The Enebeli Elebuwa N5 million scam

Barely a week ago, a received a message, which stated that veteran Nollywood actor, Enebeli Elebuwa was in dire need of the N5 million to undergo surgery for a life-threatening ailment and naturally my spirit sunk like a platinum anchor.

However, barely 24 hours afterwards, i received another set of messages from some of my actor and film-making friends stating that the message that was being circulated about the actor was a fraud and i decided to share the second message with you and urge you to disregard the message and any such message in the not-so distant future till such messages have been confirmed to be true.

Read the message below:

"Please disregard any broadcast or information about saving Enebeli Elebuwa with N5million. It is a total FRAUD!!

No hospital or medical institution or group of people responsible for the veteran actor's health and well being has requested for such an amount.
DO NOT pay any money to anyone and DO NOT deal with anyone asking for money. Uncle Enebeli Elebuwa is responding positively to treatment now and nobody has asked for a dime from anyone.
DO NOT BE DUPED! BE WARNED!
Please re-broadcast ASAP.
