Beware Of These Scam Trend In Nigeria by odave: 6:30am On Feb 27, 2015
God bless NL and God bless u guyz. The guy contacted me on bbm, This is his pin 2933340. He said he's sending £600, apple macbook and iphone 6 to me grin ode oloshi grin I was wondering what have I done to deserve all these,and he was like I just like you and want you to be my friend, that he's from Norwich and his name is Gibbs, I gave him fake names and address, I kno say na scam, that's y I didn't bother to give him my phone number. He sent a 'copy' of the reciept of what he's sending to me, I google search the company and I was like these guyz are mumu, even the the photoshop was childish, I zoomed it and twas full of flaws, the colour didn't match @ all, lots of copy and paste, I won't say the rest coz he might work on that, even the website na fake, no date nofin, not a real website but a blog, u can't even track your 'parcel'. Now I checked the bottom right corner of the reciept and saw something like 'the recievers would pay some amount to collect their goods' . Plz someone should learn from this my long epistle, the only time dhl asked me to pay was when my goods (9 tablet pcs) were seized by custom. Lots of scammers on NL, he must have gotten my pin here on NL. Maybe mod should move this topic to front page for others to learn.

Also, anoother scam going round is agro-allied loan scam. They will tell you to form a group of 10, asked you to buy form @p d rate of 2k naira or more (they collected 2k in my area) and asked you to bring passport photograph (4) open an account in bank, chose ur leaders (president, secretary and treasurer). Looks legit but its a pure scam. I was a victim, we went to the bank (BoA), they were laughing and made jest of us, and later told us that they (the bank) and Fed. Govt were unaware of those Agro-allied poeple, but those guyz disappeared with our cash. If you want any loan go to Bank of Agriculture nearest to you and ask for the normal procedure, don't buy any form from anybody. Imagine getting like 30k from each group, in my own case we were like 40 groups, only God knows how many states they've been to.I was a victim in osun state few years ago, and of recent I'v been receiving calls from different part of the country asking if they are legit, they are not legit plz, after selling huundreds of forms you won't see them again. A word is enough for the wise.

I hope my fellow NLers learn from these, plz kindly share it to loved ones too. I will be happy to see this on fp
