A UK-based Nigerian lady has shared a frightening experience involving strangers who showed up at her doorstep around 9 p.m., claiming their daughter’s missing phone was traced to her home.
She recounted the incident in a video shared on TikTok, warning others to be cautious of potential scams or criminal tricks.
According to her, she was home with her child when she heard a knock at the door. At first, she ignored it, but when it persisted, she went downstairs to check.
Standing outside were a man, a woman, and a teenage girl, who claimed the girl had lost her phone on a bus and that it had been tracked to her house.
Suspicious of the claim, the lady checked both her child’s and her own bags but found nothing.
Despite telling the strangers there was no phone inside, they insisted it was in her house.
She refused to let them in and quickly called the police to report the incident.
In her words: “Something happened to me here in the UK, on Wednesday, around 9 p.m. Someone knocked on my door. I didn’t answer at first because I wasn’t expecting anybody. The person knocked again and I had to go downstairs to see who it was.”
She continued: “When I got downstairs, I saw a man, a woman, and a teenage girl. They said the girl lost her phone on a bus and that they tracked it to my house.”
Days after, she revealed that neither the strangers nor the police had returned or followed up.
She began to question the authenticity of the event, wondering if it was a ploy to rob or harm her.
She added: “No police has come to my house, no police has called me. I don’t know if it’s a scam. If I opened the door that day, would they have done something to me?”
The incident has gone viral, with many online users reacting in the comment section and praising her for staying vigilant.
