We met on olx.. I haven't heard of this before! !I was so ignorant! All I need now is a solution! I received the allert and I had to unlock my iCloud for him!! When I got to the ATM there was nothing in there! !Pls help me out! !

So sad!...
Now the issue is that the SMS might not have came front the sim...

If you see the person now what is the proof you sold phone to him...

It sad but, every one should just learn to be real sometime do your transaction at a safe place.. Collect cash...

Why do you think online store did Cash on delivery?

I have sold 3 items on OLx Cash and carry..

Sorry bro.

I can't fall for this though.

I wouldn't want to say you're not smart but always take caution when money is involved in business especially those done online.

What the guy needs is solution(s) to his problem. Like someone said try and use a female trap you may be lucky. It worked for me when my wife's phone was stolen.

Op if its a brand new iphone their is little or nutin you can do about it but if its a second handed phone you can still tract its location by simply mailing iphone© what happened n provide dem wit you icloud details after which the will monitor every activity on d fone including facebook loggin, whatsap, google account, calls entry n lots of other things that will help yhu in ur search.... Sorry abt dat bro, its 1 of those tinz. Take life as its cumZ

yoged:
eh ya. sorry bro . one of the reason it's always good having mobile banking app on your phone. sharperly log in to cross check your account balance .

Na nokia been dey hin hand after the transaction. But seriously that mobile banking shii also has its pros and cons

ceejay80s:

Pls explain well

oga, where did u see his a/c bal on d pics All he needs is his fone no. Then he wld send a customized msg to him

Scammer Alert!!! Who Can Help Catch This Scammer


I sold an iPhone to this scammer and he did a bank transfer.. I received d alert thinking the money was in and we parted ways. Little did I know that I have just been scammed and it was a fake credit alert. His phone no has been switched off but his whatsapp no is going... Who can help trace him... BEWARE OF BANK ALERTS

The guys no is 09050587873...please help trace him and help me

Take his Mobile number to Glo office and confirm de guy details.


but wait oooooh...
Seller and de buyer never tell us the real truth of the matter self.....

@OP

One thing I can bet on this issue is that the alleged scamer didn't register sim of the phone directly. So, even if you involve any of the security formations, you will end up messing the life of an innocent person.

Well, if you have any proof of ownership of the said phone, tell me, I may find a solution to your need.

Abeg go charge ur fon jare

Seriously speaking... I withdrew from ATM since 6 pm..
Debit alert entered my Email .instant
.. Just now SMS alert came after 2 hour...

Nigerian security is still learning....

This just a big lesson for all of us...

ZuzuMan:

Biko, which one is fake text detector app?

How can some people be so insensitive? Someone is in dare need of ur help/advice n all u can do is mock n laugh at him? Who knows it all? If u don't have any helpful info or advice, why don't u move on to another post? All these people acting "Mr Know it all" can be so dumb outside Nairaland. Because he has no idea about this, now he's stupid huh? Smh! Pls receive sense before it's too late. Op I guess u should report to d Police let them help u track d guy through telecommunication! It might cost u a little but at least, get that Bastard behind bars before another person falls victim.

I feel your pain. In life, they say, sometimes you win, sometimes you learn (you never lose!). It's Just that the tuition for some lessons could be quite huge, just like the one you're going through now. I can help by reducing the cost of this lesson for you, if you can post your account details and I will send something to you to mitigate the loss. I will only send to the account under your signature so other Nairalanders need not bother! (You don't need to send it if you think it's another scam). All the best bro!

Lock your iphone, if you still have access to the icloud account.

Not trying to sound insensitive here , but the whole thing looks planned. I don't trust the op. His story is too scanty.

dammyjay93:
You guys calling the op names should stop that childish attitude, it could easily be any of you, nobody is perfect...OP my own idea, if the number is regular on whatsapp just find one fine babe wey go help you set up the nigga, she'll get close to him online and shii then she sets up a meet and viola! You go for the kill

You are right on point. Forget about tracing the number. Police won't even take this far, besides scammer uses registered lines that they buy by road sides. If his Whatsapp is working, then try starting up a fake relationship with him. That might help.

Missonas:

I believe he has a browsing phone .. like me, got Nokia phone for my calls and android phone for browsing . .

As someone earlier advised,using a lady profile pix on whatsapp..
But on a second thought,am sure he just got that sim for this scamming transaction and he has disposed of it.

ceejay80s:


Yes he can be traced, take his number to the police or efcc, somebody registered that number with photo capture and address and also with an I.D card

Also try using truecaller app to see if his identity showed up.

I just caught a stalker through it, you don't wanna hear the rest. but truecaller na baba

Well I saw this coming in the future. I told my bank last few years that I want to see my alert only on my email. Email is the fastest way to get alert and I have been using it to for my sale of powerbanks, memory cards and other accessories.

In all honesty someone should tell me.. Are Nigerians not "Horribly Fantastically Corrupt" ??

Very Terrible set of West Africans !!!

I would have suggested that you use the find my iPhone app to get his location but I'm sure the phone is switched off and you must have restored it back to factory settings prior to selling.

God bless U! Like I don't get it, it beats my imagination. I know how bad this guy is feeling now, I know how I felt when I was robbed. I lost my two phones, laptop and some money. It wasn't funny at all.

Op u can give this a trial, who knows. It might work. I wish I can help

My thoughts exactly, you don't have any reasonable contribution to the problem positively, short the f**k up and stop being irritating.

If it's iPhone,then track it through find my iPhone app,if the phone was yours in the first place.

Easy to track.

Iroroghene:
Fraudsters everywhere. It's so unfortunate you fell for this one. You should have sold it on Jiji.

And how would he avoid that by selling on jiji? Does jiji have the database of every potential buyers?

I feel for the op,God punish dat bastard!

You can take this up, it would just take a while to get your money back. Report to the EFCC or the police
