I once saw a 42" LG LED TV advertised for 30k. It was too good to be true but I'm one of the most cautious people online basically because I have related with some of these people before and I know they are just not smart but generally lucky to find a few in 1 million that are very gullible. I called the guy and told him I was calling from Ikorodu then he said he was at Seme. I just told him it couldn't work 'cos I'd like to see what I want to buy before I pay. Another thing that informed this was when I ordered for some stuff on Taafoo which I luckily decided I'd pick up at their store. On getting there, I found out that almost all the stuff on their site were stuff that are sold cheaply along the road in Ikeja or Ojota. So I always wanted to see whatever I want to buy online before I pay. I think this is a nice policy to have if you want to escape online scammers on such sites as OLX. I've actually bought a used Bold 4 from a guy on OLX and I had to meet him at a filling station where I had a good look at the phone before paying. Truth is, what the OP said are very correct and if you keep my kind of policy, you will escape most of them. If you want to do online shopping, rather buy from Jumia or Konga and the likes. They can deliver to you before you pay and you can also go to their store to see what you want to buy before paying. Also Kaymu is looking like another one that will go the OLX way if they are not careful. |

[size=18pt]The most important and most reasonable thing to do to protect not just yourself but other Internet users REPORT THE AD AS FRAUDULENT on Olx REPORT SCAM TO FACEBOOK BY CLICKING THE ABUSE/SPAM BUTTON QUOTE THE ON NAIRALAND AND TYPE SCAMMER IN 28 [BOLD] FONTS THEN REPORT THE Poster to moderators That's my personal favorite [/size] |

There is this brainless guy(08176491651) who claim to work in obasanjo farm,Ota,Ogun state.He claims to deal in all form of animal service and sales.He will tell you to make payment of your order and come with the teller before inspection.I dropped at the farm some days back to make enquiries of such dealings and i was made to know that there are many scammers of such using the farm name to perpetrate nefarious activities. A primary school boy wont even fall as MAGA for most of these brainless guy. We shall continue to expose them. 1 Like |

I was recently duped by one John Owolabi Larry n the olx username (Mr John). a fraudster user of olx. His phone no is 09033342561. I planned on buying a tecno r7 phone from him bt later stopped picking my calls wen I sent him 5k to send d fone 2 me. U can check out d link here: http://html4.m./tecno-r7-smartphone-for-sale-iid-781704531 I went 2 make some findings abt his account and found out he's a fraudster who has been in d business of swindling people of their hard earned money, My dear people, be careful and always get ur goods first before u pay a kobo. |

Olx is a very good platform to buy and sell stuffs at a very cheaper price but we nigerians thruogh our greed and dishonesty have turned it into some thing else. A very good example is John Owolabo Larry phone no:09033342561 olx user name (Mr john), Watch out for him, even his bank details have been proven fraudulent. Dont lose your hard earned money to lazy, stupid and greedy people like john owolabi larry. |

You will eventually get scammed if you keep discussing with the seller. Forget the whole story and look for your item in a location close to you. texybaby: |
