Lady Takes iPhone11 Pro Max to Sell In Computer Village But Returns With A Different Phone (Photos)

A lady has taken to Twitter to reveal that she has become a Devotional victim of the traders at Computer Village in Ikeja, IgbereTV reports.

She initially took to Twitter to reveal that her uncle brought back multiple iPhone11 Pro Max phones and she's looking for buyers.

Apparently, trying to make a sale, she went to Computer Village with one of the phones, but when she got home with the phone, she found out it had been switched without her knowledge and she now had a different phone.

She tweeted:

Whenever I have business there, I already have where I am going mapped out. No nonsense branching into shops. I zoom in and zoom out to avoid stories that touch.

It's really the devil's workshop.

Those days in Port Harcourt (Garrison) its a like phone/computer village.
it happened to me, I went to sell blackberry bold 2 for 45k, I don't know what happened, but I found myself shouting for help and looking for the supposed buyer of the phone. Luckily I recognised the face of the guy.

I couldn't eat throughout that day, so I went to Garrison the next day, and paid police to help me standby for a week at Garrison (Garrison became my second home)

After few days the idiot came to Garrison, immediately I saw him, I alerted the police who pounced on him.

The guy don sell the phone since, so I got part my money back.
So anytime I enter there, na to shine my eyes too. And don't follow anyone to any hideout to price phone. Infact. Go with 2 or 3 persons. Close to a bank or eatery sef.

LMAO

This right here just made me remember a time, about 7yrs ago, when I gave my younger bro a phone for him to go sell off at Garrison...cos am usually too busy at work or too stressed out when am back from work.

So, on that faithful day, he left in the morning.
Only for me to return home in the evening n he still wasn't home.
By the time he finally returned, dude wasn't with my phone but was with 5k. When I was expecting at least 25k to 30k.

When dude finally summoned courage to talk about what had happened to my phone, dude said he got to Garrison and gave my phone to a guy who had showed interest to purchase the phone.
The guy gave him 5k to hold while he checks out the phone as they were WALKING to his "imaginary" shop.
But before my bro could say "Jack" the guy had disappeared.
That is, the guy had cunningly walked away with the phone or walked into an unknown corner with the phone before my bro realized he's no longer with him grin


Garrison boys ??
Hmmmm
I fear who no fear Dem

I don't know or care about this your story. How do you know that a particular market has loads of scammers, you go there to sell your phone and still get scammed?

Don't you believe that voodoo or dark power might be used to hypnotize the victims?

Na so I think say I don see orkpor..one guy wan sell infix hot 8 for me 15k..I rush am quick.

Small time the guy say make I give am phone back. Say him done see buyer to pay more. Him return my money to me. No problem abi?



I just put money for pocket..later check I see just 1k the rest na carton wrapp.

I and a friend was once a victim of this but thank God that I didn't fall for it.
We met the guy on the street inside computer with a techno L9plus and he said he is selling for 12k which looked very cheap to my friend but I insisted will go outside of computer village to transact business as per say cash no dey and we need to collect money from ATM which he was reluctant to follow us because he said we should collect and come back inside computer village.

In my mind, I knew that he had plans and once we are outside of computer village, his gragra will reduce.

After we collected the money from ATM, I told my friend to give him the money while I recieved the phone to check the device.

All of a sudden, some bad guys came around and he said he wasn't selling again while also started shouting and behaving roughly that we should give him his phone. My friend collected the money just like that and told me to give the guy his phone but I knew something wasn't right with the money.

As a lagos guy i quickly told my friend to check the money before I release the phone to them because I was so sure that something wasn't right the money might have been changed to fake notes.

Lo and behold, the money was all cartons cut into the size of real money. Only 1k was there.

I didn't release the phone. One of the bad later changed it to real money and we collected our 11k back and they collected their phone from me.

You have to be extra smart when doing and transaction there.

I work at computer village. If you don't trust street boys, walk into shops that have what you seek. Examine what the shop owner or his assistant offers you.
Satisfied? Pay and collect receipt.
You may demand warantee clause included in the receipt/invoice.
If the product develops issue within warantee period, feel free to return it back for rectification.
You stand a higher chance of been scammed there if you shop from street boys in the evening (close of work).
Goodluck!
