The caller raised concerns about payment approval prompts that were appearing on ZionFelix's phone, a claim that Zion verified.

Zion refrained from returning the call when it dropped, preventing the unfolding of the scheme and leaving the caller's final action truncated.

Notably, however, the number used for the call did not correspond to an official MTN office number; rather, it was traced back to a Glo number.

What ZionFelix did upon realizing the caller was a momo fraudster

Following this alarming encounter, Zion proactively contacted MTN for verification, leading him to confirm that it was indeed a fraudulent endeavor.

The fraudulent scheme seemed to involve exploiting payment approval notifications within mobile money applications to potentially gaining unauthorised access to users' funds.
