Op please I like to buy $30 PayPal fund from'you, how do I contact you

Capitano1:
Hello Nairalanders,

Have got a little piece of my ordeal with Abiodun Morenikeji Opeyemi, Badmus Opeyemi and Zhongshan Artigifts Premium Metal & Plastic Co., Ltd (Chinese Merchant) regarding my Paypal Funds i sold that never came back.

It all happened on Friday morning June 10, 2016. I was in my room chilling when i got a whatsapp message from one Abiodun Morenikeji Opeyemi claiming he wants to buy PayPal funds worth over $1000 from me.

I told him i have $240.44 funds available and am ready to sell just $200 at the rate of 295 per dollar. He said his rate was 290 and we agreed.

Later on, we graduated in our conversation on whom to send cash first, either me or him.
He suggested i come visit him somewhere around Ikoyi, Lagos so we do the transaction in person but i declined and told him i was no where close to Lagos, and that Portharcourt is where am based, so he suggested further that if i have someone in Lagos, then we can route the transaction through him. All my friends are not around Ikoyi i told him and that the money is really small to involve a third party.

So from all these i felt he was real and genuine so i agreed to send first but that he will have to provide me his National Id card (NIMC) and current account balance bearing his full name, which he did the next day Saturday Morning June 11, 2016. On receiving these details, I noticed his account balance was not up to the $200 he wants to buy, His balance from the screenshot he sent was reading #22,969.78.
We concluded i send what is balance can take, which is $70.

So i asked for the paypal address and it was bearing a Chinese company name
Address is: acc@artigfts.com

So i sent the PayPal money with instructions stating clearly that they will have to balance me #20,300 within 20 mins of sending.
Its like i knew they might be scammers so i was setting road blocks.

After sending, to my huge surprise, Abiodun was now telling me he was driving, there is no network, he is on GTB platform, so many flimsy excuses. At that point, it dawned on me that have been scammed.

I quickly contacted the Chinese Merchant to put an hold on the shipment and that there is a dispute regarding this payment. i told them have not received my funds in Naira, and they should check the instructions i sent along the payment.

I got a reply on Monday 13th June 2016, via skype and i was referred to one Robert Lee which i guess is their sales Manager or something.

I narrated the whole ordeal to him and he was very helpful at that moment, he assured me i will get my money back and he will keep the money aside till this dispute is resolved. I was a bit relieved after such comments from him. So i decided to resolve the dispute from my PayPal account as it was affecting my profile in sending/receiving.
After this, he gave me their client's phone no. which is Badmus.

I was even surprised as i don't know such person, cause who i traded with was Abiodun Opeyemi Morenikeji and not Badmus. He gave me Badmus' number, and i called him, he told me he sent Abiodun to go get Paypal funds for him to send to China and that he was even angry with the way Abiodun was making the payments to China, cause he was paying in bits.
We talked and we became friends, he said he will contact Abiodun and ask for a refund from him, so my money can be sent back to me from China, meanwhile have been updating the Chinese on every step have been taking. And each report i make, the Chinese will always tell me to go resolve with Badmus as the goods is on hold and my money is safe and that $70 is really small, so i shouldn't worry much.

With all these i was a bit at peace once again. Days after days i kept calling Badmus, he gave me Abiodun's real number cause the one i had was fake which he used to scam me.

I contacted Abiodun and he said he never knew me, but on me sending his Id he was now saying he was very prepared for this and that he knows i will come with this.

Later on after so much pressure from me, he was now denying again saying he doesn't know me, he didn't do any business with me and i should go contact whoever i did business with and who is impersonating him with his real details that he is innocent.

I updated the Chinese once again on all these, same reply i got from them. I also updated Badmus, cause he was really very slow in the matter, no much concern from him, i was the one doing all the calling. Its my money so i didn't relent.

On one of the conversations with the Chinese i got to know Badmus bears Opeyemi has his surname.
It became so clear to me that i have been dealing with one family of fraudsters, i have been dealing with the Opeyemi's. The Serial Thieves i nicknamed them.

I decided to take legal actions but i felt the money was very small and i was far away from them. Still i didn't give up, and after so many weeks, i contacted Badmus again, i told him am ready to let go of 50% of the said funds, that we should resolve this once and for all cause it is over a month now. I told him to Contact the Chinese merchant and tell them about what i have raised. He said he would do so, i gave him their Skype id.
It was over 2 days, still he hasn't contacted them. So i asked the Chinese Merchant that i need my money as i have tried to resolve this issue yet their client is proving stubborn.

To my amazement, eh God !!!. Life ehn. I was shocked when they told me they have released goods to Badmus and that they dont have business with me. And i should go contact Badmus to resolve.

How is that even possible when i don't have anything else to hold on to.
It came as a rude shock to me, i was a bit down as it dawned on me that have lost everything, my money, my time and most of all, My trust.

Had it been i sent over a thousand dollars thats how the Chinese would have failed me.
Now i have issues with trust, i can no longer sell my PayPal even if it is $0 to any soul if it involves me sending first.

