BADNEAT:
your foolishness on this thread reveals why scamming you was quite an easy task

Tydies:
OP, if someone scammed you of 15k, why don't learn your lessons quietly and spare us the bullshit? Everybody can't be as careless as you are.

letsbet:
I hope you get banned again for wasting my mbs..you butthole.

Tapout:

u don't know how he got the money or what he went through to get it.....spare him ur lectures pls

letsbet:
I hope you get banned again for wasting my mbs..you butthole.

bedfordng:
Guess i have no option than to post it bit by bit and see where i can be able to reach before i get ban again because i am not sure which of the details is making the bot to ban me, maybe the person's name, phone number, moniker, account number or something else because am sure i did not use any bad words.I will try to post it bit by bit How I Got Scammed Of 15k By Izebhokhae Frank (0.8.1.5.9.9.3.4.4.4.1) On Nairaland

exxell:
How are we sure this scam was not performed by a moderator who keeps on flagging the words in the OPs message? Or does the OPs thread have so many links that are not related to nairaland? Just thinking outside the box though. OP, if you are reading this, mail me the scam details.... I will edit it and post it for you. Kpata Kpata, I will screen grab it.

bedfordng:
am not doing this for you. I am doing this so others won't fall victims transacting with the same person.this could save some one huge cash.i believe some people are also negotiating deals with the same nairalander and might fall victim.so you can skip this thread and look for something else.nairaland has lots of categories, so check other category and skip this thread.

I got ban again from mobile phone section after writing the persons name and phone number.i can see that they have moved the thread to technology market.

For those suggesting converting it to jpeg, i wanted search engine to crawl the post and list it so when some one search via the persons mobile phone, bank account, name, they may have something about him because i know most of us do search online via some ones mobile or bank account to get reviews about such person before transacting with them.this is why i wanted to write it in text and list his several username on nairaland according to my search.since the spam bot could not let me do that, i guess i have to device other means.

sorextee:
Oga, why u no just remove those links wey plenty for ur profile first, according to dat mod. U just wasting our time.

Nobody should do any business with this guy(frankycomputer) he is a fraudster and has been arrested by the police. i just received a call frm the police with his number asking if i was duped also. be warn

i saw his advert on nairaland, Toshiba Satelite laptop with a price tag of 35k. i called him and he said he reside in abuja ( First Red Flag but i did not take note of this, my bad ). we agreed on part payment of 15k ( second Red Flag But i did not take note of it either ). he said he is going to make use of Agufure Transport to send it down to Lagos. as agreed, i paid the 15k that same day.he went to the park to send the package but on getting there, he said they charged him 7k for the transport ( Third Red Flag and this ring a bell in my ear). I told him to give the phone to the personnel so i can talk to him but the voice sounded like a scammer also.seems he was at home because i was wondering how he could have gone to the park so soon since he said the park was far from his area.


He insisted i send another cash so he will be on a safer side ( 4th Red Flag but i took note of this and persuaded him to send it like that and when i get it i will pay for sure)


he went in search for another transport.he did as said but they charged him 5k. due to time getting to closing hours for business, he told me he is going to send it the following day.i agreed. I called him in the evening but no response, later called him again at late hour and he told me he went for church service ( Another Red Flag ).we agreed to get it done the following day.


The following day i called him and he said he has sent it via transport.this is where the whole saga started and made everything clear i have been scammed.


He started telling me he could not get in touch with the driver during the whole day ( 5th Red Flag ).
i tried to understand, probably it could be due to network problem since its a road journey.i was skeptical because he said he was going to make use of Agufure Parcel and not road side driver.i gave him time and later called in the evening, this time he refused to answer his calls ( 6th Red Flag which triggered The Biggest Red Flag Alert ).i said to my self, i have falling MuGU for this Guy.


I refused to believe and continue calling, no response for more than 2 days.i kept on trying and he answered the call and asked who is this, i introduced my self and immediately he hung up the call and sent me a message that i should send my account number to him, i quickly sent it.he said 20 minutes he will make a transfer.i waited for the whole day, no alert.


