Crime / Re: Beware Of This Guy (scam) by Thegodfather: 6:54am On Nov 21, 2016
Good morning to you all, I am very grateful for the very important information that members share here, it has really being beneficial to many of us at least I am a living testimony. sincerely if not for you all, I would have fallen prey to this cheap fraud.
Mine happen this way, I got a hi message from a profile with a white lady's picture on Palmchat with the name Bella Davis, I reluctantly responded to the chat because I suspected it was a Nigerian using that pix to gain attention, gradually will continued chatting for like a month or two. she told me that she is from Birmingham UK, and that she is a single mother and a young widow. she also told me that since her husband of two years died that she took over his business.
On 17th November 2016, she told me as we were chatting that she is no longer enjoying our chat it's becoming boring and I asked why, she replied by asking me if I do not have an iPhone or notebook so that we can be having a video call later in the evening when she is back from work, and that if I do not have I should let her know so that she could send me one, I said if she can do that I will appreciate it because I do not have it, she said which do I want and I replied an iPhone and she requested that I send in y address which I did, she requested for my age and some other details which I gave her,. I then asked her to use DHL service to send it but she replied that those ones are not reliable, I said OK use any service you deem reliable and I added that if she sends it that she should let me know to that I can expect it but to my utmost surprise she said I will see if I can send it today I said OK and left.
later in the evening she sent me a message telling me how hectic her day was and that she just returning from the airport, I said OK she went on to say that she has sent me some items, she sent me some pictures,an iPhone, MacBook Pro, a box I can explain what was inside, and a receipt that has my phone name and name on it with a paid stamp. I asked her what is inside the box she didn't reply but only said that there is a wallet inside the parcel that contains some bucks, well I thanked her, she said the flight will take off at 23.30 pm and will arrive Africa after 7-8 hours.
the next morning I got a text message from same despatch manager's number that was on same receipt telling me that my parcel has arrived Abuja and that I should call despatch manager on the number below for delivery. I called the number the idiot sound like he is a customer care representative, he asked me if I was expecting a parcel I said yes, he asked from where and who, I responded, he asked if I have the receipt to the parcel I said the sender sent the pix to me and he asked me for a number on the receipt which gave him, he went on to say that my parcel is ready for pick up and that I should come to Abuja with the sum of #15,500 but if I can not come I will have to pay the sum of #20,500 additional cost is for transportation to Owerri where I stay, I said OK but how would I pay that, he said he can send me a despatch manager's account number so that I will have to pay through it I said OK send it, he the asked me which of the banks will be convenient for me, he mentioned Firstbank and GTBank, I said Firstbank he now said that many customers has earlier come of difficulties they are facing with Firstbank that morning, that should use GTBank for the transaction and I agreed and after some time he sent me the account number and I pretended not to have seen it.,he then called to inform me that the flight to Owerri scheduled for 11.30am is about taking off and they did not see my message that the next flight will leave at 2pm that I should try and send it. I then asked him how long do I have, he send I only have that day that if I do not pay that day that each day will attract a demurrage of #1000 and I said OK. so next thing I did was to go to google to inputted British airways world cargo and behold I was link here to see other people's experiences. so later the idiot came online and asked me if I have received the parcel and I replied no, she said OK you would do that tomorrow and then told her tat they were asking me for money, she kept quiet for a while and later said is it the LDC thus local despatch charge they were talking about? I said I don't know, and I asked her if she knew about it, she said they said something like that at the airport and then asked her why she didn't tell me, but that the receipt reads that everything has been paid for. well to cut the story short I made her knew that I have found out the she is a fraudster and that she can not get me that cheap and she ran away and stop responding to my messages.
