I just read this now and I thought I should share it so people can learn and not fall prey.

I tried my possible best to avoid them by not checking on too cheap price of a phone that I know it worth far more than what is been posted, few weeks ago I was in Lagos with my brother checking OLX for a car, I called several people and I was shocked when most of them will never be at where they posted on their Ads. fortunately and unfortunately one of them was in Lagos as it was on the Ads but to my surprise he said he will bring the vehicle to my house for inspection, I agreed on the spot but gave him address to a school close to my house, he later said i will pay for mobilization and fueling of the car, i said no problem when he bring it, then he said i have to pay the money into bank account or send recharge cards, I just cut him off

Two days ago, I checked for Q10 and saw some good moderate price deals, make calls and all the people I called were scam crawlers, so i stopped wasting my cards and decide sending messages to them, so one of them replied who is purely and cheap scam daddy and the conversation goes like this:

Note:
- He was part of the people i have called earlier, he told me to send him my address where I would want the phone to be delivered.
- The name he used on Yahoo is raymond okey

Raymond Okey: i dont understand what you mean by peace park abuja.

ME: thats the address

Raymond Okey: Is that where you want us to make the delivery to? hope you know you will have to show a commitment, because the money you will send will be what we will use in sending the goods down to you, and we will use the teller number on the deposit slip you will send to us as a parcel number on the receipt we will issue out then at the point of delivery the delivery agent will verify the goods afterwards you pay the balance to the agent.

ME: what money and where am i sending it to

Raymond Okey: your just showing a commitment and that will also be the money we will use in sending the package to you. The payment will be made into the owner of the companys account which is also subject to your verification. if you want the delivery made to you, you will make payment of 30% worth of what of what your buying a day before the actual day of delivery so we can package your goods and make plans for the delivery, after payment send us the teller number because it will be included in your parcel id number on the package.

ME: ok, so how do i send it


Raymond Okey: we have uba and fidelity bank accounts, which one will be convenient for you? when do you want the delivery to be made?

ME: delivery today or tomorrow, give me the two account in case one has a crowd.

Raymond Okey: we will make the delivery to you tomorrow and you have to send me the details of where you want the delivery to be made to and your full name and at least two phone numbers of diff networks because of network problems. i will send you the uba account first and if you find crowd there then you can tell me and i will send the other account to you. Oni Jacob 2070509056 UBA

ME: am replying you from the office, may not have access to internet once i leave for the bank, why cant you just give the two account because i will go to bank road in Maitama where there are many banks close to each other

Raymond Okey: ONI JACOB 6233844960 FIDELITY BANK. ONI JACOB 2070509056 UBA

*** After doing some background search on the name and account number I found out that the full name is ONI EMEKA JACOB***

ME: ONI EMEKA JACOB ?

Raymond Okey: yes sir (Idhioth, saying sir for me and he sound older but I like it sha )

Raymond okey: plz we are still waiting for your details.

*** He called me on phone and tell me they are waiting for my information and remind me that i just need to pay 30% before delivery ***

ME: is there any problem if i send it all? (forming O.B.O )

Raymond okey: It will still be very okay if you wish to make the full payment at once.

ME: I just hope I can trust you, so how much am i sending now?

Raymond okey: We agreed at #28,000. please send me your details so i can start packaging your order now. (am very sure the mumu has forgotten how much we were dealing with, what is he packing that he need to start quick, na poo? )

ME: for used Q10? nooo, we can only have a deal of 20k

Raymond okey: Sir you dont have cause to worry, this is not the first time we are making deliveries. hopefully after this first transaction the customer relationship and trust must have been establisheed

Raymond okey: the phone you are buying is very clean and it still has all the accessories, because of how clean it is that is why we put 6months warranty tag on it. That is the last price you can get it for. if you get it cheaper anywhere you might be at risk of buying a refurbished phone that will crash soon.

Raymond okey: my manager said i should give you for #27,000 so that we can make you a life time customer.

** He called now, forming another voice acting like the manager, saying his staff said i want to buy a phone and that he has ordered him to sell it for me at price i begged for(beg who? me wey i de catch fun ) that i should send my details after i make the payment, that all they need is paymet slip receipt number, my name and address when i want it to be delivered, I told him I will go pay by 2:30 to 3pm, he sound happy because it was after 2pm already and said he will call me by 3pm***

-- He called exactly 3pm and i told him I am very busy in the office and I will do internet transfer, he quickly use style saying he did not call because of money, that he called to tell me they need my information to start packaging the phone.

BUT WHY ? I have sold and bought online and it was a good experience then, but why some Nigerians are ready to damage any good platform out of laziness, People should just try to be very careful with this people, they can plan to meet you at a place for delivery of goods and they will practically plan to rob the buyer from that point since they know the buyer may go with cash



MOD - please move to appropriate section and let people learn because this people are draining Nigerians seriously and that is why they are many
