Sharp woman. Eye dey see figures like calculator.

One Friday evening, guy run come meet her:
`"Aunty abeg send 50k. Network bad for my bank app."`

Mama Nkechi send am. Guy collect cash, thank her, waka go.

10 minutes later, another alert: *+50k*.
Then another: *+50k*.
Then another: *+50k*.
4 alerts total. 200k.

Mama Nkechi call the guy: `"Bros I send you 200k by mistake o."`
Guy laugh: `"Aunty you sure? Check well."`
Then he block her.

Mama Nkechi no cry. She no curse.
She go bank Monday, print statement, go police station.
Trace am. The guy use fake ID to open account.

2 weeks later, police call her: `"We don catch am.
E don dupe 12 people with the same trick."`

They return her 200k. Plus the bank add 25k compensation.

Since that day, Mama Nkechi get new rule:
`"If you rush me, I go slow you. If you shout, I go whisper."`

Now she be the POS aunty wey scammers avoid.
Because HK no dey fall for same trap twice.

_Moral: When trouble comes, don’t panic. Document, report, and let justice do the work._
