Beware Of Computer Village by Jeremy123(m): 10:10pm On Jan 15, 2019
Today wasn't actually a good day at all
Is it just today?
Actually this January sad
I just feel like commiting suicide as I'm in serious pain right now
I am still right here wondering if I was foolish or too senseless.
My phone has been having issues since which have made me go offline.
I successfully got a place to repair it although not fully repaired as its still has fault.
I got out of the complex and was walking down to the ikeja under bridge not the ikeja along side and I saw a crowd of people standing close to a table with cartons of phones on top and something dark though like I little wrapped carton just like the size and shape of a Nokia battery. (They were 3 in number with one having a red mark in it)
What was happening
This was new!
Let me see
With 2k, you could win a tecno spark k7 phone
You just needed to follow his hands as he slide the three objects and all you just had to do was the pick the one with a red mark inside.
Wow.
It felt so good but mehn
I didn't have up to 2k as I had only 700 naira in my wallet.
I stood
I swear this wasn't me standing
I don't know how it happened but I just happened to keep standing and was watching.
Then he shuffled the stuffs on the table and while shuffling kept showing the red mark in it and asked a girl to pick the one with the red mark.
She picked then she won
Wow..Miss A just won a phone
She was about taking the phone only then the man was like you need to have 2k to take the phone away.
I was like wow so this was how someone would just win a phone like that.
Did it again for like 3 different people ( MR A, B AND C) although they lost and regained their money back but they didn't win the phone
You lose 2k then you bring any amount with you to play then you are given your 2,500 back.
During the time he was shuffling the card and asking them to pick the one with the red mark I kept winning in my mind.
I didn't have up to 2k tho
Then he shuffled again
I knew the one with the red mark but didn't voice out
Then he was like, pick anyone for free
I told him I don't have money o
Then he was like just pick
I picked
I just picked the correct one
He then told me that I should bring any amount with me and I told him I'm not interested.
He said don't worry
Just bring it and I was like its just 700 naira
I gave him
He said which one did you pick
I showed him little did I know it has been changed
Who changed it?
I didn't know
Sir please give me my money back I told you I'm not playing my transport fare is inside from ikeja to oshodi
Mr D who was at my back was like chill he will give you your money back then I had to stay back.
Continued to stay
I wasn't staying cos I wanted to but was waiting to be given my money back
Little did I know this was were my problem laid.
I waited
People kept joining and were leaving maybe they didn't win but one thing I know was that no one won the phone.
Then he shuffled again then miss A picked the correct one again and she wasn't allowed to carry the phone simply cos she didn't have up to 2k.
Then he shuffled again and he faced me this time to pick
Before he told me anything I told him bros my 7h
I'm not interested o and he was like just pick anyone for free and I would be given 1,500 immediately
I said I'm not interested just give me my money abeg
He said whether I picked the correct one or not he will give me my 7h and I picked the correct one
I had just earn 1500 just like that cool but he hasn't given me the money yet as others were already saying wow and kinda congratulating me then he was like bring anything with you that I would
I told him I had no cash on me again
He was like bring your phone
I had my younger brother phone on me (partner phone) and the note 4 which I had just finished repairing.
I gave him the note 4 as my sim was still in the partner mobile.
He then shuffled again this time although I told him I wasn't interested and someone picked won but remained there maybe to win more
I couldn't go cos my phone was in his hand and my winnings
I was asking for the phone then baba was like checking the phone
Then the same guy ( Mr D) or another person ( Mr E) or so asked me to calm down that he would give me my phone (this was the person that just won extra cash and refused to leave)
The shuffling guy then faced me and was like pick any card for free and your phone and 20k will be given to you.
I swear with my life
I wasn't interested anymore in the 20k or the 700 naira as I just wanted to leave with my phone.
Then I picked I won
He said congratulations
He then told me to pick again then I picked the same cos my eyes was on the table and I didn't remember him shuffling the card again or someone exchanging it then I had lost.
My phone was gone
My 7h was gone
I didn't agree o
I started shouting at him
I really was shouting at him then others were like asking me to bring my voice down that he wouldn't give me like that but that I should beg him
I refused to beg him then went around the table to where he was standing cos he continued shuffling for others to pick.
My phone was in his pocket
I put my hand in his was almost successful at pulling it out then he now told me to go back to where I was standing.
I continued shouting at him
He said if I like keep shouting he wasn't going to listen to me
Then another person (Mr E) called me closer told me to beg him and I went to beg the shuffler guy and he told me to bring 20k
I told him I didn't have that amount of money as I just finished repairing my phone with 13k although I told him 31 as this was the amount infinix demanded to fix it.
I told him I don't have 20 o
Then he was like just bring 10k
I told him no money
He said ATM was on me that u should go and withdraw na
I then showed him my phone balance on my phone that there was just 995 naira.
He said I should come tomorrow
I can't o
I may not meet him tomorrow then I told him to give me my phone that shebi I told you I wasn't interested then I continued shouting.
Then a responsible man came cos he was dressed responsibly then was like what's happening here
I told him then the shuffler guy was like I no commot the phone from him pocket that I was the one that gave him the phone.
I told him
No sir o
I told him I wasn't interested anymore from the onset then the man left leaving me alone with the shuffler guy without solving the case on ground

