My own is the worst, I have been scammed to the
extent that I begin to think the problem is from my
village.
before I sleep, I will commit my dreams in to the
hands of God so that I won't be scammed in the
dream and during my morning devotion, I still pray
to God not to Encounter these guys on the street.
But I have come to realize that GREED is the
problem. yes Greediness!!!! I thought been Educated
is everything.
Special thanks to the Nairalanders that made me
agree that am greedy. yes am very greedy thats why
those guys kept eating me mugu.
I promise I won't be greedy in life again. I will be
contented with the little I have.

It shld b 3 years ago. I wanted to buy phone @ computer village & I have 13k with me. As I was checking from one phone seller to another I hear one bro for my back saying "bros yeh, u wan buy phone?Come buy this express music phone na, very cheap & affordable with perfect functionality" Na so I carry my leg go meet d guy o.
I checked through d phone & it was working fine, I dialed some numbers & spoke with two to three people & it was awesome. I stylishly asked d guy what d fault of d phone is & he said no issues at all & that he needs money to buy another phone.
I priced d phone & he said 8k, I was like sho but as I sharp guy( I think I was ) I told him I can only pay 6.5k & at last he agreed. I remembered I have been scammed one time like that at oshodi where I bought a phone for 3.5k only for d guy to hand over a scrap to me & also called some guys to give me sweet slap to say d least so remembering that scenerio, I acted smartly this time(I think say I wise). I told d guy that I will hand over d cash to him after he hands over d phone to me on d bike & d bike will take off to avoid a recurrence of what I experienced at oshodi. He agreed & we called a random bike man.I climbed d bike, he gave me the phone & I gave him d money & zoom I instructed d bike man. After some distance, I looked back & I saw d guy smiling so I smiled back & also waved him with my 32 teeths widely opened.Immediately I got to d bus stop at Ikeja under bridge, I entered sango bus direct & I was happy I now have a gd phone for just 6.5k. All this while I did not check d phone I was holding not until I got to iyana ipaja where I feel it is safe to check d phone.
I press d end call button but no light showed up so I was thinking it must have been switched off by d guy. So as I pressed switched on button, I noticed one white object popping out & I was like what is this? I smelled it cos it stained my hand & I found out that it is fufu. I opened d phone & saw how fufu was packaged as phone for me. The man for my side just dey look me dey laugh. I no fit talk self, I just jejely put am for my pocket dey go house. Na so them take sell fufu for me for 6.5k

Hello Nairalanders,,,,
with the current situation of the country and
economy melt down, many youths who are jobless,
have resulted to scamming and duping people on
the street since scamming is the easiest way to
make quick money nowadays.
just yesterday I was scammed by some street boys
https://www.nairaland.com/3238843/beware-these-
scammers-town-victim
I decided to create this thread so that you can
share your experience if you have been scammed or
duped in anyway by these jobless predators
roaming the street.
For those who claim they are street wise, you can
also drop some advice so that others can learn.
I believe that a problem shared is a problem
solved.
this would go a long way to help others, identify a
scammer at first sight.
thanks!!!
Op which kind question be that when all Nigerian have just bn Scaaaam home and abroad by APC change! The impact experience is so huge that no One will get answer for you now oh Op u ear?

Have not been scammed before because, I am not a greedy person. In December, 2014 I nearly fell into their trap. I was on my way to see my neighbour at new garage, Gbagada. I just saw one guy, he walked up to me. Asking about one street, I told him I don't know. I left him, another guy just held my hand telling me, we should help that guy, it was as if i was hypnotised, I now told him since you know the street take him there. Hw said we will make like 20k if we should help him. Let us all take a bike and locate this place he is going to. I just said, I don't know you and I don't need the money. That was how God saved me, if not they would have stolen my Samsung Galaxy tab 4 and money on me. I told my neighbour, he said I am damn lucky.
In conclusion, being prayerful and not being greedy made me not to fall a victim.

One Nairalander and his father had a structural problem and their buildings were cracking terribly. So they got my contact from Nairaland and called me to solve it for them.
After I solved it, the father who has been calling me from time to time from abroad called me one day that he needed me to help him get his goods from the airport.
I was reluctant but just to be of help to a man who I consider my client, I didn't know such a man who owns buildings will try to dupe a young Engr like me.

So I helped him to settle some bills on his goods to the tune of 180k. Only to discover that he connived with people to dupe me.

Why it doesn't pain me is that I know his houses both his family house and his ongoing projects as well as his son's own. So they will pay it back in a bigger way.

This happened last month , I met the guy on JiJi , he was selling a Camon C8 under an organization (he called it Happy Ventures) I wanted the phone badly as I also had much money on me , the dude said I should pay in the money first before he'll deliver the goods . And this was happening few days after I came across that recording of a guy who wanted to dupe a lady pretending to be a bank customer care service centre . The guy can call me but I couldn't , his number was in what I'll call a coded form . Mehnn as sharp Onitsha guy wey I be , I begin give am the guy bumper to bumper .
Whenever I have much airtime in my phone , I send him scary messages .
I don't ever regret it cos I could've lost like #20k to a scammer . This happened in Portharcourt

Truly, greedy is what makes most of us become victims of fraudsters. I had my experience here on this platform with one guy whose name is Garba. He uses 08144530300. I don't know how many people the idiot duped but it is because, those of us who were victims "were" greedy then.
Many will remember him. He post glo and mtn banner and lied that he is selling data at one ridiculous prices like saying 6gig of Glo is N2,000.
I transfer card to this guy and after the transfer, the idiot stopped picking my calls.

Another one is the one that says MTN is giving N10,000 for N1,500 recharge. That looks genuine, but alas!!! it was genuinely fake.

These activities are making people to loose trust in some post in Nairaland.

Admin should please do something. There are still genuine sellers\buyers on this platform, but these nefarious and heinous activities will make the platform useless for such purpose.
