What I can think about now is

ALL NEW MONIKERS OR DEAL HUNTERS MUST STATE THE NAME OF THEIR PICKERS ON THE ADVERTS, ANY NEW DEAL HUNTER THAT POSTS ADVERTS WITHOUT THE ATTACHMENT OF A KNOWN PICKER SHOULD BE FLAGGED and if possible, his advert reported and deleted.

And pickers should please, once in a while go through the Deal thread and see deals to know those who falsify pick ups.

If I think of more, I'll drop

Thanks to Dragnet for closing the TLC/AIN thread.

How do we curb the scams on TLC/AIN thread thats gradually becoming epidemic?

I humbly suggest that

i. Every TLC deal should have the name of picker.
ii. If you doubt the TLC deal, confirm from the picker, request that ownership be transferred from the deal hunter to you before shipping.
iii. When requesting for an AIN deal, dont ask people to message you on whatsapp, just ask them to quote you then you reach out to them.
iv. For AIN deal, if seller is not in your location and you dont really trust the seller, kindly make use of an escrow. It is better to lose 500 naira or 1k that would be charged by an escrow than to lose 100k.
v. Everyone should save as many contacts as they can so that when someone claims to be another person, you can easily detect because you have the original number saved.

Guys lets deliberate, we need opinions. cc Bobo65 Frinx Kreamie Omicpet Lionlee Daaz001 Yalhaji

Kreamie:
The listed terms are valid and I completely agree with them. The escrow have to be consistent fellows on NL in my opinion. People they should also be the ones making most of the vouchers to prevent another ‘seyith^g’ saga.


My two cents.

I will also suggest the OP (Pradit) to edit the title of the page and add all buyers must confirm from the picker before payment is made
This will always appear in all the pages.

In as much as this whole thing is painful I still believe if not tackle will not help anyone. Everyone who has contributed so far have made a valid point. The only thing I want to add is this. DEAL HUNTERS SHOULD HAVE ONLY ONE NUMBER FOR WHATSAPP AND LET THAT BE THE MAIN NUMBER YOU ARE KNOW WITH HERE ON NAIRALAND. AND IF POSSIBLE WE SHOULD POST A DIRECT LINK TO MESSAGE YOU ON WHATSAPP IN OUR SIGNATURE SONIT CAN BE EASIER THAN COPYING NUMBERS AND ALL.

1. TLC deal advert must have the name of the picker (as well as other details) stated clearly.
2. The picker must be one of the Valid ones here on NL.
Mikkyangel, Lionlee, Yalhaji, Babaisaac, Bukiemore, Daaz, Kreami, omotolsy (any other should be verified here!!!)
3. The Deal buyer must confirm from the picker to verify the deal.
... before making payments.

4. If buying AIN deal, choose to meet with the seller / inform someone to inspect for you before making payments.
5. If the item(s) you're buying has to be shipped to you, and you don't really trust the seller, then kindly use Escrow. You can use Omicpet or any other person that is really known in this TLC/AIN thread.


Any ad with any FLAGs should be reported immediately.

Peace.

Cgame:


I quite agree with your points ... They will go a long way in curbing these issues we are facing..
Escrows should be used from now on .
Infact escrow services should be posted on every page so prospective buyers can easily access it..
Thanks

twinskenny:
We that have our private picker nko?

dannybrasky:

Better still,listing the name of those who would render the escrow services,not only for the benefit of old members,but most importantly newbies.

themonk:
I think we should also discuss the recurring issues that occur when gadgets verified by pickers are faulty at the end, how should these issues be resolved and who is to bear the burden. Some Newbies would think a TLC deal has been verified by Apple themselves to be working and some deal hunter knowingly buy faulty goods and sell them as working goods.

Shouldn't pickers also be a person of interest if they verify a good to be working and it is not. I am not saying the blame should go to them, but they should be able to say this wasn't the fault of the deal hunter it is a fault that wasn't detected at pickup point then the outlined strict rules about how to share the burden should be followed by both the deal hunter and the buyer.

khalazi:

Each person that wants to sell tlc should have his own thread.
that way if anyone scams anybody, it won't affect the overall market.

The pickers did not create one thread then start posting what each of them picked etc. Each of them have their individual thread. That way if anyone goes rogue it doesn't affect others.

dannybrasky:

The motive here is doing what's possible to reduce scam to its minimum,not being selective on such purpose.
