A man recently fell victim to an unusual scam when a customer gave him a fake ₦200 note featuring Dora the Explorer, the beloved children’s cartoon character.
The incident was captured in a video shared on social media by a user known as OD Trace.
In the video, the man proudly displays the counterfeit note, which closely resembles an authentic 200 bill, except for one glaring detail, the image of Dora.
