After my own experience with a similar fraudster last year here losing 20k, I have vowed never to send money to anyone unless the job is done first. Let's hear the side of d defence and hope he comes up with a good reason.

I just hate wen ppl collect money and fail to remit it after a failed transaction.

twinskenny:
Unlocking thing can be tricky some time... I usually do a check for free before payment.... Even the oyinbos go tell u say dey need to confirm if they can unlock it

In as much as I hate to write this epistle(in part cos I also sell here and also cos am human), I had no other choice but to bring it to public opinion, so that great minds can help to "judge" if am being irrational and for others to also learn.
Sometimes last month, [b]I ordered a phone via craiglist in USA through one of the trusted vendor on NL [/b]offering such services, after my conversation with the seller, I was convinced and I concluded the deal (lotta assumptions came into play), Oyinbo no dey scam , how foolish I was

if you paid for icloud removal and it wasn't successful then its 100% refund.

Fastforward, I got the phone and it was icloud locked, an iphone 6splus, chai I have been scammed.
I did few research online, some some sites offering icloud unlock but wasnt sure they are legit, I NEEDED SOMEONE I COULD TRUST AND INTERACT WITH, not some site where I just drop the phone IMEI and wait for few days.
I contacted Ndudichukwumah on the 8th of July, after seen some of his topics, I initially wanted to create a topic to ask for testimonies but dint wanna question his genuineness.
After some interaction with him, I later contacted him am ready to go ahead 22nd July to be precise
I understand how all this online thingy works, I asked him few questions to be sure am in safe hards;
1. WHAT ARE YOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS (I get the job done within 24-48hrs after transfer confirmation)
2. WHAT IS THE PROB OF SUCCESS ( testimonies have been flooding in)
3. WHAT HAPPENS IF UNSUCCESFULL (I give 5 working days ofr them to reverse the money from US and I get back to you, which is guarantee, all cash right? he answered YES!!!)
4. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO GET THE JOB DONE (Phone IMEI and activation page)
I asked agian what do you need to get the job done, he said nothing else.
I asked for his acct details, he sharperly send am, I transferred 30k to him, On a saturday, expecting to get the job done on Monday or Tuesday latest) oboy money don cast
I told him clearly Nairaland is our bond, we havent met but I trust him
Two days later, 24th July, he contacted me, his first line being "this is the reason why I always insist on customers let me run a check before Icloud"
Where is such coming from, did you recommend any check for us to run? The only check I talked about is knowing the Gb of the phone and you said 1k, which I dint approve cos obviously after "Unclouding" am gonna see that on the phone.
He told me the phone is refurbished that did I get it from China What
He gave me a screenshot of an IMEI check and showed its refurbished( A CHECK HE CLAIMED I ASKED FOR AND IT COST 1K) a free check online for that matter.
He laid the fears my money might be lost cos I dint tell him it was a refurbished phone from China and am to blame.
Damn bro, you mean you collect 30k from customers and you don,t troubleshoot before accepting jobs
Who does that in this 21st century?
4days later he told me his fears came to pass and "his virtual agent" told him it can,t be unlocked.
Really, money gone? Guess from my rant when he first came up with the claim, he told me the agent is willing to offer him 50% on his next service, now they are willing to negotiate?
Even despite the fact I told him he saw the info right from the first day, he was only waiting for an opportunity to withhold my cash and dint even go ahead with any unlocking in the first place, it was a perfectly planned game but he wasnt smart enough
I offered him to pay back 20k and I accept a loss of 10k, (am more than that) and my loss is a lesson that I shouldnt trust a fellow broda, he promised this weekend to refund me, told him he got till friday(since last weekend), even called him thursday(yesterday), he shouted on me, no qualms, friday don reach now
5.20pm today i called him twice he dint pick up, he text later telling me he only got 5k, and he is gonna pay 10k next weekend, guess thius dude loves weeeked(well he spent the whole 30k on a weekend so I understand )
Nairaland should help us look into the issue and tell me if am being inconsiderate, foolish or arrogant
Sincere and objective comments highly welcome
Other Nlanders should also learn from my mistakes and look before they leap
SORRY FOR THE EPISTLE AND MY GRAMMER

IF YOU DON'T DO PROPER CHECK BEFORE PLACING IC

1. Telling you because your device was Refurbished ( Is a Zero Excuse on iCloud Removal Ground) OUT OF LINE
2. You not asking for proper Checks & verification for Eligibility Status is a Big Mistake You Made (I must be sincere with You) YOU GOT LOOSE THERE.
3. IF Truly He place your Order and Showed you Proof of (In Process or Rejected Result with Good Reason from Server, Your Fund is GONE)


MY ADVICE.

Kindly drop your device IMEI here. I will check your device out and let you know IF its CLEAR or BLOCKED for iCloud Removal.
I won't Advice you process removal now cos its expensive.

Best Option: SELL IT AS SCRAP & LET GO OF IT.

JUST BE CAREFUL NEXT TIME WITH YOUR DEALINGS & STRIVE TO GET BETTER KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ISSUES.


GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
THANK YOU.

Am Still Surprised how you get yourself into all this.

Here. IF you've read my thread. You will see how I've clearly explained on NL on what and what to do/know when you find yourself in a situation of iCloud Lock.

Ask anyone who have ever contact me on iCloud Lock thats here on NL.

1. I first make it my priority to request for there device IMEI and do a check via free checks & Paid Checks (On my own Accord)
2. Will give you feedback about your Device Info, iCLoud Status and Eligibility Status for Unlcock (Whether or Not)
3. I give you the price according to your Lock Status .

Most People Run at this Price stage because the REAL TRUTH about iCloud Lock Status is that Its Never Cheap. To Unlock on iCloud Device On Clean Status price can buy an iPhone 5/5s . And on Lost Mode Status Can buy iPhone 4s 16gb/32gb Variant.

I've never force anyone & will never call you back after I've given you all details about your device. You can take it else to verify am perfectly sure IF the service is genuine as mine. You will get the same feedback.

In this case,

I would say You or Your contact Agent got something missed up somewhere, or HE knows little about the service (Just got a thread going because of the high price involve in the business) because to my understanding HE should have done all necessary checks on your device by imei even before he proceed to order your iCloud Removal Service.

WHY

IF YOU DON'T DO PROPER CHECK BEFORE PLACING ICLOUD REMOVAL SERVICE (BY ANY STATUS) , YOU WON'T BE REFUNDED !!

Its a Clear & Standard Terms & Condition Apply to this Service.

AM NOT HERE TO BLAME ANYONE

Ty207:
Ndudichukwumah come and clarify yourself

tumababa:


You said it all. They claim no r efund but they actually do refund if u are a regular unlocker. They wont apply if they dont do their own check. They must have refunded him.

But 30k for icloud on iphone 6S plus ? I think its a scam from d very start. Anyway, i stopped unlocking icloud last year so it might be very cheap now.

Good luck on getting back your money.

aberyomi09:

I kindly sent him the IMEI weeks even before proceeding with payment and asked him if it was possible, he answered yes (meaning he must have troubleshoot), dunno where refurbished is coming from when Icloud removal is a backdoor thing (and warranty shouldn't come into place).
The check he claimed he did gor 1k is even a free check, I could get the site when am on a system
Thanx man
