Which one is lucrative you wanted to join.

It's not rocket science,

1. Find a product on Amazon with low competition.
2. Do keyword research to find answers to questions surrounding that product.
3. Create your website
4. Write seo optimized articles
5. Try creating backlinks to your posts.
6. Google will pick it up and rank them.
7. Once you have traffic, apply for Amazon associates and earn. Note Amazon are very strict, you could be banned for knowingly or unknowingly breaking any of their rules.

I'm moving away from Amazon already, its not so lucrative unless you have a very huge site.[/quote]

Don't blame this gentleman, most of the time even someone that you have not met before, you might just have some kind of confidence and that doesn't mean total trust, but the person has betray the trust and confidence you had in him..and one thing is certain, all people like that will surely meet something bigger than them, but most time we don't hear from them again and we believe things will be fine with them.. even the bible attest to it that it shall never be well with the wicked.. so Op God sees your mind and shall multiply you in hundred fold.. don't let that detare you, someone I don't know or meet in my life has entrust me with property worth 3 million..so blaming you because of that is out of point, becauseif you trust someone you don't know on little thing, someone will trust you with something bigger too... we shall remain bless all..

So I have been trying to sell off my old watches which I have been advertising here and on jiji. I been able to sell two of the watches and two smartbands, and all the payments were via transfer.

This guy called me yesterday that he saw my ad on jiji and wanted to buy my Galaxy Watch 3 for his son. We bargained 100k. He said he was in the office and would call me once he's done.

After about an hour, he called that he's on his way to Lugbe shoprite in Abuja (I stay around there).

When he got to shoprite, he described he's car, and they were three guys in the car. The guy I have been talking with was sitting at the back. He said I should come inside.

The guy inspected the watch, and confirmed everything was fine. He said he has transferred my money, and then showed me his phone that he has been debited. I wasn't even concerned about the debit alert, I'm very aware of fake alert.

Based on trust, I just told him he could go with the watch while I expect my credit alert (based on network, I dont know if it will take 24hrs or more).

He told me thank you and left, and that was the end.

From there I went to get fuel, I stayed 30 minutes at the filling station, no alert. I started calling this thief and he didn't pick.

I have called him over 50 times with my both lines, but the shameless he-goat refused picking my calls, instead he switched off the phone. I realised I have been scammed, I deleted his number so I'm not tempted to call him again. The last thing I want now is distraction. If 100k makes him happy so be it.

I feel very angry because I allowed him go based on trust. I thought I was dealing with a gentle man.

Moreover this month has been very tough for me, Amazon out of the blues closed my associates account for a mistake I made in 2020, and withheld my $1400.

I now realise why the driver of the bus I took while coming back to Abuja turned to a mad man at lokoja simply because 6hrs later the transfer I did to him has not reflected on his account. He said before we continue our journey to Abuja, I must pay him his money in cash. I was forced to withdraw 20k from POS at 3k charge. He eventually saw the alert by 7pm after we arrived Abuja, and I was given back my cash.

Henceforth, I no see alert for my phone with all the marks from my bank, no deal.

Be warned, some Nigerians can be so daft. I couldn't understand why a grown ass man will be so useless.



You can see this is not a leadership problem.

Even Peter Obi can not solve this type of Human Problem..

This is pure character deficiency..

Someone deals with you based on Trust and you Betray Trust and we Worship God in this Country..

So many Churches more than the Churches in Israel and Jerusalem put together..


So many Mosques more than all the Mosques in the Arab world but we live with So much Hate for Ourselves and mutual Distrust and live on how to cheat the very Next Man..


Our Leaders are not Our Problems.. we are the Problems of Ourselves.

It's so sad and such a pity you Trust someone and the person turns to be untrustworthy.. You aren't a fool for trusting. The one that Betrayed Trust is the Fool and Karma Never missed such Addresses.

Sorry skultrick, this a very common modus operandi use by fake alert scammers, they usually come in 2- 3 persons, sometimes in fine ride while other times in hired commercial vehicles like napep..

Those in fine ride usually look presentable & trustworthy

Those in commercial hired vehicles also look similar but they would pretend to have a some serious engagement.

NEVER EVER GIVE ANY SOUL GOODS WITHOUT SEEING ALERT OR CONFIRMING UR ACCOUNT BALANCE PLS...unless u personally know d person & where to find them

That was the first sign, I could remember someone saying these force men are very spiritual and can easily detect evil when they see it. I waved it off with the taught that the force men might be looking for bribe.

There was something off about these guys. They didn't really look like people who could buy that watch. I said you don't judge people wealth by appearance.

The guy should be around 40-45, and he said he wanted to buy the watch for his son. I was wondering why get a watch for a small child. Perhaps, he married very early was my taught.

Anyways, it's past tense.

Because of the recent cash scarcity, transfer and POS is now the order of the day, so you all be very careful.

how can you trust someone you've never met before?

