Have You Been Scammed /duped?? Share Your Experience To Save Others. by kissval1388: 2:10pm On Jul 21, 2016
Hello Nairalanders,,,,
with the current situation of the country and
economy melt down, many youths who are jobless,
have resulted to scamming and duping people on
the street since scamming is the easiest way to
make quick money nowadays.
just yesterday I was scammed by some street boys
https://www.nairaland.com/3238843/beware-these-
scammers-town-victim
I decided to create this thread so that you can
share your experience if you have been scammed or
duped in anyway by these jobless predators
roaming the street.
For those who claim they are street wise, you can
also drop some advice so that others can learn.
I believe that a problem shared is a problem
solved.
this would go a long way to help others, identify a
scammer at first sight.
thanks!!!

My own is the worst, I have been scammed to the
extent that I begin to think the problem is from my
village.
before I sleep, I will commit my dreams in to the
hands of God so that I won't be scammed in the
dream and during my morning devotion, I still pray
to God not to Encounter these guys on the street.
But I have come to realize that GREED is the
problem. yes Greediness!!!! I thought been Educated
is everything.
Special thanks to the Nairalanders that made me
agree that am greedy. yes am very greedy thats why
those guys kept eating me mugu.
I promise I won't be greedy in life again. I will be
contented with the little I have.

December 23,2013.I was scammed at idumota,in front of GTB bank. Those guy will say pick a number,and I did ,I was told I won a fridge,and they want to buy it from me at 25k,was happy because I was broke then. Thinking how Xmas would be with 25k..

Later,I was told to pay 5k for the ticket of the number I picked, before I know what's up,they told me I didn't win anything again.some miscreants later came to harass me to run away..I ran,seeing the hard look on their face.

Funniest thing,those guy are still there duping people..greed is the bad. I lost 5k and still ran away panting heavily.

I hardly fall for scammers as I have their antidote. I was pained the day my antidote failed me and I was scammed on Nairaland by one of these guys advertising the sale of data. A friend of mine that has been out of the country for a while was coming to town and needed to surf the web as soon as he touched down in the city. He called me to inquire which plan was cool and how he could subscribe. Since I have seen contacts of dudes advertising the sale of data on Nairaland, I decided to call one of the dudes on Nairaland that faithful Saturday morning to ask him if he has the unit of data I had told my friend about. He answered me in the affirmative and told me how I could make the payment. (Recharge card). I offered the value of MTN recharge card and the number he was to send the data to without any iota of doubt. I called him to ascertained he got the text message which he confirmed was successful. After about 5minutes wait and the data was not sent (since my friend was on my neck at that point), I called him and he told me they were having network problems, that I should be patient for awhile. I waited for the whole of that day without success. To cut the long story short, I called the fellow some days later and he appealed to me to wait till about a week time since they have exhausted the data I requested for and that it would be available on that said day, I didn't bother to call him on tha appointed day just to give him a day of grace. When I eventually called the next day, he said I should pay some more cash for him to send me another unit that they have ran out of stock of the one we initally settled for. That was when I knew the dude was really serious at swindling me. I asked him for a refund which he has vehemently refused....



Nairaland moderators should do everything possible to ensure this forum is not a breeding ground where fraudsters have a jolly ride...

We were all scammed by the APC last year by the current government of Nigeria. So by 2019, we have to do the needful by changing the change to prevent our dear nation from total collapse. Thank you!

yh

It shld b 3 years ago. I wanted to buy phone @ computer village & I have 13k with me. As I was checking from one phone seller to another I hear one bro for my back saying "bros yeh, u wan buy phone?Come buy this express music phone na, very cheap & affordable with perfect functionality" Na so I carry my leg go meet d guy o.
I checked through d phone & it was working fine, I dialed some numbers & spoke with two to three people & it was awesome. I stylishly asked d guy what d fault of d phone is & he said no issues at all & that he needs money to buy another phone.
I priced d phone & he said 8k, I was like sho but as I sharp guy( I think I was ) I told him I can only pay 6.5k & at last he agreed. I remembered I have been scammed one time like that at oshodi where I bought a phone for 3.5k only for d guy to hand over a scrap to me & also called some guys to give me sweet slap to say d least so remembering that scenerio, I acted smartly this time(I think say I wise). I told d guy that I will hand over d cash to him after he hands over d phone to me on d bike & d bike will take off to avoid a recurrence of what I experienced at oshodi. He agreed & we called a random bike man.I climbed d bike, he gave me the phone & I gave him d money & zoom I instructed d bike man. After some distance, I looked back & I saw d guy smiling so I smiled back & also waved him with my 32 teeths widely opened.Immediately I got to d bus stop at Ikeja under bridge, I entered sango bus direct & I was happy I now have a gd phone for just 6.5k. All this while I did not check d phone I was holding not until I got to iyana ipaja where I feel it is safe to check d phone.
I press d end call button but no light showed up so I was thinking it must have been switched off by d guy. So as I pressed switched on button, I noticed one white object popping out & I was like what is this? I smelled it cos it stained my hand & I found out that it is fufu. I opened d phone & saw how fufu was packaged as phone for me. The man for my side just dey look me dey laugh. I no fit talk self, I just jejely put am for my pocket dey go house. Na so them take sell fufu for me for 6.5k

What is scam? When you want what you do not deserve at the moment.
Causes? Greediness

I have never been scammed but i hear super story

Can u imagine a friend that was offered to but a bag of cement for 1k when the market price is 1.5k, and the condition or the clause is - he buys minimum of 100bag thou they agreed payment on delivery but with time conditions change and all his 4m investment gone.

I have been scammed on olx before. Wanted to buy a bus. I thank God it was only 50k i lost. Since then i have learnt that any free thing or extra cheap product or service should be suspected.
