wonlasewonimi:That’s the thing, I’m not even fighting them, I’ve taken my money elsewhere and I’m happy. I just asked if I was overreacting or not and some people have been making the most ignorant comments I’ve ever seen while some have been speaking critically which is good. Anyway, it’s a public forum so what I see is what I get. 4 Likes |

Amarathripple0: We can rest now. Curry’s sold to you Despite/Inspite of being Black, & African. Great! Turns out John Lewis did not refuse to sell due to your black ness and African ness. Yes? Not everything is about race. Meanwhile, Any Buy Now Pay Later is actually a ‘credit issue’. 1 Like 1 Share |

BorisJohnson:You have continued to dilly dally around my post by picking only my mention of race and speaking on my credit history from a previous conversation where your ego was clearly bruised. You even went as far as liking a post I made in 2021 only to come back here to make loose statements. The discussion has been mature and without insults so PLEASE AVOID ME!

Amarathripple0: No 2 happens more often than you think. Some years ago I went to Ba Heathrow desk so not even online. And was paying for some tickets. Despite I put my pin the payment was declined..... I called the bank after been on hold for almost one hour and the hold was release and I was able to pay for the tickets Highly inconvenient to me (especially the parking fees i paid that day, I was furious) but the amount of fraud that happens daily , I can understand that they are doing their job . Few years ago I shared here how someone fraudulently used my card. The person had a swell time,one week of spending spending until all the money finished before he or she rested. I was given my money back but someone paid the price for it . The bank. Shebi I am glad I am in the UK, if this was naija would I have gotten my money back in full ?.. I doubt that This is why when I read your first post, I can see how inconvenient it can be and I sympathise but they are only doing their job . I could easily have said the bank declined my card because I was profiled as it was four business class ticket to nigeria so maybe it because I am black or white or it because the destination was an African county . Although really the bank didn't know the details of the booking just the amount....but you can always draw logic when you are upset or inconvenienced.... however when I remember how someone swiped my card unchecked for a whole week some years ago. I just calmed down , let them do their hold or check or whatever and paid the expensive Heathrow parking and went on my way. 4 Likes |

Yep. Buy now pay later is a form of credit. In actual fact, it is #credit. On the JL, PayPal in 3 and OP, the credit is with the later 2. JL ain't part of the credit. I've penned a detailed in the last page. https://www.nairaland.com/6719932/living-uk-life-immigrant-part-2/365#111717065 Sure, we all have learnt one or two on this wonderful discourse. And it's been insightfully enlightening. BorisJohnson: |

I agree, If you have been a victim of fraudsters, you will understand the importance of proper checks. My bank will not even release large sum of money outside norm until they have called me to confirm. Pending the confirmation, all other transactions will be blocked. LagosismyHome: 2 Likes |

So how is Canada different from UK if I may ask? In addition, based on legitimate interest, GDPR allows personal data to be processed for fraud prevention, how much more personal data you intentionally put on a social media site. Ray7878: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by TheGuyFromHR: 10:08am On Apr 07, 2022 |
LagosismyHome: Not to start a whole new line of discussion, but they do (or did) sometimes profile such destinations, especially Nigeria. Is it racism? Not really - if you had been going to Kenya, Mauritius or SA for instance, which are not tagged countries were fraud is prevalent and are able to be included in the international financial ecosystem and have full PayPal accounts for instance - most likely that block wouldn't have been placed. |

LagosismyHome:Damn! I’m sorry that happened to you. I guess we learn everyday. How did they get access to your card details, if I might ask. Working in customer service for a bank here has just made me realise how crazy fraud is here in the UK. 2 Likes |

TheGuyFromHR: For me even if they do that is ok as well ..... if that would help keep my money safe then fine It like the issue of stop and search... a lot of the stabbings in London is black on black. So I support the stop and search even if it you are stopping more of black people, after all based on the data the death is higher in our community. However because of how inconvenience if you are stopped and political correctness , people are shouting don't do stop and search , it is racial profiling but aren't we higher in the stabbing department..... Ok now no stop and search then young boys are roaming the streets with knifes and stabbing continues . You can't always cut your cake and eat it . 2 Likes |

LagosismyHome: Another matter don come. This is racial profiling and I have a huge problem with that. Are you saying that crime is higher among black people than others? The Met's own stats showed that black people were stopped more of the time than their share of the population, while the people actually found to be carrying knives most of the time on being stopped were[i] not[/i] black. I will find that report, it was published last year. |

TheGuyFromHR: I don't know of other cities as I am a londoner so I follow mainly london news . In 2017 two thirds of knife crime offenders under 25 in London were black or minority ethnic, according to the Mayor of London’s Office for Policing and Crime. Two third abeg is high enough for my ears. Please I am happy to be stopped and delayed to where I am going , if it helps catch and stop someone with a knife . It very heart breaking to be a parent of a child who died due to stabbing. 1 Like |

LagosismyHome: Most of those reports are not adjusted for socio-economic factors. Simplistically, the violent crime rates are higher in deprived areas (nationwide, not only in London), and unfortunately 70% of persons in income poverty in London are ethnic minorities. It's the same in Manchester or up north where all the Bangladeshis and Pakistanis are in places like Bradford. |

Amarathripple0: Thanks oo!. May we never lose this our hard earned pennies that we have gathered small small ,lol. Money not easy to find at all . Glad to hear you sorted the ordering of the laptop. Nice one I am not sure but I saw a travel agency online and called to buy a ticket to naija some months in advance...... One the day I went to naija was when the person went shopping so I feel it must be from that travel agency because I don't remember giving my detail to anyone else. I probably wasn't paying full attention and was maybe asked more details than necessary when I was buying that ticket over the phone and why was it not done immediately (the fraud), why was it done when I was not in the country I later received some invoices of the purchases to my home address and it had the buyer Amin Khan but my name on the bill to . Probably a fake name too and the travel agent had a slight Indian accent hence why I drew the link but I am not sure for a fact |
