Internet fraudsters popularly known as Yahoo boys, have reportedly discovered a way to fake video calls and swindle victims.
A video shared by popular Nigerian singer Peter Okoye explained the new technology that allowed the fraudsters to mimic the live movements of an unrelated person with the use of an app called “OBS Studio”.
The technique would fool a person into thinking they’re talking with someone else when they’re not.
