What Happened After I Bought Nokia 6300 At Wuse Market by Flana: 5:23pm On May 17 |
When it comes to purchasing a new phone, we expect it to fulfill all the functions promised in the box. However, a recent encounter with a phone seller left me frustrated and disillusioned. I had been eyeing the Nokia 6300, a classic model known for its durability and simplicity, perfect for those who prefer a reliable phone without all the bells and whistles of modern smartphones. So, I went to the market and stumbled upon a seller selling the Nokia 6300 at Wuze Market, old Bannex Plaza. Excitedly, I made the purchase, eager to experience the nostalgia of using a beloved classic. However, my excitement quickly turned into disappointment when I realized that the phone I had received was not what I expected. Despite the box claiming that it was a 4G phone with WhatsApp functionality and Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities, the phone I received lacked these essential features, including the absence of Kai OS. Feeling cheated and frustrated, I reached out to the seller, only to be met with excuses and denials. It became apparent that I had fallen victim to a scam—a counterfeit Nokia 6300 sold under false pretenses. Reflecting on this experience, I realized the importance of being vigilant when making purchases, especially when it comes to mobile phones, at Bannex Plaza, either from the shop or along the road. Here are a few lessons I learned that I hope can help others avoid similar pitfalls: Verify the Features: Before making any purchase, especially of mobile phones, always verify that the product you are buying has all the features you expect. In the case of the Nokia 6300, ensure that it is indeed a 4G phone with WhatsApp functionality, Wi-Fi, and hotspot capabilities. Please take all the time needed to verify those. Check Before Paying: Don’t be afraid to inspect the product thoroughly before making a payment. Test the functions, ask questions, and ensure everything matches what was promised. Ask Questions:If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Ask the seller plenty of questions to clarify any doubts you may have about the product. In conclusion, the seller refused to change it or refund my money. A lot of us love to see change in this country, but no one is ready to do the right thing. 24 Likes 2 Shares

Fufu As a street guy always insist on unboxing a phone at computer village there with the seller. And make sure they agree with you that you won't buy if the functions are not there 16 Likes 1 Share |

Banex is notorious for fake phones. Made a terrible purchase like this last year with a Redmi 12c. Always use official stores, or places like Pointek, 3C Hub. As much as you can avoid personal shops.. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

When you go anywhere they sell gadgets in Nigeria and they see that you don't know much about what you want, there is 80% probability that you will be cheated or scammed. Go to computer village in Lagos Go to GSM village or Banex in Abuja Go to terminus market in Jos Go to farm village in Kano Go to Challenge in Ilorin Go to Garrison tech cluster in PH Go to GSM village Aba. Just to mention a few Anywhere you see those so called tech boys they are always cheating unsuspecting and non tech savvy customers. Carry your phone say u wan sell Dem go price your phone and downgrade it even you wey wan sell phone go dey cry for your phone, but try and price same phone from them they will so hype it and call a very huge price. Next time go with someone who knows about phone or a military personnel 16 Likes |
