Most of the guys advertising phones here are big time scammers, they just get pictures of phones upload here looking for who to scam. i have sent 70k to someone here including waybill fare and he stopped taking my immediately after he got the money

Oh gosh! Nemesis will definitely catch up with whosoever did that.

As a matter of fact, I can't even buy a phone from jxt anyone here xcept is pay and "carry go".


Also, buying phone from an individual here is a big risk.


Some of them sell phone with hidden faults.......yhu see them saying clean as new etc.


Please, people should wise up.


Op, report the matter the mods and post the name of that scammer here to avoid anyone else falling for him.

There are honest people here, I sold a phone here last week . As a buyer, it is better to buy from someone in a location u can easily have access to either by yourself or through a proxy. That way, u can check the phone before paying. It's the safest way

Buy phones from only those in your state you can meet.
Check out the phone carefully before paying.

Did you check his reputation? Has anyone dealth with him before? What's his ID. You can track him down if you care...

Before sending cash to someone, think about using Escrow first.

That is bad, and this is one of those that makes people like me doing online business to look like a scammer in the face of new customer.

He will definitely meet his waterloo.

I understand the pain, but please don't generalize that kind attitude among those of us that share product pictures here. Many nairalander can testify to my Jumia services on both pay on delivery and prepaid orders.

Op you can track him, nothing is hidden under the face of earth anymore... Moreover before making such deal you should done a little background check, like year of registration... Evidence of other successful deals... Etc

There are many honest people here. My laptop was bought from a total stranger here, transfered money to him, got my stuff here in delta state from lagos....


I hope you get this Scammer.
