How Family Member Scammed Me Of N800,000 - Lady by damiloladuke: 9:42pm On Apr 17, 2019
A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to narrate on how a family member scammed her of N600,000.

In her narration, she explained that he relative called her to inform her of a plot of land available for sale, which she agreed to buy and then sent her the money.

It was after the family member received the money, that stories upon stories now began to drip in. And now other members of the family want the matter settled amicably.

Read her post:

I’ve just been scammed of 600k by a distant family member. Now all my uncles, mom and Dad are begging me on top my money?

She called me ending of January and told me that her co wife wants to “urgently” sell her 3plots of land in the village at a very cheap price, i asked her how Legit the stuff was and she told me VERY LEGIT. Said the woman’s son is critically ill and needs urgent money for

Treatment. I said Ok i will send someone to check the land out. Which i did and everything checked out. 10th February, i paid the money to her and that was how story entered the matter. She then told me the woman already sold to someone else cos I wasn’t serious.

I said OK oya pay the money back naa she said I should wait that she have SEEN another land. I agreed o cos I wanted to buy another land, fence it and forget it for like 5-10years. Anyway, everyday she kept coming up with different excuses that the one

She saw, they are having family issues, another she saw the husband agreed but the wife said no. Another one she saw it’s deep in the forest. Only for me to get a call from my mom today telling me how She used some of the money to pay her kids’ waec/Jamb,medical

Bills then the rest she used it to pay off debtors, feed and start something for herself. I then asked my mom why didn’t she send the money back then ask for help? What nonsense? Hung up on my mom, called the woman back and told her if she doesn’t send the money by Month end

Both her, her husband and the kid writing WAEC will be arrested and transferred to a state Only i will know of. Next thing my parents and uncles are calling my phone and asking me to come back so we can settle it as a family? I told them if I’m traveling back it will be To get her and her family arrested. Now everyone is saying I’m OVERREACTING?

My anger is still boiling and I probably might do worse if I don’t see my money by month end. The most annoying part is that she HUNG UP on me when i was telling her i will get her arrested?

Get her arrested, she could have asked for assistance from you in the first place rather than putting up this scam.

Mine was 5M! Never in your life have any business whatsoever to do with any family member of yours.., if you must do, document it! Even documentation sometimes doesn’t guarantee that everything will go smooth!

OP said 600k, MOD said 800k..

Its possible she knew u won't help if she told u what she needed money for.
Anyway, u may need to settle this in house as ur family is already involved.

But on a more serious note that woman is wicked and dubious.

Forgive and move on.
Who should 'eat' your money if not a family member.
Blood is thicker than 600k. You've alleviated their poverty and that's ok

That was how my mum, sister and my step dad dupe me of close to 200,000 all for a land I wanted to buy for 500,000. I end up spending close to 800,000 on that land. some people think is easy to make money go out and work for your own money.

What annoys me is when they start saying you are over reacting. In some cases they will question why you should be angry

She actually did wrong but I prefer this kind of scammer than the ones that will scam and use the money for clubbing. Forget talk, assuming she asked you for help of such amount you would have told her stories. Arrest her but don't be too harsh, let her write aggreement to pay you in six months.
