I Was Scammed For An Fg Job That I Thought I Was Paying For. by sleemfesh: 6:28pm On Oct 13, 2017 |
So I fell for it. Yea. I can't say I didn't smell it earlier but circumstances didn't allow me respond more appropriately. Lessons learnt. Long story short, an in-law who is a medical scientist wanted to help as he heard I had quit my regular job. He'd been approached by an intern colleague of his who said a man had connection for a fed job. He got to me, I spoke with the man and ended up paying 25,500NGN for the supposed job. He said I will be earning 125k a month and will pay a part to the arrangers of the job for six months. A couple days later he said he has finished only that I was posted to Borno state and that he is not happy that the place is war torn due to Boko Haram. Right there and then I knew I had entered one chance things. I decided to play along. He said the people are also asking for extra 100k to move me to a better state. I told him there was no such money on me and I'm not able to get it lent to me. I asked to get the job and I will pay it back from my salary. He said that was not applicable. After so much talk, I told him to have me posted anywhere it is that I don't mind. He would later stop picking my calls so I decided to goad him by saying I wanted to see if I can still pay for the reposting. He replied saying that he cannot send someone where is not good that if I cannot source the money he will refund me. I replied shaperly saying he should please refund me. This is almost three weeks and no show. I promised him I'm taking the case to the social media if he doesn't pay me back my money today. Following will be details of the man and his associate so that folks will beware of them. Phone number 08067328963 Name according to TruCaller is "Mr Mike" Account no he said to pay to goes thus: Account name: IKE BLESSING IFEOMA. A/C No = 3573064843. Bank Name: ECO BANK PLC. PS: Anybody with information on how to take these guys up should drop a comment. I have also attached screenshots and a record of one of our calls. I have other call records with me too. This is a link to the voice recording of our call and him requesting the money which I uploaded at Vocaroo. https://vocaroo.com/i/s1dWOTR5DKwe

N25,500? That's more like a donation to charity na. Except if you mistakenly omitted an extra or more zeroes. *Modified* You said the person in question is an in-law. Have you tried hashing out the issue familially, before escalating it to this level? 1 Like |

Had a similar experience today. And was told that the purpoted recruitment is for NSCDC. Searched for the contact details using true caller and got a certain mr Mike as a response. I was asked to pay #22500 for the alleged recruitment and processing fee which I turned down instantly. I only 'lost ' #200 which I used in buying the call card I sheepishly sent to one of his collaborators so he could plead with their oga to give me the form for the alleged recruitment and that I would reimburse him later when the employment comes to fruition. That was when things began to fall apart and the centre couldn't hold again. Ndi ori! Scammers! 2 Likes |

Called the number,the waste pipe immediately swore he is going to kill his family not me. His voice alone is a giveaway. Forget the money, the hungry twit can't pay back even in a million years. Give him good publicity. I can work with you on this. Moving forward, avoid shortcuts! 2 Likes |

toprealman: Correct analysis there. I am already spreading the info as wide as I can. These guys can't keep getting away with things like this. Imagine having a bank account to work with with all the BVN applicable. I am working the bank angle to see if someone gets picked up. Lemme know what more info you need that I can provide. I will gladly do so. |

No one will blame the scammer, no one will help you in tracking the scammer either. It is you they will blame. It is no news and we know how many times co-operations and even government have warned about advanced fee fraud. Who gives an offer without an interview? You are just a lazy being.. you think that is how connect works. Equip yourself with the right info and stop crying over your folly. 3 Likes 1 Share |
