Nairalanders,share Your Phone Scam Experience Here! by Mykel4God(m): 9:22pm On Dec 17, 2014
I remember those days when I was still phone freak but had little experience and was duped by phone scammers,then brand new BOLD 2 was N45,000 but someone me that i should go to computer village at lagos,that I will be able to buy it at a low price,so I agreed and went there with a friend of mine holding N17,000 and hoping to come back home with a brand new BOLD 2
We got there and begin to price BOLD 2 but most of them said they could sell it nothing less than N44,000,after walking around and pricing different phones for about 2hrs,we later saw a guy with sugar coated mouth,he said he will be nice to us that we should bring N25,000 for BOLD 2,I didn't know what to do again than to start begging him to collect the N17,000 with me cos I was very tired and I didn't want to go home empty handed
After so much pleading,he later agree to sell it for us,he test it in our presence and ask that can we see it is in perfect order?, we said 'YES',he then went away and came back with a phone box and handed it over to me,I gave him the money and thank him a lot but he warned us not to check it in his presence,cos police are everywhere and they could arrest us for doing illegal business,he then disappear into the crowd


I and my friend left computer village with the tought that I am now a BB guy,to cut the story short,we reach motor park and my friend said 'ore ja kini yi,je ka gbose BB wo', and I answered 'SURE', I unpacked the so called phone,but to my surprise,as I press the red(NO) button,my finger went inside without any obstruction,it was then I begin to smell that I have been duped,I open the case and found cassava (akpu,fufu) inside,I could not cry because I was warned,my friend was very angry with me to the extent that he didn't talk to me for almost a month

That was how I was duped of N17,000 by phone scammers

GOD punish the devious igbo guy

Fell free to share you experience also!

You've been duped indeed! Too bad you can't sue the guy. But you can definitely warn others about him. Spread the word and save others from falling victim to the same scheme.

Better yet, report him to Callercenter.com and share the info of how the person duped you. You never know, your post might save someone from falling victim to the scheme.

Greed is the main reason many get scammed though there's nothing bad in trying to get a good bargain but when an offer looks too good to be true; talk to your leg
