Beware Of Fufu (apu) Phone At Computer Village

Just of recent, I went to computer village to buy second hand sonny erricsson k750i ,i was having #12000 with me but unfortunately 4 me i met some guys that want to sell the phone.i negotiated with them igave them the money, they removed the sim from the phone and handed the phone to me.

They asked me to quickly put it in the pocket  because of the police, which i did but when i arrived at the main road .i tried to check the phone but to my suprise i saw  hot fufu being packed into k750i case.

So i will advise anybody that wants to buy phone that they should please go in group as in may be with your friends so that u will not panic or fear because of this people they are desperate.thanks

kay baba sorry oo,your story is a very funny one,thats why i don't advise people to buy 2nd hand phones but if they still want to,they should buy from a friend but you self why you go dey hide your phone from police,when you know that you didnt steal it,you're supposed to no that it isn't clean when the dealer told you to hide the phone from the invisible cops.shine your eyes my guy

Hi Kaybaba,
Sorry about it o, just reminds me of the day my friend and I were swerved of 150 pounds at CMS and given fake notes. Both of us are complete sharp Lagos chics(or maybe thats what we think), but really we never thot we could ever be cheated because we are always so careful. the moral of the story is that it can happen to anyone in different forms you don't expect,it will just be like magic and this people use jazz too so i guess prayers and serious alertness is the trick.
CHEERS

Why can't you guys see the main issues behind this post?
The poster himself is a criminal. i mean, who else would buy a stolen phone (why else would he be told to hide it from the police?)

man, i don't care if i look like a JJC or a sissy or mugu or anything! I buy from an established shop and walk away in broad daylight!

Needless to say, i have no pity for the poster

Yes someone told me it happened to him too.

Someone offered to sell him an N72 phone, and he  said he had only 4000 to buy it and the seller asked him to bring the 4k that he was in need of money thats why he was selling it at that price.

He actually tried the phone as in he put his sim card inside after it worked, he removed it. I think when the guy was about to bring out his money and count, he exchanged it with the fufu phone. As in it was allthose dummy plastic phone cases packed with fufu to make it have weight.

It was when he got home and he was about to put his sim inside that he realised that it was a dummy plastic phone packed with fufu!
