Want to warn people against this discount deals on I.G .. got a samsung galaxy s8+ from trace communication for 170k on a so called promo deal. I don't reside in Lagos but i decided to trust him I sent someone whom is not also in Lagos at the moment...

After the discussion, I sent the money through a friend. on getting there he discovered that there was an ink on the screen which trace denied not knowing about. I told him to back out. But trace insisted that nothing was going to happen. and extended the warranty for a month. ok. I trusted him and paid him 170k the phone got to me. I checked it.. just the black spot..

But after 6days I started noticing the screen showing black and flickering. i waited for when i could get it on camera so i can show him. Which i did. he was confused.. looking for one excuse to give or another.

Prior to our deal of a refund or change. he insisted that i will take half of the cost of the screen. i agreed because half bread is better than non. i decided to send the phone down to Lagos only for him to say that lets leave it for a while...

That he paid this and paid that.. ok fine i agreed because 58k + waybill 5k =63k was not what you could just jump on. well i didn't know he just wanted the month to expire .. to cut the long story short. i got an engineer who said he has a used screen for 80k prior to 115k trace was asking for. i thought that to be a better plan.

Because of my half stake in the deal.. 40k would be beta than 64k. well i told trace communication. that was when i got the shocker . that the warranty has expired. after all the time he wasted. and i should repair my phone my self.. i am dumbfounded . because thats a 110k bill on my head for just trusting a fellow nigerian. i have been trying to follow due process, but its just painful when you trust some1 and you are deceived ..

All bcause i am down in the east. Nigeria, where you cannot trust someone with out asking for birth certificate.. area of residence etc. want to warn against this phone vendor this is my personal ordeal. yours might be different ..

But right now i have a bill of 115k on my head. phone that is not upto 5 weeks. please these promo deals are usually faulty phones. fixed and you can never know when yours will explode and the guy giving you a warranty will suddenly turn arrogant and cunning.(i have proof of everything i said here and i am ready to defend it any where).

Thank you for this info. I will never buy any discount deals again. If i don't have the money for a new one I opt out. Sorry for your loss. Paste this back to Instagram and let the world see what they are up to. He can't just go for free. Make him sweat.

Sorry for your loss

From my experience with Samsung Phones, Your screen is dead. You will have to get a new screen. Sad truth is that the cost of a new screen + your cost price of 170k = A new note 8 and some change.

Its quite sad that this happened to you. I am sure the seller had seen signs of this screen which was what made him sell the phone at that price to you.

My advice, since he said the phone comes with warranty, then go to his place with either a soldier or a policeman let him replace the phone (REPLACE THE PHONE OOOO, NOT CHANGE THE SCREEN).. Always run from fixing the phone, cos getting an original screen is very difficult. 10% chances.

Now you will spend money, maybe close to 50k for the police or soldier. But it is worth it if you are getting another phone

That might be refurbished. Get a TECNO Camon CM and save yourself from stress
