See the long Process someone imagined just to scam 50k, if he puts this idea in something else I believe he would be very successful

Could have involved her life too not just 50k

Op before you call those people scammers you need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask what type of person agrees to such shady deals in the first place.

You are greedy and you just proved that under the right circumstance you are willing to short change your customers for more profit.If i had a business to do, you will be my last option.You were even willing to dabble into an area you have no business in just because of ojukokoro. you are a dishonest greedy fellow.


You never jam 419er. It's mostly psychology. Notice the money to be taken was not even on the makeup thing and the issue about floor came up later. It's deflection and u won't even realize that was the plan all along. An area she is not specialized in? Tell me you have not taken an opportunity in an area u were not specialized in if it was a sure deal? In the Nigeria, we live in now, specialization wih just kih somebody. Better hustle and pray 419 no jam u. It's sweet to criticize and feel smart but anyone can fall mugu.

i don jam 419 before infact on four different occasions ,one was the shell job scam as far back as 2014, another was dollar scam in a taxi,even recharge card scam and bvn scam ,so there is nothing you will tell me that i dont know. Only a greedy Or extremely dumb person who is alien to "delayed gratification" falls for this kind of scam.

For the op to have agreed to be an accomplice to short change a third party without even questioning why a so called religious person will be that crooked shows just how morally bankrupt the op herself is. Lets call a spade a spade.

But... What if it's real?
Or am I falling for the scam too?
Lol its very real, i cant blame the lady, the hustle is real and u make money from any opportunity that comes your way, if u need to suvive this our naija, this guys have a way of searching out people livelihood, via social media or so, and once they know that; coupled with the fact they always address you with your name you probably will fall for them they always sound very convincing and confident.
it happened to me too when i used to run my catfish bizz, u just have to be careful especially when it gets to the point of paying for stuffs without even meeting them....oga ruuuuuuuuuuuuun scam.

Thank God for you!they are everywhere looking for greedy people to scam. I got this type of call with the same storyline few weeks ago,he called himself Dr Nwachukwu,same day he called my husband. He even called our full names and mentioned where we live. My first thought when i listened to him was why me? Don't you have some poor people in your family to help make millionaires. I immediately called my husband and he laughed that he got the same call and the man asked about me,called me by my name! My husband played along,called all the people he was asked to call,eventually lied to have transferred 1.2 million. The man called back after about 30 minutes and was very angry that we wasted his time and all....

Op is a typical fish brain Nigerian

Willing to scam others but doesn't want to get scammed herself

What a greedy being

You were willing to scam your own clients over a few hundred bucks

Scammers only prey on greedy fvcks like op

the scam there is to get the sample chemical or oil as the case may be which they will later tell you its not the original one and ask you to go get from another supplier.

note that they will not allow you to come to their shop, they will send someone who will be at alert to see if you are coming with police or strange individual. the person will be the one to give you the supposed chemical or oil bought on the road side, not even in a shop because they won't allow you to come to any shop.

that is how they will keep recommending you to more until they close shop.

by then you would have spent to an extent you will become desperate to get your money back.

they usually use the name pastor and alaji to fool their victims to believe they are dealing with righteous person.

It's a long read with lots of grammatical errors, please bear with me.

You don't even owe anybody good English. This's not an English essay writing competition.

Have you ever communicated with Chinese people online? Do they write the best English? If not, how come they're better than us that write the best English?

It is our slave mentality that have us wanting to outdo white people in their own language. We cannot be in our right state of mind and want to write a foreign language better than ours. Ironically, if you visit American or even British online forums as I do, you'll be shocked we're doing better than them in English!!.

If someone doesn't understand what you've written, then its safe to say the person don't actually understand English better than you, because if they do, they'll spot those grammatical errors themselves and correct them as they read on.

I wrote a book and decided that no other person would edit it for any errors. The best English I learned is what I'll write, and I am totally fine by that. This's a language that was given us at gun point, and if were smart the right thing to do would be to reject it.

Thank God you didn't lose your money.

yes but some tame it while others let it run wild ,the latter is what a larger population of Nigerians decided to do.

Any non-greedy sensible person would have backed down when they heard the shady deal ,OK fine, she even wanted to supply detergent ,lol abeg , lets be realistic i wont trust the op not to rip off her/his next client when conditions are favourable.

See the way you're talking tough, I'm just laughing at you.

For your information I'm not a greedy person, maybe when you know the true meaning of that word I'll indulge you.

Must you eat Rice? Is rice the only Nigerian food that you can eat? I get irritated when people lay so much emphasis on Rice and that is the reason the smuggling of rice will never stop!

you are not greedy but you agreed to connive with Mrs bola to short change her boss. You even accepted to collect 70% of the deal while mrs bola collects 30% so in your mind you think Mrs bola is a fool abi? Na only you like money, mrs bola is so dumb that she will give you such a high precentage on a deal she initiatied. You even went as far as agreeing to supply detergent, so what business does a makeup artist have with detergent?because you wanted extra ontop the 70% you will collect from the over charged services.

Instead of laughing at me ,you should go and look in the mirror and do a serious introspection. You my friend are a crook and will not blink when the opportunity comes to cheat your clients. You are one of the reason this country is like this.We keep complaining every day but here you are willing to cheat another person but you skipped that part and want to play victim.


Lets assume it was real ,how do you think Mrs bola's boss will feel? In the eyes of the law you are nothing but an accomplice.Think on that.
