Jiji Online Market Is A Scam by UniqueUj(f): 8:03pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
I sited a Sienna 2000 model at Jiji online market @ 500,000 with d name and phone number of d seller. His name is Agbo great and destination is Borno to Enugu. I rang him and showed my interest on d vehicle and he told me that I have to deposit some money for transportation and expenses. Within a short while, I got a rnotification from Jiji stating their Acc number. I paid into d account and later called d seller who said that he has confirmed d money and by tomorrow which was 12th March, they will be coming down to Enugu. Uptill now, I haven't heard from them nor seen d vehicle. Pls nairalanders, has anyone experienced such before and how did u handle d situation cos I think Jiji Online Market is a scam. 1 Like 1 Share |

Jiji is no scam, you only fell for such a cheap one! How would you pay money in advance in an online trading platform without a kinda escrow or buyer protection? You neglected this from Jiji: NEVER PAY BEFORE PURCHASE Try to meet at a safe, public location Check the item BEFORE you buy it Pay only after collecting the item 20 Likes 1 Share |

UniqueUj: The notification you think you got from Jiji was not from them, it's still the scammers playing a smart one on you. Jiji does not offer any escrow services and they have no input in your negotiations with seller, theirs is just to provide a platform to connect buyers with sellers, just like NL Thing is : you are not very conversant with the way they perpetrate online car sales scam else you won't fall for this, this is textbook format, it's a good thing you've wised up now Jiji is no scam, u just didn't do your due diligence, they are even ten times more effective than NL in terms of car sales, just make sure u don't pay a dime for a car you've not seen physically next time 4 Likes |

You have been scammed. Jiji is not scam. Some sellers are like the one you met. Learn from this. You fell for a well known scamming format. Where did you say you are living that you aren't away of that format? Forget about being excessively lucky when buying a car. Sellers are not stupid. If it's excessively cheap, there is something fishy somewhere. Nurse your wound and move on. Such is life. 8 Likes |

Anyway at least you have the account information and the SMS and other communication between you and them. Save all of those, you may want to make a report with the police and open an investigation. The account info ties the scam to a specific individual. That’s a good place to start. Though frankly it may be better for you to cut your losses and learn from your mistakes. 12 Likes |

Nobody said he or she paid 500,000. The issue was with the intention to get the vehicle for 500,000. How much she paid is not part of her story. 4 Likes |
