There is a couple of Fake Facebook Ugandan Accounts in use and around Uganda that you must be aware of. Lying on the fact that the internet is growing and many people have been exposed to it, several people may face the challenge of fraud. Of course, not everyone is aware of these activities more so social media newbies.

What is Fraud?
Fraud is an intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud can violate civil law, a criminal law, or it may cause no loss of money, property, or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong.
A vice adopted from some first-world countries, Ugandans have also thrown smart tricks to fellow countrymen who have got no first idea about the vice, leading to loss of money in such a tricky way, life, and sometimes threats. Today I will show you the commonest tricks many Facebook pirates are using, the accounts they pass through, and the phone numbers they can use to trick you into sending the money. I’ll also include links to every account for proof and evidence if you want to check these accounts out.
Tricks Ugandan Facebook Pirates use
The biggest and most shocking incidence in this topic of Fake Facebook Ugandan Accounts is that all the accounts we have been able to find are Female Ugandan accounts. What we are not sure of is if it’s a man behind them or not, or if it’s the same person running all these Fake Facebook Ugandan Accounts.
In the first place, a woman in-boxes you and tells you that she’s working in Canada. She will proceed to ask about your job and where you are working from. Of course, if you are working in Uganda, you will mention it. That steps up her next move.
She asks you for help and it’s not money. You will not realize it until it happens, here she is narrating her story of how the Network is so down, and she cannot reach her family who is in Uganda, she just wants you to call them and let them know that she sent them money over their accounts.
Anyone with a good heart will buy the story. Here you are, asking for the numbers you must call. She sends two numbers claiming, that MTN belongs to her brother while Airtel is her sister who is far off Kampala and could be in Kalisizo, Jinja, Mityana, and the like.
Once you call, the person will tell you to inform their Sister who is in Canada that Mom is sick, suffering from Fever and high blood pressure. Here you are being used as a medium of communication between three people who stay together in the same country Uganda.
Suddenly, the sister in Uganda will call you and request you to tell their elder sister working abroad that she sent the money to an account that was deactivated a few months before the transaction and claims that the bank wants 50k to activate the account again so they can be able to withdraw.
You are a medium as I said; you inform her about it. This is the beginning of the drama. She claims to be in the office and cannot go out at the same time. She wants you to help her send them 50k and promises you that they will send back 100k once they can activate and withdraw from the account. Of course, they cannot ask for 100k, or more. Pirates ask for a sum affordable. (Uganda Zaabu)
With the stories made up earlier, the sick mother, the poverty-swept homesteads in Jinja, and Kalisizo, the 100k promised back. You may in one way be caught up and send this money. Trust me you will be a gone case. These are the new tips they are using online now that the security is a bit tight for physical robbing.
