Yesterday afternoon, my cousin called for me to help verify something for them as I'm in Lagos.
His dad's long time friend on fb from abroad sent him a laptop, seemed everything had been a plot since day 1. He received the collection code and everything and was called to come for the pick up yesterday but as he stays in another state, he couldn't go so he was asked to send money for picking up the package (35,750)
He really doesn't understand how these things works so he sent the code number for the package and 7,500 which he actually thought he heard instead of 37,500.
So they reached me yesterday.. Gave me all the information, I called the number and a lady picked up..

Me.. Good afternoon ma, I am Chocolate calling from Lagos in respect to my uncle's package, as a matter of fact I am at the Etihad Cargo Dpt Zone 2 Murtala Mohammed Airport now for the collection and I am with the remaining balance with me.

Lady.. Excuse me please, you are not the one needed for the collection, your uncle should come and sign the documents by himself.

Me.. But ma, he is here with me that's what I was trying to explain to you., where are you?

Lady.. We don't collect cash, go and pay the money into the account given to him and don't ever call this number again.

I called her till forever but she never answered. My sister sent her a message and she replied warning us never to contact her again. I was tempted to rain abuses on her but I let go. Later called my uncle never to communicate with them again and not to send money to that account.

If they can do this to vulnerable 100 people, you can imagine how low they have brought themselves to.
Who told my uncle that you send money to private accounts for Cargo package collection? How was he intending for them to send it to his state after the payment even after her didn't sign? How come they no longer accept dollar and naira cash payment at the collection center!
We ask these questions and more and think deeper before making decisions on anything.. Here are the informatios they sent to him ranging from the account number they paid the 7,500 to the lady's number..

Ok

This is serious ooo. lalasticlala.

scammers everywhere.. God help us

If you ask that uncle, you may find out that the so called friend was not his real friend. Someone was just using the friends name as a front to scam him
I dare say the so called friend was even met on facebook. As in they both met on Fb and have never known each other before they met online.
This is a very common practice. My sister almost fell mugu too. Some random dude who was toasting her on Fb decided to be father Christmas sent her shoes, clothes, two types of BB phones(those days bb was the phone of choice for babes) Flat screen TV, gold necklaces etc. I asked her of she was planning to open shop with him in naaja,(as in if they want to start selling goods as joint biz) she said no. I say then it is scam. I called and told them I will come to see them that I am sure it was a mistake cos there was no reason for someone who has never met my sister to send such goods. They said oh, it's not a mistake, I said OK, I will come and see with my eyes. To give me address they gave me fake one. Though I was not interested in going. Not planning to fly to Lagos because of some 19 boy.
This happened some 6years ago.

She knows her game is up Na. You sou d suspicious to her. She would prefer you pay into her acct and wait till kingdom come for the package. The only reason she has not cut you off was that she was expecting you to pay much more than 7500 . So she is still hoping maga would pay more. If say he dropped the complete money, she would have changed sim or blocked you guys.

Weldone dear Spunky Chocolate. Such happened to me months ago, but its a bad market for that pervert as a friend on fb. Since then she has not been chatting with me talkless of coming online.

Scammers everywhere!
