Do you want proof that human beings are behind whatever Internet enabled device and social media channels? Look no further than the Twitter handle of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
As the MMM scheme continues to generate controversy following its freeze, the verified @officialEFCC account has ceaselessly trolled people whose monies are trapped in the ponzi scheme.
Some of the tweets are serious hilarity as you’ll see below.
1. When someone wanted to blame the rise of MMM on EFCC
You mean amongst the plethora of venality we fight daily? Ponzi schemes aren’t sustainable. There were a number of warnings. #DontDoIt https://t.co/GeUhP4nrVT

2. This is fair warning but people don’t like to hear word
If it looks or sounds too good to be true, it almost always is. Do NOT patronize wonder banks. Protect yourself. #DontDoIt

3. The play on the word ‘bravo’ here is quite brilliant
Brav … no wait … MAVRO to them. https://t.co/Uh3iMUlZFB

4. When Punch reported that EFCC was mocking MMM victims…
C’mon..have a laugh. Mockery is too strong a word. https://t.co/uvBOsb6gDb

5. Someone else wanted to know what to do if they lose money to sports betting
At least they have an office you can gate crash when you’re angry. https://t.co/PwcOMrDFSi

6. They know a bit of history so they checked this other person who claimed the rise of MMM was due to the bad economy
Hmm not really. The American economy was good but then there was a nice chap called Bernie Madoff. https://t.co/spsHrLk4Ww

7. They know it’s not an act of God
Exactly how you just said it? Verbatim? Probably not. https://t.co/K1tsa1qy1Z

9. But this double hit at this guy’s fashion and bald head got us crying
Relax brother c’mon. That bow tie is too tight. Live a little. Would have said let your hair down but… https://t.co/sr8esxvGNJ

12. And when this upcoming detective promised to find out the officer in charge
Too gigantic a task brother. Maybe one day. https://t.co/Df4srO32X4

13. They also know about landlords and money
Ran away? Landlord? Sure he’s the real owner of the land? Landlords tend not to run…they have to collect rent. https://t.co/u1R1jBIwek
