I believed you're more than the said 600k. Just count your losses and move on, let karma deal with her. As I wouldn't want your life to be cut short, all because of an amount that's not worth it.

PS: Life is hard, the woman could go diabolical all because of you. Be guided!

You have spoken pure wisdom. She should let it go. The culprit could go diabolical to close the case. This could end in sorrow for the swindled lady or family.

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?

Same thing happening in my family right now.Couple of years ago, my Aunt called my mom & told her about some plots of land for sale. My Aunt said they were selling @ 18,000 USD. My mom didn’t even tell my dad.I was the only person she told.She quickly sent the money through two girls who were traveling home.After a while, the story changed.Aunt told mom that she didn’t make the purchase because someone said that she was about to be conned.My mom wouldn’t have thought anything of it coz her sister had a nice job. Over these years, my Aunt was always vacationing with her kids outside the country.Few years ago, she decided to go on early retirement.All efforts from mom in an attempt to get her money back, have proved futile.It’s been one story to another.Yet she Aunt is still living in an expensive neighborhood & her life is going on well. Mom will be taking the matter before the family this August & if that fails, then she’ll have to take a legal action.Moral of the story .is that you should trust nobody even your own sibling.If you are gonna give money that’s a big amount in your standards, Have a written agreement & witnesses, Incase things turn sour later.

The entitlement mentality of people in this country is too much.

People have the right to refuse you money, they owe you nothing.

It is not about the size of her account. Some people naturally hate to be scammed. It makes one look like a f00l. Steal 10k from them, they will use 100k to haunt you. Some people are like that, it is very natural unless you didn't work for your money.

If I were in her shoes, I would even arrest whoever comes to beg or plead to leave everything to God, including you. Before you plead on her behalf, ensure you have a means to refund the money. A relative or friend that scams, can kill.
God bless you for this, many dont understand

She didn't try at all, next time don't trust people that much, and before buying any land, C of O should be ready so as to have proof of ownership of the land.

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.
WILL YOU KEEP QUIET? U THAT IS TALKING IF YOUR OWN RELATIVE COME TO ASK YOUR FOR 600K WILL YOU GIVE HIM OR HER , SOMETIMES WHEN WE SAY SOMETHINGS LETS THINK IT TWICE BEFORE SAYING

Did you really type this ??,?,,

You must have lacked basic vitamins of life like love, empathy , common sense , etc

May you find yourself in the poster's shoes very soon.

If you can't and won't help , the next thing is to be scammed?

You need a master class in common sense and objectivity...
The writer you quoted might be a 'yahoo- boy'; whose remaining conscience is already dead and buried. I believe that Nigeria would be a good case- study of Hobessian societies- where these societies become nasty , brutish and short.
