Lady, it is sad and it really hurts when I hear things like dis. My advice is that you should not delete the lady's pin but do not communicate with her for now.

Trust me, she will get back to you after a while (don't know when that will be). It is even possible that you were set up by people who know your pin; I mean those who know you.

If she later talk to you, just be nice and calm but don't even talk about any money or Job. Let's see how your meekness will get to her because this person might still have conscience. She probably might one day send ur money back. kiss

For now, your money has entered voice mail and you can only learn from the situation if you don't get it back. By now, you should have known that no proper company want to collect from you, instead they are the ones that wanna pay you.

Sometimes the answers lie within. If you feel you should repay your friends & they accept then do & be free of the burden. If they insist it's not needed then it's OK, don't feel too bad. Mistakes happen all the time to anyone. If your friends love & care about you, they would understand. At least you thought about helping them get a job that's why you told them. I know it's not easy, I've been there myself & spent far more. Don't let it weigh on you, it's just life so move on, be happy you're alive & well. It's a story for you to tell someone else.

Yeah right! Thank you very much!

That account dosent belong to any agent/friend. That account belongs to the dude masqueraing as a female.
I bet OP didnt grow up in lagos. I doubt if a lagos brought up can be so cheaply scammed.

See, enough of all this razzmatazz.
Much ado about nothing... thank God you have the account details.
What do you think BVN was introduced for? Go to the police.
If someone can help to police cos of a stolen BlackBerry Curve 2 and Aunty Linda can go to commissioner of police cos of ordinary wizkid threat; I see no reason why you can't file a complaint a the station too.
Forget it, Nairaland can't help u on this.

Okay, I am not insulting you but then, you need to get a grip of yourself!! You were/are to slack. As at today, you ought to have reported to the bank yesterday, because it's obvious there is no job anywhere. They would trace it for you and i bet if they tell you they can't find the person or don't have an accurate information about him, then you threaten to involve the police. At this particular time, I'm sure Fidelity Bank doesn't want anymore defamation. Shebi job no kuku dey, na make Fidelity around you be your nearest working place now. You can't lose twice...

If you report to the. bank you paid into, they might be able to do something. But I doubt you'll get a refund. By the way what's an ushering job?

Oh ok! I think a dictionary will help you more with the meaning of ushering.. Thanks anyway..

I know I'm gonna get lots of insults for this but please don't forget to add your constructive advice to the insults. Thanks in advance..

I'm a Graduate seeking employment and have bills to pay.. I joined some channels on BBM where I get lots of information, some time ago, someone posted a BBM pin of a person who offers ushering/weekend jobs. Being broke and needing to get some legal and fast money, I added the pin and it happened to be a woman.

She sends BC's of jobs she has and most times she'll tell me I can't do jobs like that cz I'm a Muslim and I wear hijab. She said if I can pay agency fee to her friend, I could get ushering jobs from him.

She has been on my list since February and we talk once in a while, last week she said there was a 3day job in ikeja and I could participate if I paid 7k as agency fee. Without thinking, I transferred 7k to the account number she gave me and even invited 3 of my friends who also paid. I asked her for the address of the venue but she said I should wait till she finished compiling the names of the girls that had paid, so that she could send it to the agent and then get the address. This was Wednesday night.

On Thursday morning, we got ready and set out to beat the traffic from Alagbado to ikeja hoping she would send the address since she said the event was to start by 11am. We got to ikeja some minutes to 11 and then she said we couldn't work last week, we should bear with her and she would fix us for this week. I started pinging her and sent her a whole lot of messages but she didn't reply.. I asked for her number but she said she doesn't give her number to clients.

On Friday, she later replied and said I shouldn't worry, that we would work on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. And that she couldn't refund the money cz she has added our names to the list already and if we don't work on Tuesday and Wednesday, she will give us our money.

Yesterday was Tuesday, she hasn't replied any of my messages since Sunday but she has been reading them. But she still hasn't deleted me and the other people I gave her pin to.

What do you guys think? I'll post the information I have if needed.. Thanks in advance and please go easy on me!

Pls mod in charge! Help do the needful.. Thank you!

If you can do research job, I can link you with a marketing research firm in Agege, they need researchers from time to time and the pay is manageable pending the time you will get a good job.

I will advice you and your friends visits any branch of Fidelity bank to lodge a joint complaint and giving the bank three working days to produce the suspected scammer who happens to be their customer and threaten law suits if they fail to comply.

Am sure it will help in your recovery of the funds.

How much would you have earned had the job clicked? For you to spend 7k I'm wondering what would have been your take home pay for a 3day job.

This is one the reason why I don't do BBM... So many fakers on bbm, someone can pretend to be another gender just to get your hard earn money from you... My advice to you all BBM lovers, Ignore BBM and get real with Whatzapp... We still have fakers on whatzapp too but it hard to see one. #Justanadvise...

Try paste the bank account detail of the fraudster here and some banker could help you with her contact info - although, I know its against the policy of bankers to do so but in this situation and considering the amount involved, it may be hard for you to hire a lawyer or law enforcement agent to help you.

The only way we can all stop such bad habits is to be disgracing fraudsters publicly like this

The banker must remember to hide his/her own identity Ooº°˚ ˚°ºoo

Best of luck

Report the guy to the police and bank, the account can be blocked and with the new bvn the guy can't open another account cos there will be a red flag on his bvn. The money might be gone but the guy need to be stopped from scamming other people. Don't just sit make an effort to report his account.

I have made it a personal attribute now to make sure i offer service before collecting money and not deduce myself into a ripper i hope ppl change for good and stop duping ppl.I won't talk too much sha to all the thieves or God's children that have become corrupted by our needs,greeds and selfish desires change,for a network savvy person like me i can get anybody that takes money from me now,the facilities are in place now unlike 5 years ago.I won't advice the lady what to do the woman may change tomorrow so i'll stop @ that.Nigerians stop stealing.It takes a complicated process but very soon ppl will be walking with big brother following them behind because of irresponsible actions like this.Na agency fee.one way or the other jobs will come.You don't have to play dodgy the woman has entitlement to the fee she isn't scammed as long as the service will be provided when ever a job comes from,except if she steals it.Agency fee are normally paid at the office where portraits and pictures of you will be taken.I worked as a P.A. in an agency in Ikeja that remains me i can direct you to somewhere u can track her,if na Ikeja there's 2 places we meet i can tell you where to go.LOL i just remember o...I can even give you the boss i worked with number he knows the ppl in the industry and can direct you