I called again through out but no response.kept calling and luckily he answered and told me he has not been able to get in touch with the driver, that he was afraid to answer my calls.i had to wait and see if any driver would call me but none called.i called him but no response for the whole day, following day no response either, kept calling.


It got to Thursday,last week before Friday public holiday which was for eldel Fitri / Muslim SALA, he answered the call and said he has collected the package back from the driver.


He asked if i would be patient, he will send it by Monday Being 21st Of July ( Public Holiday ).i told him to send the package on Friday which was also public holiday for sala.


Since my mind was already made up that this guy has scammed me, i had to play by his rules, i called again but no response, i sent him text trying to make a point clear to him but he boldly told me that the name he is using to scam is not his real name but his Trade Name ( 7th Red Flag ).


I started laughing because this is my first time of hearing such.so now one has trade name which they use in opening bank account, not surprised though.


I still called him and he answered the call and told me he is going to send it on Monday. i gave him benefit of doubt and waited until Monday.

Fast forward to Monday, i called him and he said he is about going to the park but suddenly it started raining in Abuja that Monday ( 8th Red Flag ).immediate he said that, i went ahead with personal stuffs on ground for that day and called him later in the evening, thinking he would have sent it but no response up till this very moment.so guys pick one or two red flags from this post.

My background check on him revealed he is into Pet sale, Custom sale of cars, Mobile phone sale, computer sale and lots more with different username on nairaland and facebook

see images of scammer.if you can't see the image via mobile phone, then click on the image to zoom it.i used his phone number to search on google and got this.

when you first call, he tells you he is in Abuja. do not fall for that,

if you don't learn anything from this, learn the following Reg Flags Alert

meet any seller in person to transact online dealings even if you are busy, you can send someone on your behalf to check him or her,


do not pay into any ones account even if its part payment for a product you've not seen.

If any seller do not add his or her location and address to what ever they advertised, this should signal Red Flag.no serious seller would want to do business without adding location and address when it comes to physical product except maybe you have done business with him or her to an extent to gain trust but for someone you barely know, you should be at alert


if you call a seller, do not tell him or her your location.first ask them where they reside and see what they say and if they tell you they reside in abuja, kaduna or any other long distance from your end, you should be at alert.you can play along and tell them you have some one there or you reside in same state and see what they will say.most of them will use price to chase you if they know you reside in same state because they don't want to transact with you, some may tell you they are not in the state, maybe they traveled for important quest.this should definitely signal Red Flag to you.


If they asked you to come for meet up and you don't reside in that state, you can look for someone living in that state which you are sure of to carry out the transaction for you.you will have to be careful with this also not to meet another scammer that will scam you by not meeting the person on your behalf


try and do a google search of the persons name if they send their account details to you, just type the account number and see the result.am sure you may get result related to that person history online.with the result, you can decide whether to transact or not

if you can't find the person via his or her account number because i know some of them don't like adding their account number online, you can use their mobile phone number and see the result


you can also use facebook to search for the person using his name or phone number and go through their profile. Check their profile and do some diggings to see how often they update their profile.you may get their contact address via facebook if they leave it public.


You can also create a thread on forums to ask members if they have transact business with them.you may get some fake testimonies from some members who pretend to have done business with them.they are often same person making the comment.so be at alert.if you see any suspicious comment recommending them, click on that persons profile and check the date they registered on the forum and also go through their post history.if the date they registered on the forum is recent, then you should be at alert


if a seller advertise on a forum, click his profile and check the date they registered.if the date is recent, then you should be at alert.like this guy that scammed me, the date he created most of his account was recent.like i said, i failed to carry out proper check due to the stuffs i was doing offline..

To alert some people on nairaland who may fall victims from his various thread because i can see he has created various account and listed mouth watering offers and nairaland users are already asking questions about the product he claims to be selling.i will mention their names so they won't fall victims

Sorry mavinc4u the spambot got you for trying to post this piece above.
You will be unbanned soon.

dominique:
I believe the person in question is https://www.nairaland.com/frankycomputers. His other handles has been banned but he's still operating with this one. But all hope is not lost, you have his personal data. If you can provide proof of a transaction between the both of you, you can report to EFCC.
*edit*
Looks like he has been apprehended. I got this quote from one of his topics.
