darhray: A man scammed me of a #100,000 the year 2014 while I was running a poultry farm in PH. Mehn! it was a great loss. I still cannot tell his whereabouts to date. Bros i went to eat in a booker along Eneka road, nai d bros walk in too seated in a table opposite mine. innocent me I just order my Okazi soup and Loi Loi nai d bros approach me that he is into fish pond construction that he traveled all the way to Cameroun to learn the trade and that his Pond is not the tarpaulin pond or rubber drum pond but casted one with a 3 inches block designed with a tinny rod that the pond is moveable and it can last for more than 20years. Oboy he brought out one small Samsung phone with one amateur video of Catfish in one kind funny looking pond to set me up and make me believe his story I said okay bros once we finish our food make we stroll reach my farm to know how many of the ponds you can construct for me. Gbam! as we entered my farm the guy confirm say nor be small project I get for my hand so' but he would have advised I go for the fish before my Chicks grows to maturity, that he would advise I build 4 ponds first for a start then as times goes on I can then add more... Na so we exchanged numbers and he became my "Fish Pond Engineer" after exchange of calls like 4-5 occasions nai bros tell me to ready cash that he just placed orders for my pond construction materials ooo that in 3 days time the materials will arrive from LAG. I said okay if so lemme just wire him cash to make things easy for him, my people i nor know say na one chance I don enter. Na so i started calling my Pond Engineer to know how far if my pond has arrived PH oo day one pass, day two-story upon story. em, we one go buy cement mixer cos d one we carry along is faulty. em, I still dey Lagos road. As in after two weeks with all this plenty excuses eh! I have been SCAMMED. Though it's been a while now, the picture still plays on my Head was yesterday like it. I transfer 100k to him through EcoBank the name he gave me was Joshua Awhe from Delta state 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Zakarisammy: So una dey fall for that fixed match guy. Lolllll. Thas why the guys never stops opening accounts. Back to that micheno scam So groups formed among people who were scammed and one guy who claimed to be a lawyer or something started making case for the group. Next thing na contribute 2k for movement to Ph where the fraud started. People started dropping cash. After that 1k then 5k for serious people. I just tagged along didnt drop anything till they moved to a second telegram group saying they are spies who havent paid to report back to the micheno guy on what we were doing. That's how I got kicked out of the telegram group. This guy had the guts to say he has taken the case to the national assembly to pass a bill to refund money or some crap like that. I just dey laugh as desperate investors wanted thier money back and were paying the second fraudster. I dont know how it ended but that was before election last year. He now said that new members have been made into the committee so start afresh. Lol I don free the bar since no looking back again though I would.loce to hear from anyone who continued with the group if it ended well. Micheno I hail una 3 Likes |

