I CHECKED, BUT DIDNT SEE ANY DETAILS ON THE NUMBER. I CALLED HIM THOUGH, TOLD HIM I NEEDED TO BUY DATA AND HE SAID HE WOULD SEND ME THE DATA, BUT I WONT BE ABLE TO ACTIVATE IT TILL I SEND THE CASH TO HIM. I TOLD HIM HOW DOES HE EXPECT ME TO TRUST HIM WHEN I READ ABOUT HIM DUPING SOMEONE ELSE JUST NOW. HE CLAIMS HE DIDNT DUPE ANYONE. I JUST ADVISED HIM THAT IF HE DID, HE IS ONLY LAYING UP CURSES ON HIMSELF. HE THANKED ME SHA FOR THE ADVICE. MY OPINION IS THAT NIGERIANS LIKE AWOOF TOO MUCH AND THAT IS WHY WE GET SCAMMMED EASILY... IMAGINE HIM OFFERING ME 10GIG DATA FOR 2,500. IF I WAS GREADY, I WOULD EARGERLY JUMP TO IT NOTY KNOWING THAT I WAS DEALING WITH A SCAMMER... PLEASE WE SHOULD ALL BE WISE. "WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING, IN ALL YOUR GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING"...BIBLE

bigbabyboy:

thanks alot

I have been duped last year by one moniker here on nairaland that pasted one advert like that. I called him and after speaking at length with him telling him am scared he may be a scammer, at a time he said if am not serious i should stop busying his phone so he wouldn't miss potential customers trying to call him. Later I decided to try him with 1500 mtn card and till today no megabyte and he refuse to pick my calls.
This is his own number 07031350573 Please you guys should also try to track down the info about this number too.

HIS NAME IS AKINLADE JAMES. EMAIL IS SHOLAEMMANUEL@GMAIL.COM. SAW IT ON TRUECALLER. TRIED CALLING HIM TOO, BUT HE ISNT ANSWERING...

iykekelvins:
Sorry Bro.. It happens

You should have just bought directly from MTN..They have bundles for #1000

do you mean BB bundle or ordinary mtn bundle that one can use on android nw sell at #1000

That guy's name is actually Kola Ig, have done a brief investigation on him. Below is the text I sent to him, so op, we can trace him if u want, here's my number 09098339209


Mr kola Ig gud evening, a friend of mine just reported ur cheap scam activities to me, u duped him of 3k today, & am sure u ve been doing this. But i want to assure u that ur end has come, be sure u refund him his 3k b4 today ends. It's people like u that made NCC instilled SIMs are registered.

bigbabyboy:


I am never buying data from ressellers either online or offline again. Tried it for the first time yesterday and got my fingers burnt. Anyways, God dey!

Broda I won't blame u, u have every reason to have trust issues.

clemzo101:
Im sad not because of the money but because I never thought I could ever get defrauded and even if I will be defrauded, not in d manner this happened, because mehn it was just too cheap.

I have a bb and a Lumia fone, I usually subscribe my bb den hotspot my Lumia, but I got to a place with poor network and I needed to takia of alot of things online and I got to understand MTN network is good around here. So I resulted to buying data, I remember a friend bought data once from someone and I saved the number just incase.

So I checked my fone and luckily I saw it, I contacted the guy, he quickly sent me an image showing different packages on Whatsapp, so I opted for the one of 1500 for 2gig, I told him I cant send recharge dat he shld send his bank details but he gave me an excuse and said I can transfer so I immediately loaded my fone through mobile banking and sent, only for him to call apologizing dat he just discovered all dats left is a 4gig package dat will xpire in 60days, dat he's very sorry dat I shld pls kindly send anoda 1500, I got angry and still sent d 1500, since I will be staying here for a while and Mtn being d only good network, I still didn't get any data, it was wen I called again to challenge him dat d whole thing bcam clear dat its all scam when he started saying I shld send anoda 1500.

Im just sharing dis for everyone to beware of so called online data sellers. Most of Dem are fraudsters.

The fone number 08147631591, bbm pin 59093EBD.....He calls himself Mr Kay.

