Junior Kenny (@juniorwilbegr8t) shared a similar experience, saying, "Those saying it's a trick haven’t experienced vudu before. A stranger placed his hands on my friend's shoulder, my friend became mute and transferred all his money to the person."
Good_Aj (@Nyameba_Aj) commented, "It’s a very smart trick. When the vendor is under pressure or isn’t concentrating, the person can deceive them."
The incident highlights the increasing use of deceptive practices in mobile money transactions and the need for heightened security measures.