Some years back I was very in need of work, there's this guy that runs cyber cafe I used to do photocopy and stuff in his shop. One day as usual I went there to do photocopy and one talk led to another he asked where I worked I told him, he know the company and how poor the pay is and zero employment benefits, so he asked me if I would like to work in Julius Berger which he showed me his ID card that he's a staff there and he told me a lot of mind blowing things working in Julius Berger assures, I was wowed at hearing these goodies so my interest was instant like I wanted to start work that day. Then I just got into adulthood, the guy knew over happiness will make me do anything. So he asked me to bring my CV which I have lost, so he helped me prepare another one, his printer was bad he had to take me to another cyber cafe to finish the job, all that care has now made build trust and confidence in him. When we got back that evening the first taxing began, he said he was thirsty for beer I should buy him and I did, we went to a beer parlour close by he drank 2bottles that day, we exchanged contacts and he said he will call me and assured that I will most assuredly get the job as I was going through him. Some days later he called that the company has selected people and I was among that the selected persons will converge at the main bustop in my area that the staff bus will carry everyone to the head quarters in ijora for interview and health test that I should come out very early, it got to the date but I couldn't make it there early enough, when I got there I called him that I was there but I came a little late the bastard acted like he was disappointed and was saying things like "why didn't u come early naw, now I would have to do a lot of explaining to the man that is helping us" and then he said I should wait he's coming, and then he came some minutes later, he acted like he was confused and doesn't know what to do and then he asked if I had some cash on me and I certainly came prepared for any disappointments that may occur, he then asked me to buy ampiclox from a nearby pharmacy around that it will clear any bacteria In my body so I'll pass the test and I did as instructed, and then he asked if I had enough cash that we will go by commercial transport as we've missed the staff bus. We got to Julius Berger gate, he asked me to stay outside that the security guards can arrest me for trespassing, he went inside and then came out like half an our later and then called me in, we went in and ask me to sit down at one concrete and he went inside one office and later came out that the interview and test had been cancelled, I felt like killing him but he was my ticket home coz the cash with me will not carry me home, I told him so, we now had to wait for the evening bus conveying staffs to our location, it was hell for me that day as I fell sick as a result of the ampiclox I took that morning on empty stomach, I fell very ill that evening(did I mention he collected 2k from me before we went to ijora). To cut story short this guy played me like PS3 till he collected up to 7k before my ancestors probably slap my brain and my senses connect again and I backed out, already the guy had collected my new London used blackberry curve 7 and gave me his bb voltron or wat did they call that bb dat looked like coco yam that he needed to be in contact with the person employing staffs. Kai if I'm remembering that whole story I'll just want to use pestle and factory reset my brain one more time so I don't fall such mugu again. 14 Likes 1 Share |

Omijin: Similar thing happened to me years ago at Oshodi market when i was still young and naive. I bargained for a shoe and the seller collected money from me, only for him to give me just one shoe and when i asked for the other he said my money was not complete and i should go with the one shoe like that. I requested for my money back but he refused. I ended up paying much more than i would normally have paid just to collect the other shoe. This can never happen to me now as i don old and we go die there together 2 Likes |

If there would ever be a purge I would go and purge on my scammer and his family . It happened to me few years ago in the UK I saw a mercedes truck on gumtree I contacted the seller and book appointment to see the truck , I travelled like 300 miles then saw the truck just as it was advertised I was driven in the truck as a test drive I saw all the paper work then paid for it .I cant drive the truck cos I dont have license to drive it and alot of paper work must be on a vehicle before you can drive it . So I told them I will come with a driver in few days to pick up the vehicle . When I got there on the stated day I couldn't find the truck and the guy said to me one guy came to pick up the truck yesterday and he said I sent him and the guy presented all the paperwork of the vehicle they gave to me . The guy even turned it on me that am trying to scam him I got the police involved it happened almost 4 years ago up till now no vehicle and nothing from police . My money just disappeared . Have been buying vehicles from different dealers and always go back and pick it up never had this problem I learnt from that day that some Oyinbo are scammers . 9 Likes |

bluefilm: What actually happened is that he called us to do the supply and on getting there we discovered that he was a middle man as he asked me not to issue our invoice and that the payment will be made through him,but the desperation in the way he was pressuring that the money be paid into his account aroused our suspicion that he was not real and our fear turned out to be true as he refused to show his face at the place. 1 Like 1 Share |

Someone from binomo investment company hacked my IG account. At first, the person asked if I've heard of binomo investment and I said yes but I have no money to start so they said they will send me 40k but I will have to follow their instructions then I replied okay.. The person later asked for my Instagram login details and the code sent to my Gmail which I gave to them. In my mind I thought they needed that information to confirm that their money wouldn't be stolen that was why I gave out those vital information so as to start the investment. Few minutes later,I saw that my email, password and mobile number has been changed and now I can't access my Instagram account. Below is the Instagram page of the hacker. My original username is ossomjessieee The person changed it to ossomjeieee Please what can I do to retrieve my account?? Before now,I didn't link my Facebook with my Instagram
