419 And Thief On Nairaland by junedraza(m): 8:18pm On Dec 02, 2011
I wanted to buy an iphone 4 using this platform. So one of the guy name Lino Fido offered me for iphone 4 (this guy have this thread https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-802535.0.html ). We communicated on phone and mails. He sent me pictures of the phone which i like it and asked me to deposit 30k in his account since he is in Benin and as soon he gets alert he will send the phone to lagos and i pay the remaining balance to his partner. I paid 30k in the account number he sent to me yesterday and since today morning there is no update. He refused to pick my calls and doesnt reply to my mails and messages.

I bought plenty things on Nairaland. From a small pendrive to my PS3, my blackberry infact more than 10 items and never had such problem before.

I know my 30k is gone but you guys just dont pay to any account or dont deal with any one till both parties are not dealing face to face there may be many 419s on Nairaland.

Thank you.

Why don't you guys ever learn?No matter how bad you need a good or service,its always best to pay and collect such good/service in person.A reliable business client can always disappoint you at any time so its best to just be cautious.

By the way,I wonder why you had to transact a deal as far as Benin when you can get the iPhone 4 in Lagos at a competitive price.We all learn from mistakes so take heart and be strong.

Thank you.

how long ago did you pay the money into his account?
the guy might be ill/can't use a phone or whatever hardship he might be facing.

be patient - he could be back soon!

I just checked the guys thread, he didn't advertise any iphone4. Anyway, that's y those guys exit on Nairaland cos someone must always fall!!!,it's so annoying. How can someone tell u pay deposit of 30k n tells u he will send d item right away. Do u think he is ready to take d risk of sending item without collecting his full cash? Especially from Benin??. He must av told u the iphone4 is 50k(I guess).
I av made d so many online transactions (worth 180k) with Nairalanders without seeing them and it has all gone well. When dealing with people on Nairaland, always check the guys profile, look at his past posts, look at his interests on Nairaland before making such mistakes.

30k, sad So sorry but well shit happens.
Re: 419 And Thief On Nairaland by purplebelt(m): 7:29pm On Dec 03, 2011
i've been dealing with cllients all d way in sokoto for over 10 yrs now, what u did was wrong, next time, dis is what you do, ask the guy to giv u a contact he knows, and trusts in lagos, u will go to the person's office, and hand the deposit ot him in cash in his place of work, both of you can then draw up a part payment agreement,

if you had done these, there would be someone to hold on to here in lagos, or better stil, if u had a contact in benin, simply tell d person to take d phone to your contact at his place of work or home, after ur contact confirms the phone is in working condition, send ur contact the money,


however, not to scold u too much, now that this has happened, wait a few days, den consider reporting the issue to the nearest effc office, then hold ur breadth

So sad that people still do stuff like that.
No wonder the image of Nigeria at home and abroad is just terrible
Re: 419 And Thief On Nairaland by initialize(m): 8:02am On Dec 04, 2011
not all online sellers are the same. if u need to buy either used phones or laptop from anywhere in Nigeria, u can trust me on dat to deliver even after recieving payment. there are pple here that can testify to that
also, if u need to buy iphones under d same condition, i'm sure TUMABABA will also do the job correctly.
sorry about you loss, I was also scammed here by someone dat bought laptops from me and after recieving d laptop he refused to pay about 67k since last year July. i av since moved on and i pray you are able to do d same
Re: 419 And Thief On Nairaland by sholasho(m): 9:29am On Dec 04, 2011
@ OP & others.
ONLY DEAL LOCALLY . Limit to people you can deal with based on trust due to their reputation they have to protect. Phemmy! I will confidently send money to his acc for any transaction if I have to.
At the poster though, I understand you fell for the cheap scam based on the trust u have since u have been dealing on NL for long. Sorry all da same.May Almighty God replenish your pocket back.
Others should please learn from this. So as to maintain the forum. I love NL and do a lot of transaction on here.
Happy Sunday.

i live in benin and i live in nigeria and as long as my money is not handed freely to me ,i will never pay for what i haven't seen even if the stuff is for free and i have to send 20 naira to call

Never buy an item that is too cheap because most times it is too good to be true.

you have spoken well.most of them advertized non-existing item just because you want to get it at cheaper rate.i read a post of someone saying he purchase a phone with a T-mobile brand but when he switched it on it says Rogers.i wish the owner of this forum would create something like way of making payment to sellers on this site and also have policy for sellers and buyers to abide with,am sure it will eliminate frauds from this site.REMAIN BLESS

But this is Nairaland not nairalist.
Re: 419 And Thief On Nairaland by online2011: 11:07am On Dec 05, 2011
my advice to fellow NL is that to avoid such occurrence of such ugly incidence is to confirm that seller has a valid office or shop and if you have a relation or trusted friend that can complete the transaction on your behalf will go a long way to prevent future "re-occurrence"

please what does your statement mean
Re: 419 And Thief On Nairaland by Suntemi(m): 9:53am On Dec 06, 2011
What I mean is 'Nairaland wasn't created because of buying and selling of stuffs. Nairaland is not ebay so I see no reason the owner should setup payment platform on the site'. If the owner is going to do a thing like that, it should be on Nairalist and not Nairaland.
