 Thats what he intorduced himself as,so i was making some enquiry about looking for a producer for my sister to do her IT with who just graduated from pefti in script writting,

I called those two numbers timmy james introduced his self with and it was him,then i ask him if my sister could do her IT with him since he his a producer as he introduced himself as.

He said yes but the problem is that is centre/office is far away from where we live in palm avenue and he his in ibereko badagry express way.But my sister still wanted to do her IT without minding the distance.

So timmy james said they don't need IT participants now,That if she would like to join their production,that would be fine and she said yes.and timmy james now said that there are fees attached for joining their production thats #9500 (Nine Thousand Five Hundred Naira).which we agreed to pay him in person but he said no,an account deposit would be better and we should bring the slip to his production office in ibereko. but i insisted to bring the cash in person he said no.

I later agreed to deposit the amount based on trust and the genuity of nairaland.After making payments i called him to let him know this and that we were on our way to his office,he said ok.

All this deals were on phone,we never met before ,it was based on trust though i was doubting his identity.me and my sister set for his place on friday april 25th 2008.gettting to the said location of where he said his officce is located "Eden Concept Production.3 onifade close off German Avenue,ibereke BUSTOP,Badagry Expressway. Lagos" there was no where in ibereko that the address is located all the okada men and all in the area did not know the place,we tried calling him instantly but his phone where switchedoff not going through we tried in almost all business centres same thing and he did not bother to call us knowing we came from far even with a private taxi that we ended up paying #7000 naira.


we just concluded it was a scam and all in naiiraland should becareful, Don not deal with someone that is a nigerian you have never seen/met before or invite you to a said location alone, This was my experience with the said producer Timmy james Olalekan with his bank account number : 0940001012433. Oceanic Bank.

Uptil now we have not heard from him and his phone numbers not going through, The money is no more my problem only want to let you fellow nairalanders know what i went through dealing with someone here, Please beware of the kind of people here not all are honest some are fraudstars and yahoo boys, please becare.


Thanks
