Nice observation,
@all we should all be careful, scammers are everywhere, both buyers and sellers.
Personally I would only do physical deals in a banking hall and if you believe the individual is credible enough.
We have legitimate business men here, but we should also put it at the back of our mind that were still in Nigeria and such be very careful by taking all necessary precautions.
This is not an accusation, just a hint to prevent story that touch.
It will also be nice to indicate those you have successfully dealt with, so we can have more credibility to ourselves...
Thanks.

I,be always wondered how people avoid getting scammed on this section. I have a banker friend who moves cash for me.... I pay into his account here in the U.S and he pays naira into an account in Naija. This a a friend of mine but he still plays safe, waits till the cash hits his account here before he pays naira into my account.... We've moved a lot of dollars over the past few years. But his rate are fair, but not great. For better rates, I transfer directly from my bank here( Pay only about 45 dollars fee no matter the amount ) to my dorm aaccount in Naija and my bro who is a joint holder withdraws and changes at parallel market rate..... Problem with this is since November the stupid bank peeps have not been able to give him dollars.... Keep saying no dollars... Even when restrictions on cash deposit has been lifted
Now I cannot imagine doing a transaction like i stated above on nairaland.... Who makes the initial deposit first before the other individual reciprocate..... If there is a good answer I have 50 to 100k dollars I wanna change ( depending on rates).... Whoever is interested should let me know

I'm in fear.
I don't want to deal with anyone again.
I got scammed.
I sent $5000 to someone in Nigeria and it's been a week and i haven't received my money.
Mehn, You guys need to watch out.
These guys will take advantage of you.
What are you gonna do ??
Book a $1,500 flight to Nigeria to come track the guy who scammed you of a small amount of money and also waste your precious time.
I hope you learn from my mistakes and not fall a victim to them savages.
You will start hearing stories on how people are scammed here.
I was just laughing because it's just a small money to me.
I hope the guy uses the money for a reasonable stuff.

That's it! I changed my mind. My pals is in this market have advised me seriously against doing transactions with online peeps. The risk is just not worth it. In addition to the possibility of been scammed, even if the transfer goes through without any hitches, the fact I don't know the scource of Income puts me at a great risk....next thing u know EFCC will come and say u received money from dasuki funds or DSS will say u received money from boko haram sponsor...... I beg.... Better to change dollars at fair rate with peace of mind than changing at excellent rate and run into trouble.
For those who emailed me, please ignore my replies and sorry to have wasted your time

Meringe:
I've been duped here bf and I've been doing business here also,but it can't stop me from doing business with people. My clearing agent whom i sent money without seeing, i met him here. The agent that registered my trademark and nafdac registration, i met him here and I've not seen these guys till date. My first car, i bought it on nairaland and i paid without meeting the seller. Funny thing is that, the lady i insisted on seeing before I supply her my goods is the person that duped me.

Life is funny.

JAZES:

as much as i understand the fact that its risky to do business with someone online, i am also of the opinion that
doing business offline is not less risky probably because i have been doing business online for more than 10years now.
The truth is as long as you are dealing with human beings either online or offline, you can still get duped.

you can do a deal with someone in the states in person or send it to your gtb dom acct so your brother meets up with any prospects In the bank and transaction is done then

$800 dollars available for transfer from my UBA Dom account next week. Rate is 265 per dollar. Naira has to be sent to my UBA savings account FIRST. I dey fear. LOL. Please quote me if interested

JAZES:


Did you read about the story of one guy that went to buy dollars in the bank sometimes in november last year at trade fair, the banker called the aboki for him in the banking hall, he gave the aboki naira for $20k and when he was about to deposit the dollars in another bank it was discovered that all the dollars were fake. He quickly rush back to the bank to lodge complain but the banker who introduced the aboki to him denied him outrightly, eventually he was thrown out of the bank by police. I wish i can still get that thread(please anyone who has the link to that thread should drop it here abeg)
My point is if someone is out to cheat you from the beginning, no matter how careful you are they will cheat you it doesnt matter if its online or offline.

I,m not saying you cannot get duped in any scenario but the risk is less with someone you know. It now depends on the risk versus benefit ratio do the deal. For example my long time guy has offered to change 100k dollars for me at 275 , while I have received offers of 280 to 290 on my email. So I have to ask myself , do I wanna change at 275 with my guy who has done transactions for me more than 10 times in the past few years or do I wanna because of 500 k naira to 1.5million naira risk dealing with whom I don't know. I think I'll stick with whom I know.

he can still dupe me o but that's one in a million chance( I'm sure he thinks the same thing about me).

The issue of the source of naira credited into my account is also something I need to look at




I know in business, the less the risk the less the returns but I have very low risk aversion..... Unlike strong business men like you guys

moshino:



How about the issue of the source of your $s, its rare to come across a legitimate Nigerian in US who has legitimate $50k - $100k cash at a whim to transfer to Nigeria for exchange. It takes a very long time to save upto that amount of cash in US, even if you're a medical doctor.

Hmmnn. True talk! Some think people just pick USD on the floor in America. I am worried about all these online exchange - transfer going on here. Someone should not start posting here that he/she has been duped soon ooo.
Just my advise. Thank me later.
