I am not one to patronise online businesses because of the tendencies of abuse by some Nigerians who like to take others for a ride.

I saw a Nairaland Ad by Club Konnect selling bulk data. I normally would never have even attempted patronising an online set up like this but seeing that they seem unflagged yet by the Nairaland community as fraudulent, I decided to test them in a small way. I proceeded to buy N2000 worth of data. I transferred funds to their account. Klub Connect says that I will be credited upon confirmation of my payment.

For 2 days, my account was not credited, neither were they taking calls.

After 2 days of repeated calls including 40 missed calls at a stretch, a rude girl takes the call and chats some gibberish. They "credit" the online account for me on the website with N2000 with which I "purchased" the data (still on their website). It is 4 days now. No data and you cannot get anyone on the phones.

In any case I gave them 40 missed calls after which they picked and said they will do it. I called Etisalat who confirmed that even if data is shared to me from them and I get an sms from etisalat saying so, they could do it a day before expiry of their plan thereby nullifying all their share. Second thing I'm informed by etisalat is that they can share data, and delete your number afterwards thereby making the share zero. Same game can be played over hundreds of users.

I never lose though, I got God.

i'm not part of deir click but jst wanna interfere......log in to ur klubconnect account wit ur phone and ur password,at d top of ur page u will see a link"buy data bundle" click it nd fill d given blank spaces,den u proceed.....ur account will be credited shortly after dat....

Bro, I said after 4 days! That is what I did.

Anyway, I just got credited the 2Gb now. I'm not going that route again. Seems my Nairaland vex woke them up.

Guys these club konnect guys did similar thing to me last month,they credited me and later selected my number,I called etisalat and I was told that no data was credited to my account ,in fact they didn't credit me initially until after like 4days of persistent disturbance because their office in Ibadan is opposite my former branch.as for the lady call receiver,she is a naught to a fault.just believe God will touch their heart for our credit.rubbish konnect.

What do you mean selected your number? Etisalat said that they likely delete numbers afterwards so in effect... you have zero data. These guys will be early candidates under Buhari's Anti-Corruption fight.

Well, I have bought from them too. But was credited same day after two or more calls. Is that biz a fraud or is it that the management isn't handling bizness well enough?

Good morning all. Club Konnect isn't a fraud actually. I have been buying data from them since the beginning of the year. Their main problem is that they lack good customer-care helpline. If you deposit money into their bank account, it could take eternity to get your wallet credited. I avoid this by depositing via the use of airtime/recharge card. Of course there is a charge---N100.
-And of course i've had one or two issues with them at some point in time.
-My advice: if you have a more reliable source for your data, migrate. if you do not, you just have to be patient with them.

What issues did you have with them?

Issues such as delayed data transfer; or partial transfer. Leme give you an instance. I needed to buy 2Gig the other day, but I got just 1G. Took them some 3 to 4 days, and several calls from my end before I was able to get the balance of 1G. Meanwhile my account showed completed transaction. You see?

They are clearly one company to avoid! All the best to them though.

Bought data from them yesterday.its been 24 hours and haven't received anything.Their phone is switched off.just to think I was about to stake my reputation with my family and friends by creating a website with them.hopefully they eventually credit my account.after that will see.

Please if anyone knows any other data company that is genuine kindly share

They are trying but still need to improve

I had similar experience with them, but I got the data after much stress and several days and wasted credit calling them. From what they are doing now, it's gradually becoming a scam, I don't advise any one to use them

Klub connect is a serious scam..... A daylight robbery and nairaland is helping them by running ads for them.... They are busy leading people astray....

Eeiya sorry

Pls be sure of ur claims so that you will not spoil someone bussiness. I am their regular customer and i can testify that the are not what you painted them to be. It might be because of network issue. Next time try to be patient and dont quick to say they are fraudulent people. Thanks

I fell to the same group only 3 days ago. Saw their advert on Nairaland and went for it. Opened an account, made deposit into my wallet and till date my wallet has not been credited.
Called numerous times only to be pushed around. It is either they will not pick, will not reply your whatsapp message or just play dumb.
They will not give me data, will not give me airtime credits and will not credit the wallet with the said sum.
Yes N1700 can be deemed small, but imagine receiving such from 1000 Nigerians[/color] [color=#990000]

RULE 9: Don't use Nairaland for illegal acts, e.g SCAMMING, copyright infringment, hacking, gay meetings, and incitement.

I wonder why Nairaland will permit Club Konnect to advertise on their portal?
NAIRALAND, some of us trust you. Please please and please check these people you permit to advertise on your portal oooo.....

If Club Konnect says i am lying, i will present proof of bank transfers to their Gtb account

Its time we rise up as a people and do something about these groups ripping Nigerians off their hard earned sweat.
NAIRALAND if you didnt advertise them i will not be shouting tif! tif!! TIF!!!
Help save unsuspecting and hard working Nigerians like me o........

Maybe you did not read through the thread or you are a beneficiary of the fraud that they are becoming. I despise this nonsensical approach to treating frauds through the blackmail that you attempt. Whose business is being spoilt? So is it ok to have them spoil another business while theirs is protected by folks like you? I called them 40 times! What da hell are you talking about? Or is it that you did not read the post or you're doing PR as their in-house Nairaland CIA?

**Suspect alert**

They should at least defend all these allegations

Thank God I checked here before subscribing!! Thanks peeps

thank God I wasn't too fast to subscribe to them

clubkonnect is nt a fraud. they r legit. the truth is that at times u get d data & within like 2mins, it disappear & each time i had such issue, i used to notify them & they always respond. God willing, I will visit their office tomorrow & lodge u guys complaints.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with clubkonnect but just aired my experience with their service.

I opened a thread some time ago about this, when they collected my #500 without giving me any data till now and my thread got hidden. One girl even defended them to my astonishment, I had to rest my case.

Who is hiding my post? Someone on this thread wrote "at times u get d data & within like 2mins it disappear". Does that sound like clean business?

Why hide a post without due diligence?