After leaving I had no choice than to continue shouting at the shuffler guy and he was like I should go and beg the responsible man that only him would he listen to then I went and told him
He was like bring 10k I told him I don't have that amount that I only had 5k which isn't with me but in my bitcoin account that if they had a wallet address I could send to them.
They said they don't know what that is
Then I told him there wasn't any way to get money aside the bitcoin then he asked me to come tomorrow
I can't

I can't



Then I had no choice than to try to sell my bitcoin
Told him it wouldn't take up to 30 minutes.
They were like in Yoruba cos they thought I didn't hear Yoruba saying he is a yahoo boy
He is doing bitcoin
Then they started asking me for format
I just had to laugh it off cos I needed my phone back
I had no choice than to sell my little bitcoin at a rate not befitting.
Then I asked that my phone be given to me that I would use it to log in and sell the bitcoin. At first the shuffler guy brought it out from his boxers
When did he put it there?
He then collected the partner phone from me so that I wouldn't run away.
I got the phone
Removed my sim from the partner into the infinix and logged in to my bitcoin holder website remitano.
Then they started pestering me told me that how I take do am
That I should drop format for them and so all
Then the shuffler guy came and stood beside me while I logged in while the responsible man went to the table to shuffle
I was like WTF
Is he part of them
Are all of them included?
Miss A
Mr A
Mr B
Mr C
Mr D and all were a gang
They had it all in mind
I was finished
I couldn't cry �

I just accepted my fate
Logged into remitano
Searched for a buyer on remitano then told one of them that I needed to verify myself on remitano but that I didn't know the number on it.
He was reluctant but later accepted then he called his number out while I called him
His phone number was 0817 014 8525 but true caller identified him as Terry

Re: Beware Of Computer Village by Jeremy123(m): 12:30am On Jan 16, 2019
The main reason for me posting the number is cos of others not to fall victim next time
It may not be this way tho
So when I got a buyer of my bitcoin

Re: Beware Of Computer Village by Jeremy123(m): 12:34am On Jan 16, 2019
He took time to pay as I supposed into my zenith bank account (then I remembered my alert sin wasn't in the infinix (that was one of the problems not solved) then I had to put it into Terry phone to receive alert.
When the money entered from the guy and he uploaded proof of payment
The proof of payment came with his balance ( I mean the remitano guy's balance)
Then the shuffler who was beside me said he wasn't going to collect 5k but 25k that I just sold my bitcoin for a huge amount and that I have 259k in my account.
I didn't find it funny though but mehn had to explain

Re: Beware Of Computer Village by Jeremy123(m): 12:40am On Jan 16, 2019
Told him that wasn't my balance
He didn't believe tho
He still doesn't
Then told him to give me his account to send it to. He the former shuffler guy then called the new shuffler guy ( the responsible man) and asked for his account number.
He said he doesn't have account but that his friend does then he gave me his friend account to pay into
His friend account was NWAONUMA JOHN NNAEMEKA UBA 2108039526
Then I sent the money

Re: Beware Of Computer Village by Jeremy123(m): 12:46am On Jan 16, 2019
And when I went offline although just now though and I checked the name this was what I found online

Re: Beware Of Computer Village by Jeremy123(m): 12:54am On Jan 16, 2019
I got settled
My phones given to me then I was asked to go and don't look back
Got to the bus stop
Wanted to enter the bus only to discover my wallet is not in my pocket at all but what I don't know is if they took it from me while I was disorganized or it was picked while going to the bus stop.
Now, there wasn't money in the wallet but my school ID CARD and an Executive ID CARD of my faculty association and an ATM CARD was in there.
There wasn't any money in the wallet tho I'm surprised why they took it.
What can be done? As this is the first time this us happening to me
Can the bank do something more like refund the money or so
I'm just confused
Please no one should fall for the scam too
Cc: Lalasticala
Please if found contact me

I wouldn't drop my details if it wasn't real
Not everyone has to believe
I didn't tell you it was a marketing strategy
I have a bitcoin wallet address but I didn't tell you I wanted any marketing strategy if it was a marketing strategy, I would have put in my wallet address

Bitcoin is not done that way
I just want others to learn cos they develop new format everyday

Welcome bro, longthroat kills..........You're lucky to have gotten off so lightly, in some cases they will collect the money as well and not return the phone. You will then be threatened to leave with blinding slaps and some kicks grin grin grin
