Scammers and blackmailers from Nigeria love using Locanto and usually post an ad with a pic of a beautiful woman (if the pic looks too good to be true, it probably isn't true). If you check other major cities you will probably find the same ad posted there as well....and usually the ads ask to reply by Whatsapp only. If you are not using an unRICA'd sim, they will get hold of your name, your Facebook account and your friends from FB. The 'lady' will send you a semi-nude pic if you respond - always use apps like TINEYE to do an internet search of any photos these scammers use. You will then be asked to send a sexy pic of yourself. Don't do it guys!! Once they have the pic or compromising text from you (which they copy), the threats to send the pics or text to your friends and family (who they name) will begin. If you block their number they will contact you again (normally at about 7pm at night) from a different number...block this number and they will phone you. Ignore the call and keep blocking the numbers. DO NOT send these scammers any cash - once you do they will screw you forever. Keep blocking and ignoring their calls and they will move on to easier picking. Beware of LOCANTO.
