Man Opens Up About How Yah00 Boys Shattered His Family And Caused His Mother’s D3ath

A devastated man has shared the heartbreaking impact of internet fraudsters, also known as “Yahoo boys,” on his family, revealing how their actions led to his mother’s death. Identified as Ifeanyichukwu, he opened up after seeing a viral post on X (formerly Twitter), where a user tried to downplay the damage caused by such criminals.

The original post claimed:

“Yahoo boys have done absolutely nothing for the hate they receive… They just want to take Sandra and John’s money and use it to buy oversized polo man.”

Furious by the comment, Ifeanyichukwu described how his mother’s life was destroyed after she was targeted by fraudsters. He explained that his mother, who had just retired, lost her entire retirement savings to the scammers. The traumatic event led her to suffer a stroke, which she initially survived. Sadly, the trauma triggered additional strokes, eventually causing her death.

As if this wasn’t enough, Ifeanyichukwu also shared the distressing news that his father’s ATM card was stolen after it got stuck in a bank machine. Despite his father rushing inside the bank to report the issue, fraudsters managed to withdraw ₦1.4 million from his account using a POS terminal.

In his emotional post, Ifeanyichukwu vehemently condemned the fraudsters and anyone who attempts to justify their harmful actions.
