topsy23: I guess by now, a few phone numbers would have become apparent. A few bank account numbers would have been used A few people would have paid and can probably identify these criminals, if they see their faces again? If we can forward these info to the security agencies, they can easily bait and track down these kidnappers. It's just too easy for them to shake people down this way. Same thing is happening in the situation of young men who are desperately looking for jobs, only to get scammed by unscrupulous "employment Agency" I hope anyone or builder who gets a similar call does not keep it to himself.

emmadejust: I was suspicious of this number when he called me some weeks ago about an uncompleted building he wanted me to do the finishing. He started the conversation by asking me to send jobs i had done in the past, which i sent. after few days, he called me back asking if i can come to imo for site investigation, which i accepted. THIS IS PHONE NUMBER 08154806413 |

The first meeting should be in a restaurant and take a picture of them and post online..so if anything happens to you, you have a face to report to the police |

Nairalanders can you belive this that the gang that robbed me of my .money,phone (iPad ) and others at Owerri are using my whatapp even after i had gone to an airtel office to block the line and even retrieved it. A friend saw this and contacted me. The attached photo is now the profile picture in use. Even though i can't categorcally say for sure if they are the culprits because it was getting dark before we met but there are some resemblance . The short and rumbust one looks like the "David " and the others have resemblance of the others that night . and they were four in number as they are here. Iam posting this sso that every one should be on guard . 1 Like

Gbenke: Seun, as the owner of the forum where this fraud is being engineered, is there not something that you can do using the powers of Nairaland? |

Sanchez01: This is not a normal case, so it is abnormal and should be treated as such. Even if you meet them in a place like eatry and they joke with you, eat and say "i like your price, lets go and see the site", on the way, they can rob or kidnap the person. So do even think of it. Owerri is not that safe. 3 Likes |

dayomide70: That's humans for you. While some engage themselves with things that can fetch them their daily bread, others are looking for how to steel from reasonable humans. I wonder if taking the easy way out is worth it. How I wish the OP noticed they were fraudstars from the get go and then went their with police (that's if the policemen won't even strike a deal with them there and have him (OP) arrested as the culprit. Anything is possible in 9ja. |

EgunMogaji: What exactly can he do when in the real sense, some of those criminals aren't even active. Some are just visitors and not registered while the registered crooks are nothing but trolls on here.. |

lastpage: The worst part of it all is, scamming unemployed graduates. No matter how evil one is, one should never do that. Even the devil will have some bit of sympathy for such set of unemployed. I've seen loads of such scam ads back when I was hustling for job. Thank goodness I never attended any.. |

WeldHome: He can consult with security experts on solutions that'll work for him. I have my own system that I use to vet on my site forums. |
Re: My Experience With 'The Owerri Client' by WeldHome: 7:03am On Aug 01, 2016 |
EgunMogaji: OK. But I still think it's more tedious doing extra work outside maintaining/building his franchise. I think it's we the users that need to employ measures to enable us identify such criminals. It wouldn't be a bad idea going to site with a security personnel (especially for those who can afford it). Also, with what I'm seeing here already, I'm considering pulling off from the internet and facing clients from the real world only. Reasons being the one of discussion and, there are too many fraudsters on the internet, making it very difficult for clients to trust the reasonable business owners on here. I'm just observing for now tho. If it keeps being this way, then I'll strictly use here for just information acquisition and a place for relaxation, rather than for business. |

And the worst part of it , the idiot fit dey here dey read dis thread, my advice is let the client pay into your account first for commitment before going to the site for measurement or quotes, go with either 2 or 3 people and let them hang around while u go and meet the client, always gather enough details about the customer before involving in anything with a client , always keep in touch with your families and friends , I knew how I handled my recent client whose location was far from mine and he gave all details of his even before I agree to take the next move with him, always take your time to gather enough info before going to meet your client . May God protect us, Let's be more conscious and alert. God bless Nairaland and bless SeunI quite agree with you.Let every one be safety conscious.May God protect everyone.Amen. |
