MC Monica Exposes Phishing Scam After Bank Account Drained

MC Monica, a Nigerian entertainer, raised concerns on September 17, 2026, after millions were reportedly withdrawn from his bank account following a payment of a ₦5,000 traffic fine. He received an SMS the day prior, alerting him to a road traffic offence, which prompted him to click a link and make the payment.

Upon checking his account the next day, he found a "WEB Buy" debit of approximately ₦1.85 million among several unauthorized transactions. The SMS messages he received appeared to impersonate the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), warning him of a new traffic offence and requiring prompt payment for an electronic ticket.

The links in the messages directed him to domains like frscgov.top/ng, which were confirmed to have no connection to any verified government channel. Commenters identified this as a phishing attack aimed at harvesting banking details.

MC Monica expressed uncertainty about whether to blame his service provider or the perpetrators of the scam.
