As a genuine seller, i would not be putting up a picture of myself holding a placard saying 'I am not a scammer'.

He named himself 'Selfpaiid'. Nobody found it odd that there was an extra 'i'??
It's because he already has an abandoned moniker 'Selfpaid' and has probably used it to scam people too.
Did no one here ask for a picture of what they were buying? No delivery fee?
Abi after paying 2k for the decoder, he will use 1k from it to pay the bus driver or the courier?

Let's stop making it easy for people to scam us.

Trust me, nobody can confirm if you're a legit seller or not. Not until you return the good they paid for. Your idea you are a legit seller is OYO. On your Own. It's akin to one hyping himself all by himself. If na me you form say you no dey show image I request for, good for me you no wan sell market. I even think say person wey wan sell market will go extra mile to convince a customer he/she is real, especially in such a platform filled with scams. You're not even serious. If na me I don jump you pass and onto the next dealer.

About uploading the item to be purchased, one who has a shop full of those items can still indulge in scam. Nothing dey to snap the item send, collect money block the person and onto the next scam victim with those images of the item too. While he goes to get another line, after all MTN sim is for free.

This is the wicked man account details.. His Name is Sunny Oyenka.

Ok. It looks similar to the wallet accounts most scammers here use. I've taken note of it

Sweetness4:


I'm really sorry about this 23k is not small money. Scammers ehn.

That's how we see it. That's why Credible businesses keeps getting attacked on the forum

Trust me I would have sent the guy 5k if not that the moniker ticked me off. Sound like names jokers would ascribe themselves to want to feel among

Lori 2k, haba aunty!

I know right. It is well.

YungCaptain:
He is still with my 2500.
Hmmmm

Wow
How do you guys fall for this cheap scam

YungCaptain:
He is still with my 2500.
Hmmmm

Wow for real?? I'm sorry about this.

Sweetness4:


Someone on nairaland has already offered to give me a decoder tomorrow.
I will go get it at mushin tomorrow.
I'm really grateful and i appreciate you. Thank you.
My faith in humanity is restored.

Alright. God bless the donor

flyingpig:
I heard his account number is a "phone number account ". Someone on finance field told me, he also said it doesn't require BVN. So it may be a shady account created with shady details and originally intended for scam purposes.

For example his bank account name is "sunny oyenka ", but running his phone number on true caller revealed "rinmang dalokom".

See? No one knows his real name or his real picture. See this option, before sending anyone on nairaland money, tell them to instantly write "I am not a scammer" on a whitepaper and snap a selfie and upload to you. That way we can at least know his real face and upload it on internet for posterity sake if he scams. At least he can't meet an anybody and request such person to hold the image and be captured with a camera. Anybody will feel untoward upholding a paper saying "i am not a scammer".

My opinion and if you agree, upload it on business section where sales are made.

It's all those wallet accounts that one can open without BVN or valid ID card. Those accounts that look like GSM numbers without the first 0, one needs to be very careful when sending money to such numbers. That's what most scammers are using these days.

Saheed69:


Alright. God bless the donor

Amen sir.

Sweetness4:


Wow for real?? I'm sorry about this.

thanks..But it's nothing..God go shame him soon

OP, apologies for what happened to you.

I also do like the fact that people have pledged to help the victim get a new gotv. However I can't help but wonder if the victim being a female, single (presumably from her writeup) influenced their decision to help her. If this victim had a dick instead of a vagina, I'm almost certain nobody would've (offered to) helped him this way. one doesn't even need to leave this thread to see I'm most likely correct as two monickers have said they fell victim to this same thing by selfpaiid and one doesn't have a gender tag on the monicker while the other has a male tag. guess what? no one has offered to help them.

Let me reiterate that I'm glad she got the help she probably wasn't hoping for and this is just me giving a thought triggered in my head not a criticism of those who offered to help

i wonder why some people derive pleasure in stealing from other people's sweat.
when they start facing serious problems in life,they will say that their village people is after them.

