I'm so sorry to hear that.
I was scammed too on Sunday.

Come back to this comment in 10minutes to read my own story.

(10 minutes later)

I'm back

So, I got a contract to do Barbeque Chicken for our Church Youth Dinner. I got a guy on my street who does Barbeque for sale to do it for me. We agreed on price and I paid him over 70% of the money. I gave him the 100 pieces of chicken.

The dinner was on Sunday Evening by 6pm. To finish by 8pm so people can go home early enough.

The Barbeque man said I should come by 6pm to carry the chicken. I got there at 6, Baba has not finished atall. Some were still on the fire. He had like 21 not done atall.

I almost fainted.

I carried the remaining 79 like that to church. And that was the main meal. No rice. We started serving, it did not go round. People were complaining cos they paid money for the dinner.

I came back at the man's place at 7pm, he had not still finished.

Bottom like, baba did not still finish barbequing the chicken, people went home angry especially those that had nothing to eat. He was not even bothered and by 10pm he told me to carry the remaining chicken home and go and fry myself since people had left.

I counted the remaining chicken and it was 12 fresh ones remaining to barbecue at the time. Told him to pack it in nylon let me go and bring a bowl to put it. Came back later and collected it. Got home and discovered only 6 pieces of chicken were in the Nylon.

After all he had done, He still had the mind to remove 6 pieces of chicken after ruining our event and embarrassing me infront of everyone.

What I've realised is that some people are just cursed from the pit of hell. They can never change who they are.

Wherever he is, Calamity will follow forever. That's my prayer.

you are too dull

Something around 2012, I'm a maruwa operator then.
This guy chartered me from ikotun down to idi-araba telling me he want to carry some goods from luth hospital back to ikotun, we bargain and the money look good to me not too high tho. the first red flag I should notice then is that some area boys are saluting this guy in a manner I should be cautious but I ignored the sign and he even asks me to tip them which I obliged.
To cut the story short, we enter luth hospital compounds, and this guy just enters one store and comes back and tells me that he can't find the person he usually buys goods from and his phone is down I should borrow him my phone to contact the person and according to some rumors in the store the goods he wants to buy as skyrocketed so I should borrow him addition 3k,naso I carry my hard earn money give this guy dat very day ooo.
I don't know there is another entrance behind the store.na so the guy carries my phone and money run ooo.

Please Nairalanders,
I purchased a pair of shoes from Jumia on the 8th February but I had to cancelled the order the same day when I realized the situation of the country was getting bad. I got a message from them on the 9th confirming the money in my Jumia voucher then I emailed them to help transfer the funds to my bank account. I received an email asking for bank info which I forwarded to them. They asked me to wait for 5 working days for the money to be paid.
After the 5 working days elapsed and the money is not there I went to my bank and I was asked to contact Jumia. I contacted them immediately on livechat and lodge complaint. I was not satisfied with their response on live chat and that prompted me to send another email they acknowledged it and promised to escalated the issue to my bank and promised today being 28th March all issue would be resolved.
I also asked my bank to follow up with that and gave them transaction info Jumia provided.
I went to my bank today but no money.
I chatted with Jumia representative, they asked me to wait again.
This is frustrating... I need my money back.
Please Nairalanders how can I go about this to get my refund.
Thank you guys.
I’ll be waiting for your advices.

Yours,
Somebody

You'll get your money but it will take time. Patience, patience

i dont know whats more crazy/funny here...
A) you accepting food from a total stranger, B) you giving this yeye person 2k and letting him run away with it just like that or
C) saying that you lost 2500 while anyone who is good in math understand that 2000 + 200 makes 2200, not 2500
You did not minus the meat pie money (450). So, his total loss is 1,750.

Good Day N'Ls..
Finally, I fixed the bike I bought last week. Driving my okada today and I was able to raise about 3k! While riding under the hot sun, I was flagged down by this tall well looking, fair guy.. He told me his location and we agreed for transfer, he's to pay me 200 naira. While on trans, he told me we should branch an eatery, he needs to get something for himself. Baba went inside after I packed the bike, came out with 3 meatpile. All of a sudden, He gave me 1meat-pie! Claimin he loves the way I drive.
We got to our destination, immediately a boy of about 10years+ came to him and whispered something to him, immediately he became uncomfortable. He asked me to give him 2k cash that he'll transfer it to me with my okada money and that it's a matter of life and death. I gave this guy and he ran into a compound, tho he told me he'll be back in now now now.
I'm still there and is more than an hour and bros is no where to be found, i'm at home now thinking about my loss of 2500, this life sha..

I am sorry for your loss.

You are going to have to be extra hard going forward. Any problem, challenge or issue of the passenger is not your business.

Any over smiling or over friendliness shoukd immediately get your antennae up.

Also requests to drive into suspicious looking areas, hurry up hurry up - they are all part of the scams

Welcome to the jungle

Sorry for your loss but 2500 is not that much for you to learn the lesson

Might not be scam. It might be a genuine problem that made him forget. Did you ask around the compound for him? If you did and someone know him, you could have dropped your account details with them.

eh yah, sorry about ur experience. you just learn another lesson not to be too friendly with ur customer. also avoid collecting food and drinks from riders, many uber drivers and taxi drivers have lost their life and cars through this means.

You're a novice. But how on earth would you accept a transfer of 200 naira and still borrowed him 2k even when he hasn't paid you. I guess he hypnotized you with the meatpie.
