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.

AkumTemi:
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.

I and some other nairalanders was scammed of atleast 50k each by one stupid MC Funnynation. The guy claimed he's into mini importation he promised to trade with our cash with little profit return not knowing he was actually gambling with our cash.

MC Funnynation you're still under our radar. Bloody scammer!

Omijin:
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.

Seunaj05:
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 ans that investment could have meant a fortune, 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.

On this one you spoke the truth because similar thing happened to me in onitsha 2016 at Emeka nfor complex wen i went to fix my htc screen.

What i did shall was that i carried a colleague of mine that is Ibo so he could interpret whatever they're saying make those guys nor lost me. Wen we got to ontisha they guy said for him to check my phone he was to check the phone with computer that that the cost is #10, but what he never told me was that a kilobyte is #10 so i said he should do it for the #10.

After he had finished checking the stuff, the next thing i head was ur money is 6k my head spin..!! I was like for waitn he said for the checking of the phone. Bini boy wen nor dey dull wen i be, i asked the guy that he didn't tell me that the #10 is multiplied by the total byte used because if he had told me am not a daft i wouldn't have agreed. Na so my guy they cut chain me and my guy start our own.

After all the shout and argument the guy said 6k is 6k i told him i will only give him him 1k with my mind self if e make me vex he won't get a dime. So his friends that gather now said i should drop the 1k and go sey the screen nor dey
THAT DAY I START FEAR THOSE GUYS ESPECIALLY WEN U NOR SHARP.

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.

MISSunderstand:

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.

Blackmoran:
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.
