Abeg, make una take am easy 1) One can get a good Android @ computer village for 20k 2) You can patronise the street show glass guys/babes they are different from street hawkers, but they sell chinko version 3) Street hawkers/boys don't even talk to them when they approach you, ignore them totally they will realize you know whats up. 4) Some of those street boys are ex convicts trying to make a living, i know what i am talking about. 5) Buying from any shop is guaranteed. 6) The seller is not the IDIOT here, he is a THIEF[b][/b] a smart one 1 Like |

ProIyke: My attention is drawn to 2 things in the op. First, you learnt the wrong lesson and second, you are the idiot, not the guy. He's just street smart, though a crook. In summary, I'm merging my 2 observations to recommend thus: 1. Road side sellers are not the problem. 2. What happened to you, can also happen in a shop or the altar of a church. 3. Never ever pay until you have verified your product. Either in a shop or anywhere else. 4. Never show too much enthusiasm or your luck. 5. Never take a vendor to the ATM. Dismiss the bargain or promise to be back, collect phone number then withdraw and go back. 6. Taking him to the ATM gives you out as JJC and vulnerable, then it shows that you have a lot of money left in your account. 7.This is the most important LESSON: Whenever you are receiving money from anybody, always count. Do not release the product in your hand until you are sure. This applies anywhere, at home with friends or at church. This is because there might be a missing note or 2, which would make your loved ones doubt your integrity, that is, in case you come back later to say it's not correct. 8. Whenever you are buying tech products, hold cash and ensure you stay longer cross-checking the product before you pay. You can be playful, or asking other things just to ensure all is well. Some products will show their true colours after a few minutes. Laptop batteries are culprits. 9. Always collect receipt. 10. Don't be in a hurry or at least, dont show it. 11. Always do a little research on any major purchase you want to make henceforth. Google is not only for music download. If you had spent 30mins on the TECH section on Nairaland, you would have landed with a no-tale deal or at least, have an idea of the varieties of what you want, specs, pros and cons etc. 12.Welcome to Lagos. Shine your eyes. 1 Like |

krattoss: though that may not happen in ur life again but another may happen to u again. let me tell u my own story, 2009 I have but so called fufu, though I fell into trick because I was greedy. because Nokia express music just came out and it was around 16k. but that particular day, I took 4k to computer village to buy a phone, has I was pricing phone in a shop, I saw a guy calling me to buy an express music phone, I laughed because my money couldn't buy that. but he asked me to say how much with me. but immediately I realise dat d guy na jagba (pocket picker), I boldly told 4k and he ask me to bring my sim card to test d phone, as he did dey put d sim, he ask me to bring d money, I tested d phone, and even called with it, when I dey count d money na DAT time he change the phone to empty casing with fufu inside so DAT it will be strong. as he gave him d money, he said police was looking at us DAT he dey go chap chap, i was happy DAT me don see cheap phone. but as d guy don't go, I was happy to check the phone but surprisedly d phone was fufu. I first sweat, but I dey consoling myself because I know na my greedy caused that. coming to my statement that ' if u have fell victim like me does not mean u cant fall to another trick even if u are not greedy again'. though I thank God that u share ur own trick because I never know DAT they don add DAT one again. let me continue, after 8yrs I fell into their trap, since then I thought I done become Lagos boy DAT don wise, bro na lie o. l went to computer village to sell my phone Worth 10k. I met a guy with a cool face at otigba street, thinking DAT this one couldn't handle me, we negotiation to 7k and I agree. d guy begin to carry waka, immediately I told him I am not selling my phone again but he beg me DAT he want to collect money from his brother, I sald OK. we met three giant guys with amugbo face, he gave them d phone to check and dey him some money to give me, but immediately he counted d money, he begins to angry with those guys that am his friend and he can't sell the phone for that amount. I thought he was with my side not knowing DAT it was another trick. he gave me d money to count, it was 5k and immediately I begin to shout that dey should giv me my phone that am not selling again. but they started saying dat na d same phone someone stole from one shop that d police was still on d case. I started knowing there trick. no sooner than latter, another guy came to d show and he started acting as if he dey my side, he said chairman don't mind them, since I have my receipt in pocket here, I should follow them to any police station but I told him I didnt have my receipt again, the guy started advising me that I should just take dat 5k like that because police will collect d phone and d 5k, they can even arrest me. immediately I begin to clap for all of them that they are gud. pls guy buy ur phone in another place rather than computer village because is a village of fraudsters. I know some will say na only slot and 3c hub or what do dey call them? since I believe in all dis ibrand phone seller, I decided to patronise one, last 2months, I went to 3c hub at computer village to buy itel s511 for my office sug, which was tagged 26,500k. I paid that amount but since I don't believe that they can trick me too, I didn't bother to check my voucher. but when u got to surulere where my office dey, in other to tender d receipt to d accounting officer, she asked me about d remain change because I suppose to buy d phone 26,500k but dey wrote 24k inside d receipt. since today I never get my money back. pls guy if at all u want to buy phone computer village pls shine ur eyes! 1 Like |
