I created this post to get in touch with those who have been defrauded via Jiji recently so as to rub minds and come up with possible solutions and take urgent actions.

if you get defrauded on classified ads na your fault

[color=#990000][/color]u can't be defrauded if u play by d roles

Me by one guy that claims to be a sales rep for some company that deals with UK used system, was offered a system of 8gig ram and 1tb ram for 52k, they'll deliver to me in Lagos because they're in kogi but I will have to pay a commitment fee, ended up losing 18k to them. Was really stupid then

I almost lost my 20k sometimes back too. Said I will have to pay in first before he could send someone to take me to his shop. A deal on an infinix note 2 phone which I refused.

A dude in my school lost 60k, nigga wanted an iphone 6, paid 60k in advance and that was it, ordinary toy iPhone, he didn't get from anyone

You are the architect of your own misfortune. How can you buy a laptop of that spec for as low as 52k.

80% of Online deals in Nigeria are scam. I prefer to walk into a shop and buy my stuff.

On Jiji, there is a warning of never pay in advance to a seller. The transaction should be like what hoes say "Money for hand, back for ground".

That is how I bought a dead PC. Lost 40k

I'm still depressed about it

Lost 48k to one nigga on Jiji and the painful thing about the whole stuff is that Jiji are not doing anything about it. It's like they consent to what this scammers are doing.

Don't you ever ever ever attempt to pin the blame on jiji for your misfortune as it is clearly stated on their website site that buyers should not send money to the sellers without proper physical assessment of the item(s) you intend to buy.
It's your fault for not obeying the instructions

Jiji connects buyers and sellers so responsibility is mostly on the individual to trade safely.

I have gotten many stuff off jiji for much cheaper than the market price and it is always face to face. If you are not in my locality, forget the deal.

How much you can talk about the same thing. For example, you came to the store to buy food, you were given food, and you money. conclusion, there is no need to pay money in advance.

I laff, I just laff!
You don't blame jiji for your "unsmartness"

Some human beings are really dumb. They probably dont know the differnce btw jiji, olx and jumia, konga and co.

No wonder some of them are blaming jiji for their stupidity. Jiji and olx are very wonderful platforms if u know your way round them.

If you dont know how to use classified sites why not ask from people with experience instead of using your money to do experiment.

whenever i hear people are being scammed on jiji, i asked mysef how they fall for that cheap thing, you were asked to pay commitment fee n you went and sent the money without seeing the persn or the product asif they charmed you to send the money.