Beware

Post his bank account details

This one just one spoil business for some of them. Atleast Ndulex is real and not a scammer

MTN night plan still rocks.

3gb from 9pm to 6am

1.5gb during the daytime.

All for 2500.

*****************

If i'm buying shared data, we must see face to face.

Sorry,,,,o!,take heart!

I really appreciate the mods for helping push this to front page so that others can learn. For those calling me names, its fine! Guess you don't know the meaning why post mortem is carried out, its to know how the person died or was killed so dat odas wll not fall for the same thing. Im more than 3k, God will pay him back in his own coin.....karma will judge him, 3k will finish latest dis evening or tomoro, just like someone said what nxt wen he finishes spending the 3k? Its just unfortunate Nigerians cant be trusted.

Basildvalour:
Even with the GLO you buy from, do they have any data package that last for 2months?

Mr. man stop acting like a smart ass! Read the post.

Sunbellar:

Post his bank account details

if u read my post carfully u will see where I talked about him giving me his account number but he brought up some excuses and opted for VTU

Nobody defrauded you, lemme put dis way, u defrauded urself.

Shitz happens, jst not your day but 1day for de owner

Sijo01:


Where in my post did you get that?

Because you know the guys name.

thanks for ur concern bro

His real name is bukola francis, u need to add him to have full access to his account! The guy his every site n forum

Freelanswer:
Now, you don't have to look down on yourself for doing this. Businesses take place across the net everywhere and Nigeria can't be an exception. The situation you found yourself was a perfection one to take advantage of the www. You're totally in order. Instead, the cheap scam artist should look down on himself for sacrificing his online reputation for trifles. Please, is the scam artist on NL? Is kay his Nairaland username? Thank you for caring enough to report this, but kindly provide more info, let's help spread the word to discourage such useless trash. There are so many ways to make money than scams. Honestly, scam is now the more costly option online. Even if you go with monikers, eventually people trace you by other ways (like IP, phone contact, bank information, etc) and your online reputation is ruined for life. The bottom line is: you can't really be successful online by way of scam.

clemzo101:
He has even blocked me on Whatsapp, all I have on this scammer is the name he uses on BBM and fone number and pin 08147631591, 59093EBD

Take his number to MTN customer care and the police station. They'll trace him using the sim registration details he provided. He must have done his BVN too, they can lure him via his bank. You can get justice if you want it.

tse1v1:
SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY PEOPLE NEVER CHOOSE TO LEARN..............CALL YOUR SERVICE PROVIDER IF YOU NEED DATA....................GREEDYNESS KILLS FASTER..............IF I ASK YOU JUST 500 NAIRA AM SURE U NO GO GIVE ME CHAIIIII SEE AS YOU LOOSE 3K

checked the idiot on Facebook his name is Bukola francis, it seems he has taken all info on his fb down . added the fool he blocked me on whatsapp haha, let's all report his number as fraud on whatsapp

Op, its one of those things. Take heart and move on. You didnt lose, its those genuine merchants that live on this data sharing business that will lose. This kills morals and erodes the confidence of potential buyers who will rather not buy from genuine merchants. Fraud does not pay, harwork does.

sure I know I can nail him if I want to but I don't want to spend any more money, the police and dere problem with money. I actually just want people to learn from my mistake.....as far as im concerned his life can never be d same again. He's coursed for ever

There are data packages for 2 months , please check well

Adebowaletunji:
is a pity dude but u were plain silly.

Madam, the insult is not necessary. Haven't u made a mistake before?
I equally buy airtime from airtime vendors because direct mtn data is very expensive, and I refuse to be dashing mtn free money. I know a lot of people in this forum do it too. The key is to find a reliable vendor and stick to him.
OP, I feel ur pain, it's one of those things in life. U win some, u lose some.

ogawisdom:


Mugu don fall, AWOF/cheap dey run belle

N1,500 for 2gb is not cheap/awuf my friend. I can't even pay that amount for 2gb.

neocortex:


Because you know the guys name.

Is that enough reason for you to conclude? Be careful with the way you jump into conclusion so you don't break your legs next time.
