its one of lesson to be learnt in one's life, anything you want to do, do it in the best time, place and give even if its token. I believe if you give you will not forget to count your money.

OP, it is a pity you lost so much. Mine was more different. Please next go to the bank or use the guys that have office.

Always transact business with the mallams in Alade Market. Do not make the mistake of falling into the trap of high exchange rates with the road side boys from Ikeja Airport Hotel to Allen Avenue.

If you want to change dollar or Pound sterling;

1. Go to appropriate places where legal and operational Bureau De Change is/are located.
2. Look for a bureau de change shop or office and go in, don’t transact at the entrance.
3. Meet the owner of the business/shop, not the surrogate/boy/mallam/loafers.
4. State the reason for your visit and agree on the exchange rate first
5. Allow them to give you the cash equivalent of your agreed sum before you hand over your cash. This is to avoid fake money or lost
money.
6. If you come with a car, don’t transact business through the windows of your car, come down and do the business.
7. Check the correctness of your money before leaving the premise.
8. Have a dedicated customer whom you transact with every time.
9. Do business with a ‘mallam’ first before any other tribe. This is my suggestion though.

Good luck to you all!

I had similar case at the same Alade market.

Well, they have been doing that for years and I know think they use diabolical means to execute this scam.

I was scamed at this same airport hotel two years ago when I went to convert my naira to dollars for a proposed trip.

They gave me incomplete money and they recounted it while I was watching them. In all they scamed me of over 50k that day.

Since then, if it's not the bank or the airport
Bureau de change, it's nothing oo

Take heart broken, someone else is being scammed at this hour at the same location.

Cheers

President Muhammadu Buhari and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Tuesday, had a close door meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting between the duo lasted for about one hour at the President’s office.
However, Obasanjo refused to speak to journalists when Buhari accompaigned him to his vehicle at 4:17pm.

In his usual hilarious manner, the Ota farmer simply told journalists that approached him: “comot joo.”

It would be recalled that Buhari had on August 21 named Obasanjo as his Special Envoy to mediate and help find a solution to the crisis brewing in Guinea Bissau.

special envoy? Obj has gotten what He has always wanted. So can buhari probe such a man? With all d corruption he is sitting on? Nigeria is simply a game of chess with Obj as the master player all these one buhari dey do... He dosnt really knw what he is doing cuz PDP is still in govt. Let's see how long this Obj Buhari will last.

Nairalanders be wise! Especially in ikeja.
Re: The Day I Was Defrauded At Alade Market by Lexusgs430: 5:38pm On Sep 09, 2015
I simply change inside the international arrivals(not the mallams), Just before I walk through customs.
The safest and always the best rates.
Re: The Day I Was Defrauded At Alade Market by MrMcJay(m): 5:39pm On Sep 09, 2015
Last month, I was passing there and I saw this pick up truck of Military policemen in red berets. They arrested some hausa currency traders there and drove them in the direction of Ikeja Barracks. From the faces of those soldiers, I knew those Mallams would see 'change' that day.

Lastly it seems this is the first time you ever changed a foreign currency in your life.


Only a jjc will respond the way you did


Even the Hausa men that denied the identity of those guys are lying involve the police and arrest then and see the truth come out asap

This trick is as old as 1990 and I am surprised people still fall for it.

Do not change money on road side anywhere in Lagos. They will always short change you no matter how fantastic you think the rates is or how smart you think you are.

In fact, they knew you were a mugu immediately you choose to go for the guy with the higher rate

Never deal with any other tribe except and hausa man,when exchanging your currency and do it at the airport or in a registered office, if any one scam you at the airport, that's it for that he will never set foot at that airport again.

Because he brought a bad name for the real money exchanging "mallams"

Sorry for your loss mate and thanks for the tips. It was a well orchestrated scheme and no one could have suspect there's a hidden plot to shortchange and steal their money with the manner it was carried out. You where lucky you were exchanging only a hundred dollar bill. Your loss would have been enormous were the transaction more.

I don't transact exchange with anyone else but only confirmed mallams and I only hand over the money after counting in the car. Apart from the very few extremist elements we have in the north, northerners are the most sincere and honest people to do monetary transaction with. I remember over paying one a £20 bill one time and he returned it after counting. Hardly you'll see any other tribe do that if not Hausa. Some could even chip in fake notes if one is not careful. Sickening!
