Hi nairaland family,
on Thursday this week, I got in touch with an SME data reseller on nairaland, his phone number is . we got talking and bargained the price of data and he said he'll sell 15gb for 2,500 naira on the condition that I BC to my friends and family, I agreed. on Friday, I saw his message on whatsapp asking me if I was still interested.
I proceeded to send him 2,500 worth of airtime in return for the 15gb as promised and he acknowledged receipt of the airtime. since then till now, it's been one story or the other, telling me how network is bad and all.
I'm not a tech person but I don't think the excuse is valid. I wanted to bring this incidence to a wide audience so that they can learn from my mistake never to transact with someone you don't know physically and trust.
all I want is for him to either return my airtime or send me the data.
I'm a university student in his final year and this is a tough period for me financially. Below are some of the pictures of the text messages and whatsapp chats we exchanged.

please help me fight this injustice.

U ask ursef if u acted wisely

It's a mystery how people still fall victim to this particular scammer despite several warnings. You saw a cheap data advert and you jumped on it without even bothering to do a little research on the person you are about send money to. Next time, before you transact with someone you meet online, go through their profiles and ask questions from forum members. Too many fraudsters crawling all over the internet. Too bad you learnt the hard way

You have no evidence to prove the scam claims. No username or phone number of d reseller,so hw do we trace him or believe u? I think u are just an attention seeker.