My conclusion here is
Abiodun Morenikeji Opeyemi,
Badmus Opeyemi and
Zhongshan Artigifts Premium Metal & Plastic Co., Ltd (Chinese Merchant)

are scam, they connived within themselves to fraud people of their hard earned money.

So i would strongly advice every PayPal seller to not send funds to that Chinese Merchant if it invloves you sending first cause they will give you high hopes and later they dash without looking back.

Also do not send funds first to those that do not price, and also to those that want you to to send first cause they will tell you the whole world.

Find screenshots attached.

I took my time to create these mockups for easier understanding.

Thank you all.

THE FULL STORY HERE :
https://www.nairaland.com/3404822/jun-10-transaction-btw-abiodunbadmuskelechi#50158445

I'm writing this write up to clear the air of the transaction done between

Abiodun,Badmus,Kelechi ThankGod and LUCKY UWADIE IGHODARO in respect of this post:

https://www.nairaland.com/3267015/how-defrauded-abiodun-badmus-chinese/1

I just saw the post yesterday and was so devastated to see how Lucky Uwadie Ighodaro

is impersonating innocent people.

Abiodun and Badmus were never related.They only met here on nairaland and has never even

seen face to face before even till now but transacting together has been good so far until

June 10 - 11, 2016 when on Evil Lucky Uwadie Ighodaro with number 07066913459 issue came

up.

BADMUS contacted me that he need fund to send to Chinese to buy some goods,initially i

have the funds but was unable to transfer to him directly due to PayPal issue so I

have to source the fund for him elsewhere so i posted on this platform of my needs for

100$ because I was able to get part from some friends but i needed 79$ to complete his

transaction.LUCKY UWADIE IGHODARO contacted me with this number 07066913459 and

sent a screenshot of about 240$ to me and I told him that i only need 79$ but he later

said he can only spare 70$.I don't know how he suddenly changed his mind cos he initially

said he had 100$.We bargain at the rate of 260/$ and he agreed.

We couldn't transact that day because it was late at night and he told me we will transact

the next day which is Saturday , June 11, 2016.So I save his number as 100$ on my

Whatsapp so I can know whom am dealing with.

Anyway i consented and he requested for my photo ID and Bank statement before he could

transact with me.He promised to send his own also.I never knew what was on his mind.I

never knew he is a scammer!I never know his intention is to use all the details on the ID

to Buy funds and impersonate with the ID and flee with the money!He later sent his ID and

then i found the name to be one NWAFOR JEREMIAH.So all the while I thought I was

transacting with Nwafor Jeremiah.The transaction was completed and on the paypal account i

found the names to be Kelechi ThankGod.He later sent a bank account details bearing LUCKY

UWADIE IGHODARO ,FIRSTBANK PLC - 3029983284 : I asked him why the difference in name and

that hope their will be no problem if i pay to the account but he said I should just pay

into the account because its Saturday 11th June ,2016 and he could only get the payment

through that.

So I transfered #18,200 naira payment to him for 70$ using the name he gave me on his ID

as remark only to see Badmus contacting me that someone raised a dispute on the

transaction and that the Chinese merchant forwarded to him the details.I was amazed to see

the name he input on the transaction .It was as if Abiodun is the one that sent the fund.I

don't know where Kelechi ThankGod got the #20,300 from.We never transact.I told him to

contact the person's number but he kept on accusing innocent people.

Later on i saw someone sending me a message on whatsapp that I haven't pay for the 70$ I

bought.He mention Badmus and sent the photo id to me to proof his claim.I told him no one

in his or her right sense will ever use his or her photo ID to defraud people.I work in a

financial institute and I know the consequences.I gave him details of Lucky Uwadie

Ighodaro and the innocent man's Photo ID , Nwafor Jeremiah he sent to me to show him that

the guy is nothing but an impersonator.

Later I went to the bank to report the fraud They told me to get use legal action.He's

being investigated and he's on the run now and am sure if he see this post he will run

further.

My conclusion is:

(1) Kelechi ThankGod is been unreasonable and what he did can earn him a huge fine in

court for having to post without proper investigation.

(2)Some moderators on nairaland may cause huge the owner huge fine and problems if taken

(3)KELECHI THANKGOD WITH NAIRALAND NAME capitalno1 SHOULD APOLOGISE TO BAMUS AND ABIODUN and pursue LUCKY UWADIE IGHODARO - 07066913459 WHO CONTACTED HIM FOR PAYPAL FUND OR ELSE FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF BLACKMAILING

to the court of law for blackmailing innocent people and approving some post at the

detriment of innocent people.

attached here are some evidences of transaction and chat uploads between me and Lucky

Uwadie Ighodaro saved as 100$ on Whatsapp.Other evidences are kept for legal action only

and would not be made public for now cos I believe Nwafor Jeremiah photo ID is

innocent.The person that got the bank payment to his Firstbank account did all the

scamming.I know if he see this post he will run further but he's being investigated.NEMESIS WILL SOON CATCH ON HIM.THAT I KNOW.
