Years ago, I was scammed by one fake guy that claimed to sell data here on Nairaland..... Sent him money and the guy Blocked me... It was funny tho! Another one I Experienced was a kind a Karma.. While in my University days, I had a friend who loved one lady. Back then I was known as Chics Man and It was through me he could meet the girl. I ate my friend's cash in the Name of the lady. My friend later got to know and other guys laughed at him.. After university, A lady did Exactly the same thing to me.. I wanted to flare up but I remembered wat I did to my Friend back in school.. I knew karma had hit me.. I kuku carry my cross and Moved on.. Today Having JESUS CHRIST has Totally Turned my life Around.. I Look back at those days and I say Thank you LORD for the What I am Today.. 345 Likes 14 Shares |

My experience is really unbelievable. I was actually a victim of scam. I met that particular guy at my place of work(hotel, he actually told me he had a problem with his ATM Card and that I should pls. Let him transfer to my account in which i declined. My roomie saw me talking to the guy and asked about our discussion and i detailed the info to him. Later, the next morning the guy (claiming he is coming back from the ATM) approach my roomie and he eventually gave him my account and my ATM Card(he has issues with his bank account). The guy transferred 150k and 20k to my acct. And withdrew 150k. He went away with my atm card and was nowhere to be fnund. 3days later, my acct was restricted and i was asked to refund the 150k. 94 Likes 11 Shares |

Funny scam when I was still a child. Mine happened a long time ago. However, I still remember it crystal clear cuz it taught me some deep lessons. I schooled in a religious school, back then in Sokoto, Mamman Barkeji Nursery and Primary School. In my Primary 3, I got first position for the first time and became the class prefect. Normally, girls started coming closer to me. I also reciprocated their kind gesture. There was this beautiful girl who came second that term. She was taller then most of us, had a pointed nose, and a very wonderful smile. I think her name was like Henuwell. Naturally, I liked her. After school one day, a friend of mine, Musa, came to me and told me that she liked me and that she wanted to be my friend and would need some money. Mind you, I was about 7 years old then oh. Happily, I have him the little I has on me, about 10 kobo (not too sure about this since was around 6 or 7 then.). The next day, during the morning assembly, he told me that she was very grateful and that she loved me for that. My head began to swell. He asked whether I had some more money for her that it would make her love me the more. Unfortunately, I didn't have any with me, but I promised him that I would get it for him the next day. My people, that was how I started stealing the small change from our children's purse that was kept in my parent's room. I stole the N 25 that was there and gave it to the boy. Everyday, I got one new love story or another from the girl about how she was thinking of me, how she loved me better than any other boy, etc through Musa. On one Monday morning, nemesis decided to pursue and catch up with me. I went into the Children's purse and lo and behold, only N 500 note was left there. Without thinking twice, I took the money and kept it in my bag. When it was time for us to go, my dad told us to enter his vehicle so that he could pick up our neighbours and drop us all at school. I really don't know what happened, but when he came out of the room, he came out with an empty bag of Children's money and began to ask for the thief. All of us initially denied it. Then my mom joined him and began to beg us to open up. By that time, I was already shaking. That was how I confessed and got serious beatings from both my parents. I cried and cried and cried. It was really painful. After some time, my parents stopped and bundled me inside the car. As soon as we got to school, they told the Headmaster and I went for the morning assembly. The first thing that Musa asked when he saw me was whether I came with the money. At that point, the pain I was feeling was more than my love for Henuwell and I told him to leave me alone. As soon as the assembly was dismissed, my class teacher called me to kneel down under the tree for stealing from my parents. I then told him that it was because of Musa and Henuwell. When both of them came, Musa couldn't look at me. As the man was about to punish both of them, the girl shouted that she didn't know anything about it. That was when Musa confessed that he didn't even talk to the girl and that he was using the money I gave him for himself. You need extra beatings I received that morning. Musa was called a criminal, was terribly beaten and got seriously punished throughout the whole day. They even asked reported him to his parents. To crown it all, about a week later, I learnt that Henuwell actually really loved me and wanted to be my good friend. The next term, I left that school. That was how I was scammed. This stuff happened about 16 years ago, but funny enough, as I was typing this, I could still visualise Henuwell's face. Edit: For those asking about the 10 kobo I gave Musa, like I said initially, I don't exactly remember the actual value, but I know it was the change I had on me which was a coin. Also, N 500 note was in existence as at 2003/2004 271 Likes 24 Shares |

Hahaha!!! Boy do I have a story?? Some guy made a post seeking financial assistance,I responded but dude turned out to be a fraud. Someone somehow erroneously fingered me as an accomplice. Shit escalated quickly and got outta control. I had to go to the bank to print out my statement and post online, some people came out to vouch for me, some couldn't stop throwing stones. It was a harrowing experience. That won't stop me from helping anyone though, as long as I have something to spare. 45 Likes |

I had 3.5M worth of Bitcoins which was my life savings when I was doing my Masters in 2016. I made a panick sale to a scammer who immediately blocked me on whatsapp after I sent coins. Sadly, Bitcoins price surge massively after that incident. That investment could have meant a fortune, and it felt like the world was going to end. To God be the glory, I bounced back, and today I have made a 100 folds of that loss buying and selling Bitcoins. 100 Likes 5 Shares |

My story was the day I got a 'scam welcome to Lagos Nigeria'. I just entered the country form abroad and I was forming yankee, so I decided to change my 500usd to get cab and buy some stuff for my family and colleagues... to cut the story short, I went to those burudechange shops at the arrival side inside Lagos airport they sha confused me with the rates and I went for the women with cheaper rates.! She gave me couple of bundles of 1k notes. And I just put them in my bag I didn't count them, I got a cab and zoomed off. When I got home Omo most of the bundles were shot of about 5 - 10k each. I felt like crying. The Uba app showed me showed me 3k to Lekki, we spent hours in traffic and bad roads, I ended up paying 8k.. I instantly felt let leaving the country, took me several months to forget the dramatic day. During the lockdown, here's a little gig for you if you don't mind making 1k per signup you get.

I went to onitsha market (Emeka Ofor) to fix my laptop's screen, the guy I met said he wasn't having the screen at that moment and asked if I could wait. I was on my way to Enugu and there was no way I could wait, so we agreed he should buy the laptop. We agreed on 30k, a laptop I bought for 104k that only had inks on the screen and all i intended was to buy a new screen for it. Like the 30K price wasn't bad enough, I agreed only for him to tell me he was going to scan some internal faults of the system and he said he was going to charge 10 naira or so per unit (I can't remember the exact things he said because it's been like 2 years it happened). I didn't see the 10 naira as issue, after he was done scanning my PC, he told me the total charge for the scanning was 19k. I don't know how he did it, but he showed me everything on his screen. I couldn't argue with him because there were plenty scary looking guys around and that was my first time there. This guy sha paid me 11k for my brand new HP15 that only had little black inks on its screen. My first time in the East taught me a great lesson. (No tribal pun intended) 129 Likes 6 Shares |
