One Mr Ibrahim using arik air to scam people, scammed me of my hard earned money. God will surely repay him. Here's his phone number and email so that you can beware.+2348180332846 or in this format 08180332846. Email is info@arikair.com. Beware !.one Hilda Agabi is his accomplice.
Lol...Funny enough, I had a very big quarrel with my dad because of this man and his yeye accomplice that claimed to be a doctor at Eko hospital. I got his contact from a trusted source who did not know it was a scam. The day of the supposed interview, he called me to say that I have to go to Eko hospital first for medicals, then he gave me the "doctors" number to call. In my mind I was wondering which company conducts medicals first before a job interview.

I decide to call the "doctor" while I was in a keke on my way to the hospital. She now told me that I have to pay N15,600 in the bank, that she would send the account number and I would be refunded when I go for the main interview and that I must be in the hospital before 9:30am cos she was leaving soon. In my mind, I was like Eko hospital that I know? Which time did they stop collecting cash in the hospital?. I already knew it was a scam so I just cut the call and told the keke driver to drop me at the next junction. Luckily, we had not gone far from my house.

I took a bike home and my parents were asking me what happened. I explained everything to them, na im my pupsy provoke. "How do I know it's a scam" . We argued seriously, even my mum was trying to make him see reason. Eventually, I had to call the person who gave me the guys number and explained to her, she was now the one that told my dad that it's definitely a scam before he calmed down. I will never forget that day.

Just for the sake of ppl who might be a potential target for this harden criminals roaming among good ppl.. I was very busy then and needed to relocate bcus of distance I cover from my house to work.. So a friend volunteer to help we secure a good apartment around ojodu Berger.. Unkown to us the purported agent was actually a developer and he has committed same blocks of flat to several gullible preys like us,. We deposited 100k each for separate apartment,. After several months of unfulfilled promises he requested additional 100k as d flats which was under construction was almost finished I bluntly refused and claimed until I have keys to mine I won't make any more financial commitment,. My humble friend made another deposit.. After which I started my own investigation into the man and d house in question.. Low and behold several agents had so much derogatory remarks about the developers treacherous dealing.. Na them I know sey gbege don happen.. Bit my friend was adamant.. When the house was finished and we went to secure ours.. From long distance down d road I could see a cotton/window blind already In d apartment he supposedly bethroted to me.. See me dey laugh inside car cus I knew what had happened.. On getting their govt already took up the possession after several complains.. We were refered to Alagbon police station for an official complaint.. My brother and sister in d house.. My name was number 215...this man already swindled over 80millions from unsuspecting individuals.. Next I read d case in punch and it was all over the internet.. A woman I met said she paid 750k.. For 3bedroom flat.. I just dey thank God mine was less.. So ppl don't be corned out of ur hard earned money.. If u need a house do some research

That was 2012! I was so desperate to have a phone bb to be precise,Pinging things na! I was able to save up to 10k, my one month pocket money that time! Only for to check a website like that, maybe jiji I can't remember and I saw a used BlackBerry phone for sale at 10k. I saw the pictures and the number, I called the number, he convinced me he was real that once I pay the money that he will send the phone to me.
I went to bank to pay the money and then I notified him about the payment. After 2hours, I called him, that was how he didn't pick my calls and I was blocked!

This website named paperback-limited dot com scammed a family friend and our village minister to the tune of 6 million. This fraudulent website went and cloned the original site which is paperbackpaper dot co dot uk.


Bro If You're really serious about getting the guy and not just some leave him to God kind of people, you can still get him. I hate scammers and the bad names they give to hard working Nigerians.

I've checked out the site and the guy is truly a Nigerian but using a fake name, You can report him to his Hosting company that the site is being used for fraudulent activities and they'll take the site down( they can even help you track him). To be honest, the site doesn't really look like a clone of the original one, but it still looks shady. I don't know if you're a tech guy but there's a simple way u can get his info like the pic below. The guy is a really foolish guy that can't even hide his tracks (Ps: i blurred out some of the info)

I've been scammed several times just because I like helping others.
I met a young boy on fb claiming he is an ophan and needed help from me to pay his school fees in Naija. The boy blocked me after sending him 80k. Na den I know say na scam.
I was lucky he blocked me because because if he had asked more money from me I would have continued helping him.

I was approached by a man at mile-2 area, as i was coming from school back home, d hold up from Ikorodu to Oshodi b4 getting to mile2, The man approach me that he has some seized good at the port, asking if i can help him out in order to retrieve his goods worth millions. I my mind, i was like see scammer, The last thing i remember was that he hold my hands, and i followed him back to one slum along Mushin, they empty my pocket, collect my expensive phone, still ordered me to go home and bring more money. I got home as planned and started searching for money every nook and corner of the house as if I kept one there. Its my brother that notice this unusual behavior, he raised alarm immediately, and rain of prayers was showered on me by Cleric, that was when i returned back to normal.

Before then i never thought i would everly be scammed, you know, as omo eko, since then, i mind how i get into physical contact in the public.

The truth is, scammers are devising every means to hunt, may God help us.

It happened about three decades ago. I was coming from a JAMB tutorial centre located in Bariga to iyana Ipaja. A guy accosted me in Oshodi while trying to board Molue going to Iyana Ipaja marketing a glittering and beautiful SEIKO wrist watch.
The market value of the watch then was N150 so priced it to N25. I was so happy when he agreed to sell it . I gave him the money and he helped me wrapped it inside a brown envelope.
While in the Molue going to my destination, I was rehearsing how I negotiated my way into buying the highly priced watch. The next action was to admire the watch again but I was shocked to my marrow when found three pebbles of flat granite instead of the watch.
I looked side ways to check whether I was being watched because I was shivering involuntary. Nobody really cared, I tore the enlope and dropped everything on the bus.
3 decades ago??/ shocked shocked shocked, my ancestor I hail oo!

I was scammed by my lecturer shocked
Newly recruited, young guy.

He claimed he will teach some MATLAB simulations that I needed for my project - TEACH.
Was it 30 or 50K then, I can't remember for sure but it was 6 years ago o.

Collected part payment. Teaching time oya nu, he was yapping - Light issues, laptop issues, no time issues. Managed to meet him a few times.

Then he said, "you know what, I'll do everything for you in my house and give you, ok?". Naive undergrad, what do I know kwanu. Lol. I said, "ok"

Two yearzs later, I realized, he copied the work of an older graduand. And that he doesn't even know how to use ths software as I thought. And that I had been scammed. And that he scammed and likely is still scamming other students.

He just collects such big money from you, and lift other people's works for you. angry
One of our lecturers told us the MATLAB software available here in Nigeria is a pirated one. It was octave he used while taking us the course (Mathematical Package).

Already all of you will die by accident before the year runs out. The man you scammed is currently running BP and is almost wishing for death.


Don't be silent report the case to police, let them know,tell them about the website, the bank account, aand everything that's when you help others
