it is not how expensive the phone is, but how difficult it took her to buy to get the money to buy the phone. It is in Lagos I saw women carrying concrete, did you know if she did same to buy the phone?

That is not how those guys operate o. They will show her the real phone during the period of bargaining and she must have press the phone and the original phone will be working but the moment the seller tells u that he want to remove his Sim card from the phone that is when they normally change the original to the fufu phone which must been hiding inside handkerchief all along.

The woman though...
Didn't she switch on the phone?...Sorry to say, but the woman is dull, Nokia X2 for that matter.

I was once a victim. It can happen to the smarted dude here on nairaland. This is their modus operandi. The guy showed me the phone, it was fairly used. He created the impression that selling fairly used fones is illegal hence they want the deal done discretely. He showed me a good phone, I tested the phone with my SIM got confirmation of my internet setting from MTN. So I was sure, it is original I then paid N6k. For the fone. The market value for the new fone was 24k, he quickly disagreed that what he bargained with me was N20k. I got angry collected my money and my SIM and walked away, he quickly swaped the fone with the fufu prototype and came chasing after me and pleading that I should offer him N6k plus anything. And he would offer me the fone, he constantly reminded me that police don't like them around the market to create some kind of urgency, I quickly collected the fone and offer him 7k, he immediately dissappered without reconfirming the money I gave him, I actually offered him the same 6k, thinking I was smart. Then I walked away to avoid being noticed by police. When I tried putting the fone and it refused to come on, I opened the back of the fone and noticed it was packed. Full with a smelly white substance, I looked up and noticed the entire market was staring at me and laughing hysterically I felt . I never told my wife or anyone that happened to me.

You guys don't know the trick. They show you a working phone. You test it and everything seems ok. When you pay, they use sleight of hand and insert the replica phone (filled with fufu) in your bag or nylon.

Fell victim once ooh, before people start thinking I follow de do am

slyfoxxjoe:

lalasticlala:

What would you do if you bought a phone only to discover that it is full of fufu?

This is the situation a woman in Lagos encountered.
