[size=13pt] Of course I agree corruption is a worldwide epidemic, credit card fraud here if i'm not mistaken is higher than in Nigeria and I get scam mails from Americans here too but Nigeria is surely somewhere @ the top of the list. The aggression with which yahoo boys were churning out those scam mails and reaping dividends during the 419 boom era has made a lasting impression which may be difficult to erase. If you say it is not due to corruption, how else do you explain Nigeria's name conspicuously missing from payment list (you even attested to having experienced it yourself) when you have other countries like Ghana and Somalia on the list and why would credit card payments for some of the simplest things from Nigeria be rejected. What other reason ? ? [/size]

You do realize that everything you've been posting just to counter Kobojunkie has been straight up crap, right?!

I know you've been stalking me, so no worries...

You can't seem to get me off your radar, I don't know why, but hey

Oh my God, you've started with this your inferiority complex of a thing again. When was the last time we had a ti*t for tat?! So, pump your brakes and swallow like 40 chill pills abeg. Am I the only one that called you out?

Oh btw, I know it's CRAP, after all Biz Books explained further, so why worry?

kingoflag: Its funny how Bizooks keeps saying things like "USPS which stand for United States Postal Service". . . .

Lmao No o, na University of Sokoto Postal Service. hahaha The way he replies just seems funny to me, like he's "schooling" folks or something.

BizBooks: @Kobojunkie,

It seems you find it very difficult to admit when you are wrong. Everybody knew Chucky234
was referring to NIPOST except you.

Well, if you ship a single laptop, you can claim it is for personal use. But when you ship
5 or 10 laptops in one box, you cannot claim they are for personal use. You have to pay
Customs fee for them. I don't really think you know much about shipping. I have been in
that business since 2001.

Kobojunkie:
First you claim that the fees Chuks was charged, twice the cost of his laptop he says, is partly customs fees and is legit. Then I tell you that I was able to ship laptops and was not charged any of your so-called customs fees. Now you come back with some story of personal and non-personal use. Stop posting your brain-fart!

I've been laughing my a$$ off and cringing at the same time on his behalf.

I think we can safely say some people just respond to names and not the contents of the post. He's made up his mind that no matter what a certain someone says, he is taking the opposite side. . .even if he ends up with egg on his face.

Posts like his make for a fun read.

Nigeria is a top the list because unlike other nation who protect theirs, Nigeria doesn't give a damn. When Ghanian commits virtual crime, they'll blame Nigerians. When any other nations is about to perpetrate fraud, they'll use Nigerians. When you have different people who aren't Nigerians using Nigerian scam template to commit fraud, why won't it top the chart?

You're right it's difficult to erase but if you don't invest that goodwill, how do you earn the trust? How many fraud cases have you heard of in the U.S., does it mean it doesn't exist?

Nigeria was missing from the payment list because Nigerian govt (in part) isn't resolved to aggressively deal with the issue and compete for these companies to do business with Nigeria. Nigerian Govt is business as usual meanwhile the eCommerce global is leaving Nigeria behind.

Like I previously stated, the Nigerian govt is ready to deal with the issue (not ONLY corruption) but with other issues. Before these companies can come to Nigeria, Nigerian govt has to prove that they can get it right. Nigeria now has CC vendors, ATM machines, etc.,YET, the so-called banks can't even get it right. Every bank wants to invest in cheap article and you expect third party vendors to invest in you?

Take for instance, Nigeria is a "SLOW PAY" countries for wire transfers, does it mean that the banks are also defrauding or involved in corruption? Then why is the largest nation in Africa and the third largest economy in Africa a "SLOW PAY" nation compared to ordinary Ghana and Kenya?

mistakay: When the post office charge a ridiculous sum for a package its usually the customs charge you will notice on the delivery note there is writing in red and blu the red is the customs, they once charged me 120k for a carton, the best thing is refuse to pay,make a scene write a protest letter address to G.M EMS Ikeja and say customs will drive you a way that you are a regular customer for several years,Ems value their customers alot because they are getting fewer and fewer,after few days you will receive another delivery note with new charges usually less than half of the initial charge.Do not pay high charges at post offices!

Kay-Dee:

[size=13pt]Lul @ Nigerian scam template, what an invention by innovative Nigerians. Well, I think we agree on the fact that corruption is to a large extent, the cause and govt is dealing with it decisively. We maybe saying it in different languages but that's enough for me. [/size]

Kobojunkie:

I can tell you it started right after the squabble I had with his annoying way of trying to shove his take down your throat on the thread questioning the Identity, and legitimacy of a certain Vulcan Corp Nigeria signed an MOU with some weeks ago. Ever since then, the maggot tries to INSULT HIS WAY INTO WINNING like a child.

Perhaps you're right...

Sisi_Kill:



QED!!

You guys are funny! Lol

Sisi_Kill: Again. . .what has corruption is world wide got to do with the matter at hand??

EBAY sellers are not saying they aren't shipping to "The world wide corrupted" places are they now?

They are saying[b] NO, I WILL NOT SHIP TO NIGERIA!!![/b]

In case you guys have forgotten, this is the sign on EBAY

www.nairaland.com/attachments/774475_NoShippingToNigeria_jpg5fce53b1eef3236d01826691d5758488

Leave the other "World Wide Corrupted" places to deal with their own issue and face yours!!

Sheesh! It's like dealing with a class of two years old with ADHD.

Kobojunkie:



a) I don't think abandoning payment is the way to go. If you feel that you are being charged fairly then you should have no problem paying up. We should all pay our fair share.

b) According to the Nigerian Customs Service own website, the charge should not exceed 20%, so if 120K is 20% of the cost of whatever it is you have conttained in the box, then you, my friend are owing and should pay up.

c) Here in the US, I try to pay up every possible fee that may be attached, even customs upfront. I just don't get how anyone could claim that being asked to pay 200% is CUSTOMS FEES.

mistakay:

You think they charge fairly? they are a bunch of illiterates trying to over shoot the the target of their custom bosses,they value a single carton for 700k and demanded 120k from me, no way ! My post office manager had that cut down to 30,000 and i dont believe im owing any one mr.kobo

torkaka: see what okoro people [/b]have done to nigeria , duping people and calling themselves [b]"INTA NA CION NAL" business men! abeg somebody give dem biafra sharp sharp - THE LAND OF THE RISING SCAMMERS SUN

USAMarshal:

kobunjoko shut the Bleep up. Tell us which of the shipping method you used and what you shipped instead of confusing nairalanders on the improvement and progress being made in the nigerian postal system

BizBooks: @Kobojunkie,

Mistakay has actually validated my argument. If you missed it, here's what he said:

"they value a single carton for 700k and demanded 120k from me, no way ! My post office
manager had that cut down to 30,000"

According to him Nigerian Customs asked for 120K and in the end they settled for 30K. That is
exactly what I have been saying. The Customs fee is not fixed. Whatever they ask you to pay,
negotiate as hard as you can.

By the way, how can you pay the Customs fee in the US for an item you are shipping to
Nigeria. The US Post Office will only ask you to declare the value of the item you are
shipping on the Customs form and that's it. They do not collect Customs fee on behalf of
Nigerian Customs. I highly doubt you understand what we are talking about here.
