can while they are away. In Aki’s case, the actor won his wife during the very first part of the game after he dropped ‘rock’ and his wife dropped ‘scissors’.
