One of the four boys explained how the new trick works. He said,
“If I have something to do with a lady and she is calling for high amount, I will collect the account details and forward to my team member who screenshots it and send back as alert to the lady.
“The transaction is called `breeze’ because if the transfer is made and the alert received Immediately, the money does not last more than 15 minutes in the victim’s account before reversing back.
“Sometimes, I go to club, carry girls on the street and when they charge me high, I don’t bargain with them.
“After I am through with them, I transfer their money first thing in the morning and make sure they confirm receiving the alert immediately.
“Once the alert is received, I leave them because the transaction reverses back within 15 minutes and once it reversed, you know that it is a fake alert.”
The suspect said that any transaction that does not reflect the kobo in the beneficiary’s account after addition to the original account is fake.
