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!
The scammer is a man, not a woman. Please post all your chats with him including his e-mail address.

U can still lodge a complaint at the bank. Let them know it is a fraudulent account.

Or

Just count your losses and move on.

Okay, l agree that you are a silly but that is beside the point.

This is a case of 419, fraud.

She used deception to defraud you.
I am angry that someone would defraud and take advantage of a person in your position, a job seeker! angry angry

Now,

1.) Lets start by printing all these chart messages where she promised you a job

2.) Secondly, go to the bank and get the account details (name, number, e.t.c) you paid the money into. If they would not give you, go back inot your own bank online account and print out the details of the beneficiary from there (Just act like you want to do another transfer and it would bring up the account details of the owner)

3) File a written complaint/petition at the EFCC or Fraud Section at Milverton rd, Ikoyi.
Let them take it from there.jail is knocking on their door undecided

I tell you, only a foolish person like Olisah Metuh, uses a bank account to defraud someone, in 2016!
Those days are long gone! Even Kidnappers have stopped taking ransom by bank.

Its sad but I guess the total you and ur friends paid was 7k x 4 = 28K.

Just pray if my plans work out this month I will reach you for 28K deposit into your account smiley.

Pls dont thank me or depend on it cos I haven't done it just pray.

Just thank God you only lost money and not your prestige (hope you understand what I mean). Just move on or else your 7k will just be your first installment and you might end up paying with your body too.

Re: I Think I've Been Scammed.. Please What Can I Do? by Lionhearted511: 10:04pm On May 04, 2016
I have followed all the responses and advice given to op and concluded that a lot of persons here don't even know what's happening here in Lagos. Though i can't absolve the op from blames but a good number of persons talking here will still fall for this trick. It's standard practice here for job scout agents to collect upfront fees before giving out job offers or links. Some even suggest an agreement of collecting a certain percentage of ur first month salary. So with all these, it'll be pretty difficult for someone who isn't so witty to avoid being scammed. Where i blamed the op is that she should have known the person one on one and met physically at her office or at least know she's gotten a traceable address before parting with her money

I registered for d same job on a website some weeks ago, eventushers.com or something. I submitted a few personal info n pic n they sent me a mail that they v hired me cause I am best fit for d job, without interview or seeing a full pic o. they also said I should pay 5k for reg fee, that was it. I figured such agencies make money by taking their commission of ur pay, but they must get u a job first, that way, its a win win or lose lose situation.
I kinda believe you have been scammed. wait for a couple of days more u may report to d police, with d account number, the fraudster can be traced . good luck sis
