This is terrible but what makes it worst is the statement by the Police that they can't Arrest the Criminal. What the hell!!!. Is this not the government that promised us Zero tolerance for corruption not to talk of stealing?. Yet the police can no longer arrest criminals as though thieves and fraudsters now have immunity in this country. |

deebest8: Well, I don't think I have a solution for you. You had the feeling that it wasn't genuine but yu went ahead anyway. That's bad! In lagos, I pay for rent in front of the proposed apartment with the agent holding the key. Hand over the key to me and I wire you your money instantly.. Meanwhile I also go with new padlocks and key so immediately you hand over the key, I change it to the new one.. Also, I always stay at least 1 month in the area I wish to rent house in before approaching any agent |

I've been in this real estate business for a while, I advice my clients to pay directly to an account provided by the property owner, don't even pay into the lawyer's account, pay into the asset owner's account. That's my take. |

[quote author=deebest8 post=57765699] Due to traffic and distance to my office, I decided to move from my previous location at Ikorudu to Orile Iganmu so that I will be closer to my office which is located around constain, While searching I saw an agent number and decide to call (09097079102), What really attracted me since I was kind of desperate was the note I saw which was ‘pay and pack’. I also got duped by this man. I pay for a room and parlour self contain 350k and he promised I will move in on Saturday after seeing the lawyer. only for me to hear the latest story. |

what I know is that I can't pay a house who's under renovation if you're not going through pay and pack method, I won't give a penny op, you too fuvked up though I won't blame u much sha we are bound to do mistake. when someone had already breached pay and pack in method u saw online or wherever u saw it and u still went ahead to pay the money despite u know is under renovation, that alone should ve given u a warning sign I hope u get the money back because is nt easy for an hustler loosing such money at dis point in time |

Dexema: The bank account n name where the money was paid in should be used in collabration with the bank by security operatives to trap such individual. Banks should be able to assist security agencies by providing details to them or freezing the account to make the person surface for questioning n probably arrest. Our law enforcement agents should be watching dstv channel 170 ( crime investigation) , and see how their mates abroad work with intelligence n dedication. 4 Likes |

The building in question is located in Coker very close to the newly commissioned Opere street. I know that building but never imagined that such monumental fraud and criminality could be perpetrated there. The number of defrauded people I saw there two days was alarming. From my discussions with some of the victims, it was a carefully planned scam by the parties involved. Some parted with 650,000, 400,000 and 300,000 respectively. |

Better send a petition to EFCC. It's under their purview because it's fraud. The police won't do anything. Normally the bank account should've be frozen by now but with police officers that didn't even finish primary school, the sum of their collective IQ is not up to 50. Especially since you said he collected close to 9million from you guys, he will settle those police like 2million then case will die. |

For those shouting Lagos, it happens everywhere. I was a victim in Enugu,we paid for a newly constructed house,the night we packed in,the Carpenter working in the house told us that the madam that owns the house has instructed him to stop work. To cut the story the man we paid to was the former landlord,and he has sold the house to the madam For the year we spent in that house the madam was always serving us court invite. Both the former and new landlord are barrister. 2 Likes |