Qwaps:



I got scammed of 23k on this stick forum reported to the mods nothing was done. I tracked him to his address thinking it was his factory to have him jailed. As I saw his kids and wife. I weaked.

Lets be more tact sending money to people online

So what happened after you saw his wife and kids? did you proceed with what you set out to do or you pitifully left them hereby enabling them indirectly to scam another victim?

Saheed69:


Alright. God bless the donor

I'm in need here sir,just if I could get 1k it will go a long way.

What do I do. Kids. I just booked somewhere overnight and returned. I'll publish his company names etc here soon as he had many handles so people can beware. I spoke to Dominique and thought she'll do something besides telling me sorry. He used his address so I thought it was an office. I was there to have him nailed. You needed to have seen the shock and concern on the wife's face

Sweetness4:
I asked him to refund my money he said why am i disturbing him.. I told him i want to use it.. He said why am i disturbing him.. Why are people like this?? No more trust worthy people again??

Nawa o, sorry abt ur loss

Keep wondering. Happy wondering. Continue wondering. Smh

Becareful as you go to Mushin oo... That's if you have not gone already.

This may still be the seller inviting you or something.

Please send a guy or go with a guy. The donor may still be real but please apply every caution. Times are bad.

I have seen where someone who went to get help after loosing something, lost his life in the process.

I'm sorry to say this, but you are enabling this scammer. It is only right that once you got this much inofrmation abiut him you make it available to as many people as possible to prevent this thief from stealing from other people.

Please post his company names and phone numbers at least. I can understand your reluctance to dox him because of his kids but a thief caugjt by the police will still have his information in the general public for others to know he is a thief.

Sweetness4:



I've done that already today.

Did the bank show any indication of acting on your complaint?

I have promised myself, I won't do any business with a nairalander cause there are many scammers in here and d moderators aren't helping matters at all.

No not yet.

MrReeseG:

Always remember to use escrow services for goods which you aren't readily available to go and confirm.

We have lots of people (credible people) on nairaland willing to stand as escrow for such deals... *DO NOT* send money - no matter how little - to anyone on the basis of trust (na only yourself you know)....

If him no gree escrow leave am, no deal is as good as losing your hard earned money.



My 2 pence.

Very true.

I tried setting my company up as an escrow service a few years back. Especially as I also run a delivery service in Lagos, it seemed like an excellent option.

I recieve the goods from the seller, I hold on the payment from the buyer and I deliver to the buyer once everything is confirmed before fowarding the payment to the seller.

I gave up as people didn't seem interested in it. Maybe I'll try again.

I'd like to think she got the "special attention" because she created the thread and exposed the scammer.
Most people would rather not create such thread and alert people to avoid being shamed because of "just 2k", so kudos to her for speaking up.
She deserves any help she gets.

I didn't think of this too... Now I'm scared. Thank you.

Whoever you are going to meet, let it be in an open place and please go with a guy or a macho lady.

Maam please, you sound genuinely like a nice person and I pray to God to help you in this animal nation called Nigeria. Even your most trusted family member can stab you to take over your worldly possession. People are so mean and wicked these days.

Whatever you do, "Loose Faith in Humanity" and protect your life. That your notion of not loosing faith in humanity has cost a lot of people their lives.

Bad people don't like it when you are woke. They prefer you remain stupid and weak so they can exploit you so easily.

Regarding the GOTV transaction, go with a guy or people and let the transaction be in an open place where there is cctv. At the worst, tell the donor to use all these dispatch riders like kwik delivery. There is even a mechanic here called Gazzuzz that has an outpost in Mushin.

Tell the kind hearted donor you will pay for the dispatch rider... Las Las 1,000 or 1,500.

I believe the donor is reading this. If he is a good man, he will hasten up and follow the safety procedures and help to maintain his image. If he is a bad man, watch as he backs down from the deal after reading this and give a silly excuse. Never mind if he does that. He had ulterior motive all these while and never intended helping.