You should have confirmed the alert first by text message, then by your bank mobile app, and then by ussd code and also by email before handing him the watch.

If you were to be my younger brother or a friend, I would have slapped the hell out of you. You didn't see any alert or any notification of money dropped in your account and you went ahead to dash the buyer. Na wa ooo. Your shame is even shaming me. You need prayer ooo

You want me to say sorry right? I won't.
Now, you've learned your lesson the hard way..

Funny enough, while we were packed in front of shoprite, an army guy and police man stationed there looked at the car and said you guys look like bad people. The guy at the front said they are not, that they are just trying to close a deal.

That was the first sign, I could remember someone saying these force men are very spiritual and can easily detect evil when they see it. I waved it off with the taught that the force men might be looking for bribe.

There was something off about these guys. They didn't really look like people who could buy that watch. I said you don't judge people wealth by appearance.

The guy should be around 40-45, and he said he wanted to buy the watch for his son. I was wondering why get a watch for a small child. Perhaps, he married very early was my taught.

Anyways, it's past tense.

Because of the recent cash scarcity, transfer and POS is now the order of the day, so you all be very careful.


Now, bring your face. I want to slap it grin

So I have been trying to sell off my old watches which I have been advertising here and on jiji. I been able to sell two of the watches and two smartbands, and all the payments were via transfer.

This guy called me yesterday that he saw my ad on jiji and wanted to buy my Galaxy Watch 3 for his son. We bargained 100k. He said he was in the office and would call me once he's done.

After about an hour, he called that he's on his way to Lugbe shoprite in Abuja (I stay around there).

When he got to shoprite, he described he's car, and they were three guys in the car. The guy I have been talking with was sitting at the back. He said I should come inside.

The guy inspected the watch, and confirmed everything was fine. He said he has transferred my money, and then showed me his phone that he has been debited. I wasn't even concerned about the debit alert, I'm very aware of fake alert.

Based on trust, I just told him he could go with the watch while I expect my credit alert (based on network, I dont know if it will take 24hrs or more).

He told me thank you and left, and that was the end.

From there I went to get fuel, I stayed 30 minutes at the filling station, no alert. I started calling this thief and he didn't pick.

I have called him over 50 times with my both lines, but the shameless he-goat refused picking my calls, instead he switched off the phone. I realised I have been scammed, I deleted his number so I'm not tempted to call him again. The last thing I want now is distraction. If 100k makes him happy so be it.

I feel very angry because I allowed him go based on trust. I thought I was dealing with a gentle man.

Moreover this month has been very tough for me, Amazon out of the blues closed my associates account for a mistake I made in 2020, and withheld my $1400.

I now realise why the driver of the bus I took while coming back to Abuja turned to a mad man at lokoja simply because 6hrs later the transfer I did to him has not reflected on his account. He said before we continue our journey to Abuja, I must pay him his money in cash. I was forced to withdraw 20k from POS at 3k charge. He eventually saw the alert by 7pm after we arrived Abuja, and I was given back my cash.

Henceforth, I no see alert for my phone with all the marks from my bank, no deal.

Be warned, some Nigerians can be so daft. I couldn't understand why a grown ass man will be so useless.

Regarding the emboldened;You are even about to make another mistake that could get you scammed again.

With insiders from your bank, they can send you a perfectly scripted fake alert showing all the relevant information an alert should contain.

The best way is to log into your mobile or internet banking app and see the money in your acct before you confirm. This is the way proven to work - at least for now.

My sincere empathies on yout loss, bro

'Cause' and 'effects' controls all events. In the nearest future when this man is killed by a strange sickness, accident or stray bullet we put the blame on enemies.
Life is spiritual you don't need to place a curse on someone before 'cause' and 'effects' is activated.

Mugun don pay

Who do biz based on trust in Nigeria?

Rule of doing biz in Nigeria: Trust nobody (Everyone is suspect)

2. Verify ALL claims (Don't be deceived by packing, age or status)

3. Never forget no 1&2

and they were three guys in the car. The guy I have been talking with was sitting at the back. He said I should come inside

NB: Never in your life do transaction in the car of a stranger. Always use an open place. You didn't get hurt cos you fell for their method.

Sorry for your loss, but you should have confirmed the money hit your account before letting them go, a debit alert is not enough.

It's not rocket science,

1. Find a product on Amazon with low competition.
2. Do keyword research to find answers to questions surrounding that product.
3. Create your website
4. Write seo optimized articles
5. Try creating backlinks to your posts.
6. Google will pick it up and rank them.
7. Once you have traffic, apply for Amazon associates and earn. Note Amazon are very strict, you could be banned for knowingly or unknowingly breaking any of their rules.

I'm moving away from Amazon already, its not so lucrative unless you have a very huge site.
How do you get backlinks
