Walahi it shall not be well with all Nigerian Policemen!!!

If thief rob u, u can report to someone, if someone defraud u u can report to someone, if police rob u, who u want report to?

Reporting means u are enlarging the money they will chop from you.

I dont know whether police is a business organization that is out for profit

I participated in a hyip Bitcoin bot investment. The rubbish got to withdrawal part and I didn't see money in my account. When I contacted the Admin he told me point and plain that it's all a scam! I nearly run mad.

I knew about HYIP as far back as 2012. I lost money to websites such as yatchwealthclub, avo.com finelix. one guy invested $1000 that time.

Like a week later he called me, n talk me he was an offshore worker that he has been in the rig ever since, I said ok, I apologise for the last message I sent him and begged him to send my money back, he said he will send it that even, till today I nor see one naira, I even called him back the number was off.

I WAS SCAMMED AS A NYSC MEMBER IN COMPUTER VILLAGE, LAGOS:

I went there to buy a phone, been a corp member posted to Lagos state from northern part of the country.

I left my office at Apapa for computer village on Friday, I have intention of to observe JUMAAT CONGREGATION prayer at Ikeja after getting the phone.

Unfortunately, that day, I first stroll around before settled a particular SHOW glass seller. As I pointer my finger towards a particular phone and we begin to negotiate, as the seller insisted on #3,500 for a small NOKIA phone (tokunbo).

A guy appeared and just talk to me in a silent voice that he have same thing just for #1,500. I immediately became interested and he showed me but warned me to followed him to not far place around the area.

We both agreed on #1,500 but told me to be careful with police. He asked me to go to the PHONE CALLER nearby and make call to confirm the authenticity. After making the call, I heard him and same thing from him.

The unfortunate incident happened before I could paid the phone caller and came back to meet him. He had changed the original phone to toy.

Immediately I returned he asked me pocket the phone to avoid police seen us and I complied. I paid and left.

Not to 200metres away i decided to check a new phone I got, I tried to power it ON and my finger deep inside, I pressed another button and same thing. I check the back for battery, behold! It is deep cycle, TOY PHONE package with carton.

I quickly turned to check if I could see someone that resemble him, A GHOST am looking for.

I JEJELY, walked to the mosque, performed ablusion and observed salat.

The following week on Wednesday, colleagues asked why I cannot be reached on weekend, I told them I bought latest phone and showed them, they laughed and mocked me.

Thank God to madam Cynthia whom we are serving in the same company that gave me another phone to use.

Since then, till date, I don't believe in promo or whatever and I believer that YES, SCAMMERS EXIST.

This story happened sometimes in 2007 NYSC year at Lagos.

I still love Lagos anyway.

.....

This was around 2012, I meet this girl on Facebook she introduced her self as happiness. Seeing her profile picture this babe was quite beautiful if I was to rate her with her picture I will give her a eight out of ten.... In the space of three month we became so intimate online, to cut the story short we decided to meet, I stay in Lagos while she is from Enugu.. She travelled all the way to Lagos for us to meet... The night before the day she was to arrive I couldn't sleep her face was all that was in my mind.. The next morning she called that she has just drop at the park, I quickly rush took a taxi heading to the park.. I called her trying to know where she was and what was the colour of her dress so I can locate her, thank God I saw her first without she seeing me, I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me, she look so different from what I imagined, she was a ugly fat hippo. If me and her were to stand side by side we would look like number 10... I just have to switch off my phone and went back home...God forgive me. Later I found out that pics she use was her in secondary school.
.

wetin u do is terrible o, at least welcome her,what if something bad happens to her that night?

about 8 years ago.
my younger brother called me that he has got a scolarship to study in the UK but they asked him to pay 150,000.
i immediately told him it was a scam but my father said I was wrong and if i didnt want to support my brother, i should not discourage him,
they later sent me a website of one watford university and some international phone number , immediately i opened the link, i further confirmed it was fake because the quality of the website was very poor. and it says .com instead of ac.uk for UK schools.
I warned them but they disagreed , my father said the number is a UK landline ,

i did the final test by calling the number , immediately a lady picked and she was talking like a market woman , I laughed , I tried the second number anonymously and a guy picked , i just asked him " Guy how far? how far nah? and his response was Kele Kelechi , where you dey?

I told my father but they still did not listen to me.
like those people jazzed them.


6 months later my younger brother told me they had paid the 150k and the boys later requested for 200k because he was going for a Degree and not Diploma and they even paid another 70k
they decided to hide everything from me.

my father later called me to help them retrieve the money , I asked them to visit police station , they were unable to get anything.


the criminal was using ATM to remove the money at WUZE PLAZA

i asked my father, why they paid international school fee small small into a nigerian bank account and they were just looking at me.

just imagine!

MISSunderstand:
I went to onitsha market 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 bad price wasn't 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)

See Bleep up o, my guy every portion and plaza that place have management and security men, if only you asked question and reported to the right people, those fools would paid u double + your lapi.chai you for hammer, all these ajebutter self.

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 friends in the Name of the lady.

My friend later got to known 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 zombies 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..

Was this the same person who scammed you selling fake Data allowance?

I have always wondered what power this person has on Nairaland. Once, one complains about him. One's post will instantly get deleted and be placed on ban. I don't know if he is a mod on Nairaland?!
He keeps changing his scam format.

I was almost scammed by someone with 09031642415 who ordered 3,000 litres of diesel for a total sum of 645,000 to be supplied to one BKM construction Lekki,he requested for our company account details which was sent to him,he kept calling to know whether we were on our way to supply him,on getting there,we met the person he claimed was his boy,after discharging it was time to pay,he called me that the money should be transferred to his account. I initially accepted but had a change of mind that he should come so we go to the bank and conclude the transaction,he declined claiming to be busy and insisting that the money be transferred to him and for him to transfer to me,when I insisted he started using abusive language on me over the phone. To cut the long story short,we got the transfer done to our account though the people didn't pay us all the money as agreed with the fellow that called using the phone number written above. We are thankful to God that we got 80℅ of our money.

Please help save his contact as fraudster.

Lol.

I saw one man dressed in a local guard outfit, it just didn't occur to me to discuss it with him.
I have never been to any crowded place like that before, I was more interested in living the gathering of those scary men than arguing with them.

Virtually all data sellers on nairaland are scammers... Don't quote me and say what you don't know..

I will be the last person to be scammed

Forget that thing, what you don't know is that closest people are the ones that will scam you like your wife or children. Do You know how many children or students have scammed their parents. A lot of people have been scammed without knowing. Only few scam cast. A lot of scam go undetected. You can only avoid scam if only you don't associate humans. Those people you trust must.like is my best friend, his my brother or sister in the Lord, is my pastor.

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.

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.

Musa must have grown into a successful Nigerian politician. I'm sure he didn't end up as a "gateman".....not this Musa.
