So I have been trying to sell off my old watches which I have been advertising here and on jiji. I been able to sell two of the watches and two smartbands, and all the payments were via transfer.

This guy called me yesterday that he saw my ad on jiji and wanted to buy my Galaxy Watch 3 for his son. We bargained 100k. He said he was in the office and would call me once he's done.

After about an hour, he called that he's on his way to Lugbe shoprite in Abuja (I stay around there).

When he got to shoprite, he described he's car, and they were three guys in the car. The guy I have been talking with was sitting at the back. He said I should come inside.

The guy inspected the watch, and confirmed everything was fine. He said he has transferred my money, and then showed me his phone that he has been debited. I wasn't even concerned about the debit alert, I'm very aware of fake alert.

Based on trust, I just told him he could go with the watch while I expect my credit alert (based on network, I dont know if it will take 24hrs or more).

He told me thank you and left, and that was the end.

From there I went to get fuel, I stayed 30 minutes at the filling station, no alert. I started calling this thief and he didn't pick.

I have called him over 50 times with my both lines, but the shameless he-goat refused picking my calls, instead he switched off the phone. I realised I have been scammed, I deleted his number so I'm not tempted to call him again. The last thing I want now is distraction. If 100k makes him happy so be it.

I feel very angry because I allowed him go based on trust. I thought I was dealing with a gentle man.

Moreover this month has been very tough for me, Amazon out of the blues closed my associates account for a mistake I made in 2020, and withheld my $1400.

I now realise why the driver of the bus I took while coming back to Abuja turned to a mad man at lokoja simply because 6hrs later the transfer I did to him has not reflected on his account. He said before we continue our journey to Abuja, I must pay him his money in cash. I was forced to withdraw 20k from POS at 3k charge. He eventually saw the alert by 7pm after we arrived Abuja, and I was given back my cash.

Henceforth, I no see alert for my phone with all the marks from my bank, no deal.

Be warned, some Nigerians can be so daft. I couldn't understand why a grown ass man will be so useless.

Funny. But sorry. In 9ja we stay sharp. Even boti no gree again say him be boti.

Na man dey do man... May God replenish the loss in multiple folds.

Funny enough, while we were packed in front of shoprite, an army guy and police man stationed there looked at the car and said you guys look like bad people. The guy at the front said they are not, that they are just trying to close a deal.

That was the first sign, I could remember someone saying these force men are very spiritual and can easily detect evil when they see it. I waved it off with the taught that the force men might be looking for bribe.

There was something off about these guys. They didn't really look like people who could buy that watch. I said you don't judge people wealth by appearance.

The guy should be around 40-45, and he said he wanted to buy the watch for his son. I was wondering why get a watch for a small child. Perhaps, he married very early was my taught.

Anyways, it's past tense.

Because of the recent cash scarcity, transfer and POS is now the order of the day, so you all be very careful.

numtums:
Na man dey do man... May God replenish the loss in multiple folds.

Amen!!

'Cause' and 'effects' controls all events. In the nearest future when this man is killed by a strange sickness, accident or stray bullet we put the blame on enemies.
Life is spiritual you don't need to place a curse on someone before 'cause' and 'effects' is activated.

Quite a bad experience. The poor service is not helping. Some 5days ago, someone that I assisted transferred little money to me in appreciation. Till now, I am yet to receive the money and I cannot be disturbing the person.
But you could have tracked the guy with his number instead of just deleting it and make him to pay. Something could have been done with his line (that's if he sent you his genuine line).

You shouldn't av deleted his details, you should av pasted it here so others don't fall a victim. A rogue like dat deserves public humiliation

I don't know why some people behaves this way.
Yesterday my wife bought some groceries and made transfer only to realize the money later reversed.
Now she is on her way back to the shop to pay the man his money.

There's no harm in being good, let the bad ones change their ways.

OP, don't worry, that's some of the sh*t life sometimes throws at us

Sorry about your experience, that is why most Nigerians do not trust naija people when it comes to business.

Funny how human dupes and deliberately wronged/ hurt another humans.
Can't we just live peacefully?
Hmmmmmmmmm I pray for this type of una GRACE O.
Sorry bro. May God open pleasant doors unto you🙏

Bank transfers are pretty bad right now because of the cashless policy no doubt but you just trusting a guy you just met online with that kind of cash is so wrong. If he was one of your old customers I would said you did the right thing by trusting him but you don't know the guy from anywhere at all and that was the first time of doing business with him so what's up with that kind of sudden trust

The only only unwise person I see in this story is you..

You're talking about trust in the Nigeria of today as if you're new in this life. Read this your story to a 15yrs old and get a judgement for it. Sorry for your loss, unfortunately, you will still repeat the mistake another time BASE ON TRUST

Exactly!!!!! Not even an old customer. Som1 u just met on an app. Na wa oooo. With dat kind of money.

We shall overcome this tribulations

You left him to go out of trust?

the guy is a thief reason he didn't come alone who knows what they would done if the transaction resulted to arguments. Any way we learn everyday.

Mugu must fall for guyman to chop, a fool will always learn a lesson.

you won't be the first neither will you be the last.
imagine you even entered their car to show them the watch, if I was the man i would just zoom off collect ya watch also collect your banking details and your phone.
Thereby gaining 3 instead of one.

The truth is that I trust so easily. I didn't get alert when I sold my Watch 7. The alert came in 1hr later.

I learnt my lesson. I'm very certain I can never make this type of foolish mistake again.

Amen!!

May God replenish your loss in thousand folds.

But boss I will soo appreciate if you can introduce me to that amazon associates please

Lol a Stranger tells you to enter the back of his car for business and he is accompanied by 2 other strangers then you agreed?

You dey take risk ooh

Sorry about the money.

Op sorry for the painful experience, i myself was also scammed of my last penny so i deeply understand the agony, pain, frustration and depression that comes with getting scammed. Just take it as a very important lesson to never trust easily especially when it involves money, because that is exactly where people show their true character. I pray you recover your loss in multiple folds.

I did the same thing you did 3 days ago but mine was 90k. I told the buyer to poss for a picture which I took twice. I have not seen the alert till now and I might edit the picture to include obituary if I don't see my money.

Lol, in business, be eager to sell but don't be desperate. I am sure you learnt your lessons already, no use beating a dead horse.

It's not rocket science,

1. Find a product on Amazon with low competition.
2. Do keyword research to find answers to questions surrounding that product.
3. Create your website
4. Write seo optimized articles
5. Try creating backlinks to your posts.
6. Google will pick it up and rank them.
7. Once you have traffic, apply for Amazon associates and earn. Note Amazon are very strict, you could be banned for knowingly or unknowingly breaking any of their rules.

I'm moving away from Amazon already, its not so lucrative unless you have a very huge site.

Sorry about the money.

I didn't see it as risk. It was 3.3pm and we were right in front of shoprite with lots of people around including security officials.

So sorry

You should try to track him down

Always follow Jiji rules of transaction

Don't trust anyone
