NEW SCAM ALERT!

This guy said he got my number from nairaland and wanted to exchange some funds around mid-October.

We agreed, and he sent the funds $500, I paid sharply as usual. After 2 days Payoneer refuse to load the payment, so I contacted the customer service and they asked for some documents which I provided sharply too.

The next day I checked my Payoneer to see that my card has been blocked. The $500 still processed (pending approval) and I had $940 balance in the card. Ordinarily, I always check Payoneer names to the bank account provided, if its is different I will ask questions but for this particular transaction no name appeared (that happens lately, I guess Payoneer server issue).

In conclusion, the guy's number remain switched off since then, when it rings he won't accept the call then switch off on my second attempt. Till today, my Payoneer card remains blocked; meaning I cannot access to my $940 nor the $500.
Just last week I got an email from one Russian dude, telling me about how $500 was sent to my Payoneer and he already reported but till date, his card remain blocked too.

I have learned my lessons in a very bitter way but I have to inform others about this development, so you can watch you back for these scumba.gs around.

Someone once did this to me.

The moment I noticed the name didn't match I just message payoneer and ask them to refund the cash back to the account that sent it.

It took 1 whole week before the cash was returned to the owner.

It seems hacking payoneer account is the new trend

It's nice of you to notify the public, but the rule here is: Show proof of transaction. Screenshots, the email the russian dude sent you, then your case can be looked into accordingly.

But what you have there is just a claim.

Looking into the case? I don't get that part sir?

I post this only to warn member of the public. Only payoneer can refund my money, except you have other plans to get my money back for me sir. I can attach screenshot of the mails and my payoneer for confirmation.

If you're saying only payoneer can refund your money, then it means you are indirectly saying the alleged scammer did not really scam you.

We can also help you too, not only payoneer. $500 is big money.

Well, I have been scammed before, so I know how it hurts. Only that in my case I was able to recover the money.

In the same vein, I have been accused of being a scammer before, back in 2011. Only that mine was a blackmail. I was being blackmailed. The acusser had no proof or evidence to show I was a scammer, but I had proof to show he was blackmailing me.

So when I said "show proof..." it's so that everyone can really be convinved you were scammed.

I usually don't do this. My only motive of posting in the first place is to alert other exchangers about receiving funds from hacked payoneer so they don't fall victim.
I already made a formal complaint through my bank (diamond bank) and did same at Gtbank.

Find screenshots attached.

I usually don't do this but hope this is enough to clear your doubts.

The guy transacted strictly over the phone, so i have no chat to screen grab about him.

Lastly, Bro i have no reason to lie about anything here. Again, I'm posting this so other exchangers can take note.

Tabbaz:
Thanks for alerting us SUNBOY and sorry for the loss

Thank you bro.

Tabbaz:
Thanks again SUNBOY for posting the screenshoot

I have only lost $150 in my entire history as an exchanger (excluding $1800 withheld by paypal - though this will be released)

However, I still feel some pain each time I remember my $150

Loosing $500 is actually painful




For some of us that may not know sunboy. He is one of the trusted exchangers that usually don't shout on the thread - his way is operating in silent mode .

So, he can never tarnish anybody's image. I personally believe his story and I am one of those that encourage him to upload the SCAMMERS information for others to learn from it

Thank you brother.

It was actually Tabbaz and Justi that ask me to try and post for others to learn. I don't even know the guy's moniker on NL.

Actually it's $1440 (payoneer won't allow me to access my 940 already in the card) I pray they return the 500 and release my 940.

Nigerians are seriously something else. I don't mean to be racist , why can't people just have conscience??...

Pathetic.!!!

Please do deals with your friends alone. people you trust, not some online visitor.

I just got scammed!! By one petty hungry scammer, this is his number 09090105462 unfortunately his phone number is the only piece of info I have got of him (still can't believe I trusted him like that)

So I posted an ad on nairaland along with my phone number that I was selling $150 Amazon Gift Cards. The shameless scammer contacted me on whatsapp claimed to have gotten my number from Nairaland he wanted the gift cards. I asked for his nairaland moniker I wanted to be sure I weren't dealing with a scammer but he claimed ignorant of nairaland. He said he don't know what nairaland means, that he got my number from his wife sister who apparently is a member of nairaland and that he wanted the gift cards as birthday present for his son who's based in the US.

I wasn't 100% at rest with him so decided I wasn't sending $150 cards all at once instead I'd do $50 at intervals - I send, you send till we get to $150. He agreed so I send $50 card (another dumb move from me) after some minutes he came back saying the card has been used. I was like wetin be this now? That moment I knew I have been scammed. We went back and forth on whatsapp as you can see in the screenshot provided below.

He was like wait let me send screen shot to prove the card as been used hours before bla bla bla - he never send any... 20 or so mins later the scammer sent a funny albeit dumb screen shot from a website I never heard nor seen before paxful.com and I'm like guy abeg send me screen shot from Amazon website itself which one be paxful.com. Just so you know, Amazon Gift Cards can only be redeem on Amazon website, so which one is paxful.com

I called the scammer he'd pick my calls but won't say anything then cut the call almost immediately.. He then blocked me on what'sapp. I told him not to worry I've got the order number and serial number of the card. I'll definitely be taking it up with Amazon.com.

All because of just $50 this guy has destroy his destiny. I just don't know why Nigerians are this wicked. Are we Nigerians naturally heartless? No wonder on the hearing of the word Nigerian most foreigner duck and hide, for the fear of getting scammed by Nigerians is greater than fear itself. This country is doomed. Scamming is like a job to some lazy azz who sat on their azzes all day planning their next maneuvering scheme on innocent and well meaning law abiding Nigerians.

Anyway I told my uncle who sent me the cards, he'd definitely see to the scammers Amazon account got banned by Amazon, he'd be tagging it as stolen. Hopefully Amazon will have the scammers account banned and the money in it gone for good. My uncle just send me another $100 gift card see how God dey work?

Nairalanders yall should be aware. There are scammers everywhere. We all should be watchful and observant.
